Jupiter is a handsome boy who is working on his people skills. For his first three weeks in foster care he didn’t leave his safe space — a bathroom drawer he cleverly figured out how to access through the back.
Now he is more often found hiding under the bathtub — progress! — and will come out when there is food involved.
Jupiter is very shy and easily startled. He keeps close tabs on every sound and movement around him. He does a fair bit of hissing, but it’s hard to take too seriously when you can see he’s just a gentle, sensitive boy trying to figure things out.
Fortunately, Jupiter is very food-motivated and his trust can be earned with snacks. He’ll allow himself to be coaxed out from under the tub with strategically placed Greenies, and he’ll even accept a few pets while he’s eating his dinner, before offering a little hiss to say ‘that’s enough bravery for today.’
Jupiter is getting bolder all the time and has started to do small exploratory missions outside his sanctuary room, moving low and fast, sniffing everything like a tiny undercover agent.
He’s been slow to reveal his personality, but it’s clear he has an energetic and playful side. Under cover of night, he has been known to unroll an entire roll of toilet paper onto the floor, just to keep life interesting.
Jupiter came from an overcrowded home with 10 cats, so he’s used to having buddies. So far he is still overwhelmed by the friendly resident cat in his foster home. They will play under the door, but that’s enough for now, thank you. It is hard to say with certainty how he would do in a multi-cat home, but it seems likely once his nervous system calms down, Jupiter would appreciate a chill companion.
Underneath the nerves, Jupiter is sweet, silly, and getting braver every day. He’ll need a quiet home and a patient adopter who understands that some relationships take extra love and time, and knows it will be worth it to see Jupiter grow into himself.
If you’re someone who cheers for the shy kid and believes in small victories, Jupiter would love to meet you (even if he doesn’t realize it yet).

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!
