About Jasper

Jasper is a charming young boy, approximately 8-9 months old, who is still discovering the joys of human companionship. He and his sister, Stormy, were rescued last September when they were just about 3 months old. Since his arrival, Jasper has been neutered and is up to date on his vaccinations through Furball Farm. His social skills have greatly improved; once a timid kitten who would hide, he’s now more at ease around people. Jasper particularly enjoys treats, Churu, and catnip—his absolute favorites! When he senses visitors, he perks up, hoping for a delightful surprise. Gentle and mellow, Jasper's temperament is more reserved compared to his sister. While he may exhibit shyness and occasionally hiss at sudden movements, he has never been aggressive. Recently, he has even welcomed soft pets while snuggled under a blanket. To thrive, Jasper needs a nurturing and patient home that can support him as he builds confidence in a safe environment. With a little love and plenty of his favorite goodies, this sweet cat can truly flourish into a wonderful companion. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
