Jack (bonded with Jill)

Jack was targeted for TNR program but was deemed too friendly to be released back into the colony, so AVA brought him inside to learn lessons on how to be an indoor pet. Jack was initially timid around people as he has never lived with them so close in his proximity, but has grown so much more confident with patient accommodations from his foster, he is aiming to be the star of the class! Jack is a bit of an escape artist, and can find his way into tight spaces and closed closets if door are left ajar. Jack is by nature a sweet and gentle cat who has come to really appreciate comfy spots such as the futon, the cat tree, or a windowsill to enjoy the view and receive love and pets from you. When Jack is happy and getting pets, his adorable, gravelly purrs sound just like an old man snoring! This young tabby boy is an athletic explorer and aims to be high up where he can survey the room. Jack is a talker, and making announcements before jumping up somewhere, using the bathroom, or whenever he wants your attention, is his sweet way of communicating his intentions and involving you in whatever he is doing. Jack likes the laser toy, and loves to track the light around the room and will sometimes run to catch it, if Jill lets him have a go! He also likes to bat around crunchy, catnip-filled toys, and toss around toy balls like he is playing soccer. Jack likes to be around people, and comes to sniff your hand to say hello. Although being handled or picked up is still a work in progress, he doesn’t hold grudges once the scary part of being handled is over. He will let you sit beside him and pet him, and he will eat a Churu treat right out of your hand. Jack has a big appetite, and is not shy to polish off Jill’s food too, if given half a chance. He also enjoys being brushed and will occasionally allow his nails to be trimmed when feeling mellow. Litter box manners has never been a problem for Jack from day 1, even though he came from a colony. Jack and his sidekick Jill are fated to find each other, and be best friends forever. This loving couple is eager to find a family of patient, loving folks whom they can rely on to offer the best life possible. Jack would like to think that he and Jill are lucky cats, out of all the cats in their colony, to have been given a chance to find a safe, secure home as their happy forever.
