JACK

This sensitive shy guy is Jack, a 10 year old cat looking for a new home. Jack can be really worried when interacting with new people or environments, and he's been through a lot of pretty scary transitions recently, so he's finding shelter life to be overwhelming. He's hoping to go to a lower-traffic home where he can work on adjusting and building confidence at his own pace. Because he's fearful, Jack will do best with a family able to practice petting consent - meaning, letting him be the one to initiate interactions, and offering breaks when petting or grooming to ensure he's still opting in. Senior cats are often overlooked due to their age - while kittens and young adults cats are often adopted quickly, many of our senior cats wait longer to find their perfect match. We think Jack deserves the best retirement home, and adopting a senior can be extremely rewarding. They are extra grateful...and so are we.If you're looking to open your home up to a shy kiddo who's likely to need a gentler start, then come on down to chat with us about Jack! He currently lives in an office away from the main adoption area, so ask staff about him when you get here!
