About Jupiter

Jupiter is a gray and white tabby with easygoing charm. Found as a stray and just coming into his own at a year and a half old, he likes to play solo or get you involved—chasing toys, pawing at his water dish, and batting at running water are some of his favorite ways to pass the time. He’s got a thing for lounging in the bathroom sink and keeping watch at the window for squirrels or birds. Jupiter mixes affection with curiosity: he greets you at the door, trails after you around the house, and gladly hops in your lap for a stretch of brushing and pets. He’s quick to rub your face and hand out gentle kitty kisses, even flipping over now and then for a belly stroke. Suppose you pick him up—he’s content for a hold and cuddle. New people get a shy reaction at first, but he warms to those he knows. He gets along well with other cats, and his fosters think he'd be solid with gentle kids. Litter box and scratching post manners are dialed in. If you’re gone long hours, Jupiter would do best with another cat for company; his siblings are still available. Jupiter is in Victoria, MN, and waiting for his next window to sit in. Let’s make it official, apply to adopt!
