My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

✨ Meet Jellycat – the resilient sweetheart with a heart of gold! ✨

JC hasn’t had the easiest journey—her body tells the tale of a rough start (and honestly, a bumpy middle too). But don’t let that fool you—this girl has an unbreakable spirit and has absolutely blossomed under the loving care of Border Tails Rescue.

Since arriving in foster care, JC has made a full glow-up: she’s put on some much-needed healthy weight, her fur is filling in beautifully, a pesky mammary mass has been removed, she’s been spayed, and she bravely completed heartworm treatment like a champ and is now confirmed heartworm negative! These days, JC is getting used to being pampered—and she’s loving every second of it.

She’s also got a few quirks that’ll keep you smiling. Reptiles? No thanks. Cats? They give her the zoomies. Coming inside when called? Only if she’s good and ready (selective hearing is a specialty). And if you dare try to rush her? She’ll dramatically flop into the grass and wriggle around to remind you just how great the sun feels.

JC is truly one-of-a-kind. She’s never met a person, pup, or snack she didn’t instantly adore. Whether you’re looking to add a loving member to your pack or want a loyal, goofy, snuggly sidekick all to yourself, JC is your girl.

She may be a senior, but her heart is bursting with love, and she’s more than ready to share it with her forever family. Come meet this sunshine-loving cuddlebug—you’ll be glad you did.
