Hello there, my name is Jack. I am blind; let's just get that out of the way right off the bat. I used to be sighted but infections got the better of me and both eyes are now gone. That will not define who I am though. I am full of energy and love to run around and play.
At the moment, I have a great buddy to do that with, another slightly older cat who has taken me under his paw and has been showing me the ropes of how to be a good house cat. My big brother and I not only enjoy playing with each other but we often sit together by the window and occasionally groom each other. I do like being with other cats and would definitely prefer a new home with another buddy that I could hang out with.
My foster humans tell me that I have quite a distinct personality. It's true, I guess, as I know what I like. Top of the list is food, any kind. Put it in front of me and I will eat it. Toys? Forget about spending money on those. Crumple up a ball of paper, drop it on the ground, and I will bat that around all day.
Although shy at first, I am becoming more sociable day by day. I've come to like and trust my foster humans and will do that for anyone who adopts me, given a bit of time. I really like sitting near my humans or lying on the bed when they are sleeping. I don't like being picked up though and am not yet a cuddle bunny. My humans can touch me when I am distracted, like eating or napping, but I am still a bit skittish when I can sense them reaching towards me. Again, I just need time, and lots of love....

Additional adoption info
Adoption fee is $250 per adult cat, and $330 for kittens (under 8 months old).
This ensures that the cats that come into our care receive the attention they need, are spayed or neutered, and receive a rabies vaccination at the appropriate age. For City of Toronto residents, the adoption fee includes a mandatory City of Toronto cat license that is valid for one year. As you can imagine, these fees only begin to cover our costs; donations and ongoing fundraising efforts carry us the rest of the way!
Note:
-Senior cats (8 years or older) have an adoption fee of the adopter's choice, vs. our standard adult adoption fee of $250.
-Our adoption fee for an adult bonded pair (8 months or older) is $192.50 per cat vs. $385 per cat. Thanks for giving two loving friends a home together!
