About Jake

Jake is a playful little guy whose favorite pastime is spending time with his sister, Jasmine. As a shy kitten, he will require a gentle and patient approach to help him feel at home. Expect it to take some weeks, or even months, before he settles in and starts exploring his new space. Initially, he might hide from visitors, so providing a quiet environment will be essential. To help Jake adjust, it’s crucial to set him up in a single room with food options and hiding spots to create a sense of safety. Keep the door closed while he acclimates, and don’t rush him out into the larger house until he's ready. Remember, patience is key to forming a lasting bond with him. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
