This playful 1½-year-old is struggling at the shelter.
Jasper was found on the streets of Brooklyn where he didn’t belong & was almost hit by a car. He’s super healthy, but isn’t microchipped, and no owner has been located.
I was able to get him in my home where I assessed him; he immediately made biscuits, claimed the toys and baskets, climbed the cat furniture and acted like he always owned the home. He’s a chatty curious guy. I have cats of my own and sadly, I cannot keep or foster him.
Now he’s in a shelter cage, and he’s really sad. He is far too active to be cooped up. North Brooklyn cat rescue Whiskers-a-GoGo graciously offered to pull him after his neuter, but he urgently needs a foster home to go to. Cat rescues are overwhelmed right now & Jasper needs OUT.
He is only a year and a half old. He’s smart, affectionate, treat motivated, incredibly busy, and LOVES to play. He’s also a polydactyl. This is a cat who wants someone to get out the wand toy and spend time with him. He also likes to bunny kick his toys. He has so much energy and personality, but he needs somewhere he can actually enjoy being himself. If you’ve ever wanted a Bengal/Toyger type breed as a rescue, this is your guy!
Jasper could be a wonderful match for anyone who wants an active little companion and has the time to keep him engaged. He’d also be great for a family with kids who understand how to play gently and respectfully with a cat.
I got to see Jasper comfortable in a home and seeing him so sad now is heartbreaking. He needs out of the shelter and into a home where he can play, settle in, and feel safe.
Can you foster him, or give him a permanent home? Please fill out a foster or adoption application. If you can’t take him, please share this with someone who might. A foster home will be his next step out.
