About Jonas

Meet Jonas! Jonas is a sweet and playful 2-year-old kitty with a stunning orange and white coat. Sadly, he’s been returned twice by young adopters who struggled to meet his emotional needs. He tends to get lonely and anxious, sometimes peeing outside the box when feeling stressed. Fortunately, a recent vet visit revealed he has crystals, and with a special prescription diet, his condition is under control. Jonas eats well and is on a low dose of medication to help with anxiety, but we believe that in the right home, he may thrive without it. Jonas would flourish in a quiet environment where his humans can give him attention. He might even appreciate having another cat as a companion, though we've yet to test this. He's currently in a foster room, needing a special and loving home where he can truly feel safe. He’s fully vetted and up to date on vaccines, ready to find his forever family. If you can offer Jonas the love he deserves, please consider adopting him!
