About Jem

Meet Jem, a nearly 10-year-old sweetheart just waiting for a cozy lap to curl up on. This gentle girl appreciates a quieter home and has quite the specific taste in food; she prefers her Fancy Feast and can be a bit selective. Jem offers a wealth of love to those who show her some patience and warmth. While she's sweet and affectionate, she might be best with older kids who understand her need for space and can respect her boundaries. Jem arrived at the shelter as a stray, so we’re uncertain about how she’d interact with dogs or other pets. If you think you might be the perfect fit for this lovely lady, come meet her with the whole family. She’s ready to share her life with someone special.
