About Jiji

Meet Jiji, a charming black cat with a silky coat who is eager for companionship. She’s affectionate and social, enjoying visits from friends who stop by for a chat. Jiji loves head pets and ear scratches, but she prefers to keep all four paws on the ground, so back scratches and being picked up are not her favorites. Treats are a highlight for her, especially freeze-dried chicken, her ultimate treat. She can spend her time batting around fuzzy mice, particularly if they're infused with catnip. Watching the world go by from the window is another favorite pastime. If you’re looking for a delightful companion, Jiji might be the perfect match for your home. Come meet her at the shelter and see if you two hit it off wonderfully!
