Jasper

Rehoming Sweet Elderly Cat

Jasper is a rescue i have been helping get healthy for the last couple weeks. He is finally over his rough patch and is on track to gain weight to be healthy. His original owner developed dementia and his caretaker failed him and his cats. Jasper's brother has been rehomed but Jasper was in too rough a condition. I have done all I can financially to get him in stable condition and he is on track to be a very sweet and loving, healthy cat that just wants to be close to his person. I do believe he had a good life before his owner got dementia, giving him a very sweet and people loving personality. I think he is used to being indoor/outdoor but i have been keeping him indoors for his retirement.
