JACQUES COUSTEAU — The Fearless Social Butterfly & Tiny Supervisor
Personality: Confident • Fearless • Deeply Affectionate • Hilarious
Jacques Cousteau is joy at full speed. He is a social butterfly, a fearless explorer, and one of those kittens who believes the world exists to be loved — especially by humans.
As this profile is being written, Jacques is lying right next to his foster mom, purring loudly and carefully supervising every single sentence. He occasionally gives an approving head bump, just to make sure his story is being told exactly the way a little legend would want. Clearly, he believes he deserves top billing… and honestly, he’s right. 😹
His Story
Like his siblings, Jacques Cousteau was found tucked into a bush behind a gas station parking lot, just steps from a cat colony where every single cat has already been fixed. These babies were far too young to be on their own — barely able to walk — yet when they saw us, they came running and screaming, asking for help with every ounce of strength they had.
They needed help learning how to eat and spent several days in a baby incubator, wrapped in warmth, patience, and constant love. Even as a tiny baby, Jacques already had his cute, tiny meow, full of determination and heart. With love, he blossomed into the confident, affectionate little legend he is today.
