Adopt a Domestic Short Hair / Tabby (short coat)

This is a courtesy post to help find a home for a beautiful cat that is not under the care of Viva Los Gatos Cat Rescue. Here is his story.

Jasper is a loving adult male cat who was devoted to our mother for 9 years after our father died. We truly believe that without him, she may have not lived as long. Although in the end Alzheimer’s won out, she remembered Jasper until the last few months, when she had forgotten pretty much everyone else.? He never left her side.

We are heartbroken in so many ways, but we are thankful for everything Jasper did for our mother.  It is crucial that we find a home that will love him as much as she did.  We are unable to take Jasper into our home because we have other pets and Jasper is a cat that wants all the attention, so he needs to be the only pet in the home.

My mother adopted Jasper after a good friend of hers learned he was being taken care of by local rescue. She saw his picture and it was love at first sight. He was pampered and extremely well fed, and he had a prominent spot on the bed as well as on her favorite recliner.

Mom would tell us how he kept her feet warm, and would place his cold little pink nose on her cheek and then give her a lick to wake her up every morning. He loved to look out the big front window of her home but towards the end, he would not leave her side to look out that window or even when I would fill up his food bowl.

Jasper is current on his vaccinations (medical records available) and has been neutered. He is solid white with one blue eye and one green eye, and is very handsome. According to the vet, he is about 9-10 years old. Although he is a bit plump from good living and loving, the vet says there is no cause for concern. Jasper had some dental work done about 6 months ago and again, there are no health issues we are aware of. He was well cared for, medically and emotionally.

Jasper initially hides from new people but once he gets to know you, he pretty much follows you around the house. He would be happiest devoted to a loving new parent as the only pet in the house.
