My story

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

Jiji is a gorgeous male black cat who is around 3 years old. He was found outside, underweight, missing patches of
hair and covered in ticks. He had no survival skills and was too friendly to be a stray cat. We suspect he was abandoned. His rescuer has nursed him back to health and now Jiji is ready to be adopted!

After an initial adjustment period, Jiji adores cuddling! He's very sweet and affectionate and likes to sit on your lap or be held. He is very food motivated so I believe he can be trained to some extent with food. He doesn't climb on counters. He likes to talk when he's hungry but is quiet all day otherwise and mostly sleeps. He tends to be a little more playful in the evening. He is fine with being left alone during work hours. Jiji is a creature of habit and likes routine. Jiji had urinary crystals when rescued and is being treated with a prescription diet.

Jiji is shy at first, like many cats. Allowing him time as outlined in the 3-3-3 rule for cats (3 days for adjustment, 3 weeks for getting used to the routine, and 3 months for feeling "home") will set him up for success!

Jiji is FIV and FeLV negative and up-to-date on shots. He'll be neutered soon. Email marie@kittykind.org to apply!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All cats and kittens are vaccinated and tested for FELV (feline leukemia) and FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), and if old enough, are neutered or spayed.
We will ask you some questions about your home and we will be glad to answer any questions you may have. Adopting a pet is a long-term commitment. We ask you to sign the KittyKind Adoption Agreement.
We will always take a cat back FOR ANY REASON. We will also work with you to place her in another good home if (after a period of adjustment) the adoption doesn't work out.
We do ask for a $125 adoption fee to help cover some of our food and veterinary expenses. For certain purebred cats (Siamese, Persian, Maine Coon, etc.), we request a $150 - $300 adoption fee.

More about this rescue

KittyKind is a New York City not-for-profit, no-kill, all-volunteer cat rescue and adoption group. All of us at KittyKind have opened our hearts and homes — and emptied our pockets — to save thousands of cats from neglect or abuse. Every cat we rescue is given food, shelter, medical care, a safe place to lay his or her head and most importantly of all, a reason to purr. We do not believe in rescuing a cat or kitten only to euthanize it if it has a broken leg or needs extended nursing care. We never give up if there is a chance of saving them. We take responsibility for each and every life we save and if a cat or kitten is unadoptable, they have a home with us for life.
We believe that animals are not property to be discarded, disposed of, or killed just for the crime of being homeless or unwanted. We believe that people should be friends, caretakers and protectors of animals. We believe that we must take responsibility for the life of every animal we rescue who through no fault of their own, is abandoned, sick, disabled, old or unable to care for themselves. We are dedicated to relieving their suffering, providing food, shelter, medical care and comfort until we can place them in a safe and loving home.
