Jan is a black and white tuxedo Domestic Short Hair with a short, glossy coat, currently living in Homer Glen, IL. She is an adult female, about 8 years and 8 months old, and has been spayed. Jan is house trained and vaccinated. She has special medical needs as she is both Felv+ and FIV+, which require regular veterinary attention and a thoughtful living arrangement among other cats.

About Jan

Jan (Janifur Coolidge) is lively, loving, and always the star of the room. With a giant heart and an even bigger personality, she makes her presence known whether she’s snuggled in your lap or zooming after her favorite string toy. Jan treasures attention, proudly asking for it if you forget, and happily soaks up every bit of affection. She thrives on playtime, especially games of chase, and isn’t shy about ruling her feline crowd—though she gets along just fine as long as she’s in charge. Jan is gentle with children and has a big soft spot for people of all ages. Living with both FIV and FeLV (regressive), Jan doesn’t let her special medical status slow her down. She’s robust, content, and as affectionate as ever. However, as FeLV can only be shared with other cats, Jan needs to be an only cat or join a home where any feline companions are also FeLV-positive. Dogs and other animals are not a concern. While FeLV can impact a cat’s lifespan, Jan is currently healthy and considered regressive, so keeping a close relationship with your vet and watching for any symptoms will help her enjoy her happiest life. Jan is ready to give her endless love to a family willing to meet her on her terms and continue her care. Her adoption fee is waived for approved adopters. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
