Jed is a 7-year-old orange tabby cat with a calm presence and a history that tugs at your heart—a gentle, affectionate companion who found himself at risk in a shelter after his owner's passing. Despite his tough break, Jed keeps his sweet spirit and impeccable manners, always tidy with his litter box and grooming. He's the kind of cat who fits easily in most homes, and he’s especially wonderful around children and other cats. Jed is looking for stability and warmth in a forever home, after so much upheaval. He’s neutered, fully vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, treated for parasites, and comes with a microchip and free lifetime registration. Meet-and-greets are available either virtually or in-person by appointment at his Chicago foster home. Give this deserving guy the steady love he’s missed. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
