About Jacobp

Meet Jacobp! This sweet cat has a unique charm thanks to his Cerebellar Hyperplasia (CH). He walks a bit like a tipsy sailor, making him both adorable and endearing. Jacobp is a ground-level explorer, which means no jumping up on counters or tables, so you’ll always know where he is. With a few minor adjustments to his environment—like a litterbox with a low entry and no access to stairs—Jacobp adapts beautifully. He may miss the litterbox occasionally and has a bit of a challenge with self-grooming, but he absolutely adores being brushed. His personality shines through, as he loves other cats and gets along well with kids and dogs. Jacobp is generally quiet, with a loud purr that kicks in once you give him some love. His favorite pastime involves chasing jingle balls while he explores his surroundings. He’s looking for a forever home where he can truly belong and share his purrs with his new family. Cats at Seymour Mutts Rescue receive essential veterinary care, including spaying/neutering, vaccinations, microchipping, and more. His adoption fee is sponsored, meaning no minimum fee is required.
