Trader Jane (TJ) spent months outdoors in West Village with her brother, hoping someone would bring her inside. Eventually, a kind neighbor made sure she got the care she desperately needed. TJ's brother has since been adopted, but TJ needed extra attention because she has a heart murmur. After her echocardiogram, she started a daily medication—she’ll need it for life, along with two vet checkups a year for her heart. She is now spayed and back to her sweet, affectionate self. You’ll find her happily gazing out the window, curled up on your lap purring, or nestled in a cozy spot close by. TJ is gentle, uses her paws softly, but will sometimes reach out and nibble your hand when she wants attention or play. She’s also a talker and won’t hesitate to ask for what she wants with her voice. A calm home suits TJ best, since too much chaos stresses her heart. She’ll hide when she’s scared, so peace and routine help her relax. While she gets along with other mellow cats, her reactions to dogs are unknown. She should be fine with kind, gentle children.
