🐾 Meet Jingle — The Shy Boy With a Big Heart Waiting to Bloom 🤎
Jingle is a long-haired black-and-brown beauty with a soft, fluffy coat and a tender soul. Rescued from a large outdoor colony, he’s still learning what it means to feel safe and loved—but his foster has already seen incredible progress.
When he first arrived, Jingle was unsure and afraid of human touch. With steady patience and daily trust-building, he has begun to open up in the sweetest ways. He now allows gentle pets, settles into his foster’s lap for occasional snuggles, and has even begun tolerating being picked up for short periods. 💛
He’s still easily spooked and will need an adopter who truly understands slow-paced, relationship-based trust building. Jingle will not do well in a home expecting an instantly cuddly cat—but for someone patient, gentle, and consistent, this boy absolutely will come around.
✨ What Jingle’s Foster Says:
• He no longer hides and chooses to be near people
• He wants companionship, but needs time to initiate touch
• He’s inquisitive, funny, and loves cat treats
• He loooooves blanket forts
• He taught himself how to open the toy drawer and pull out every toy he wants (usually all of them!)
• Completely litterbox reliable
• Currently scared of dogs; may improve with time, but would likely prefer a dog-free home
Jingle also does well with other patient, gentle cats and may thrive with a confident feline friend who can show him the ropes.
He’s the kind of cat whose love is earned, not given instantly—and that makes it all the more meaningful. If you believe the best relationships are built on trust, time, and really good snacks, Jingle just might be your perfect match. 🤎🐾
