Story
Jag is wonderful, loving, male Tuxedo cat that needs a loving forever home. He is very affectionate and loves to cuddle, play, and be held. Jag is neutered, vaccinated & microchipped. He was an abandoned stray and I rescued him (DOB guesstimate: May 2021). I have been his foster mom but need to find him a forever home by May due to housing, health, and job changes. Jag is very social and seems to like other animals, both cats and small dogs. He needs a quiet house with adults that have experience with cats and introducing them together with time (if there are other animals in the house). We are not sure how he would do with young children. He is not good with hectic, noisey environments. He has been an indoor cat since I rescued him. He really wants to be an outdoor cat so we have a catio. However, I think he would be just happy with other pets & people that are at home more. I have a mobile catio, toys, beds, litter boxes, carriers for him and his new home.

Sweet, friendly, active. Loves to sit in your lap when watching TV and sleep on bed with you and cuddle all night. Was abandoned by neighbors when they moved so we took him. He somehow lost half his tail so we have been treating him with our vet. Treatment is almost done!

Story
I inherited Bartleby the cat after the unexpected death of my dear friend. Bartleby is a cuddly lap cat, which would be lovely were it not for my serious cat allergy. He is a 16 year old tabby with a kind and sensitive disposition. He gets on well with other cats, but is not used to dogs. He doesn't hide from strangers or people he doesn't know. He would be happiest in the home of someone who can spoil him with lots of attention and affection. He is not your stereotypically aloof cat. He prefers to remain close to his humans throughout the day. As a senior cat, Bartleby is in the early stages of kidney disease. We have him on a special diet currently. Most cats develop kidney disease at some point or other. Fortunately Bartleby is in stable health and seems content. We would love to find him a forever home with a special person who is willing to commit to caring for this kind and gentle soul!
