Cat of the Month
Jessa is a long-haired torbie cat. Are you looking for a challenge? I have been here for quite a while. It’s not because I’m ugly, everyone who sees me thinks I’m adorable. It’s because I need someone with a lot of patience to help socialize me. I’m a cat’s cat. I like cats better than people. I won’t hurt you but if you try to pet me, I might growl or swat at you, but I won’t scratch you. I need a home with another cat to play with. I do like to interact if you have wand toys or maybe you can tickle me with a feather toy. I would need to be a “foster to adopt” cat because I may not warm up to a new situation for a while. If you have the patience and know how to socialize shy cats, please ask about me. If interested in meeting me, I’m in Room 2.
If you’d like to adopt, please fill out an application form so one of the humans here can call you back to schedule a time for you to come visit!
