*** SAFE 12/11/17 *** A volunteer writes, “You’ll really hit the jackpot if you bring home this big love bug! When I walked up to his cat condo, he popped out of the cubby right away to say hello and waited patiently, rubbing his head on the door until I opened it to give him a scratch behind the ears. This lovable orange boy loved attention and tried to climb into my lap, softly purring all the while. He’s really a winner!”

I came into the shelter as a stray on 22-Nov-2017.
Jackpot is at risk for medical reasons, having been diagnosed with Upper Respiratory Infection which is contagious to other cats. Behaviorally, we recommend that Jackpot join an experienced cat home.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
