Jack Domestic Short Hair Bloomfield, NJ

Little Jack is a real quirky character! He's got an adorable face with his outlined eyes and his little mouth pucker. He loves to meander around with his unique sway, shaking his tail, and he is so innocent and silly and lovey-dovey -- it's about time he got off the street!

He was being fed for many years between a couple of houses in Newark NJ and living happily outside until he was seen limping badly, and then he disappeared for several days. When he finally showed up again all dirty and skinny, we said enough street life for him! Time for him to relax and enjoy some pampering!

His bite wound healed and he's clean and fluffy. He has a great appetite, has been dewormed and flea treated.

His overall bloodwork is quite good "for an older gentleman" said the vet! Only thing is that he DID acquire FIV during the outdoor life. Just means his immune system is a bit suppressed. But he is not suffering any ills from it.

We haven't had a chance to fully test him with children but there's no reason to think he'd have a problem with any human; he just wants to flop on his side and have his belly rubbed. He has been hissing at his neighbor cat a bit so maybe he'd be best without another kitty present. Want to keep everybody's stress levels down.

He was first trapped, neutered and vaccinated in 2017 and we are estimating his age to be at least 8 years, but he could be a bit older.

Foster care is cramped. He's in a cage right now with some outings throughout the day. But he'd be much happier if he could march around all day in a happy home of his own.
