Jared & Tess's Story

JARED & TESS — THE PLAYFUL LIVEWIRE AND HIS GENTLE STUDENT<br/><br/>JARED (MALE BLACK)<br/><br/>Jared is a bright, curious, highenergy boy who brings life into every room he enters. Hes playful with absolutely any toy, affectionate with his people, and sweet in that enthusiastic, slightly chaotic way only young black cats seem to master. Hell happily crawl onto your lap for attention, soak up pets, and chatter away while he explores.<br/><br/>Jared is a good eater, loves squeezeup treats, and gets along well with other cats. He tolerates brushing and is generally easy to handle. Like many affectionate, highenergy cats, he may give occasional little bites — not aggressive, just part of his exuberant communication style. Because of this, hes not recommended for homes with small children.<br/><br/>TESS (FEMALE BLACK & WHITE)<br/><br/>Tess is a shy, gentle girl who is still learning what life with humans is all about. She notices people but prefers to keep a bit of distance until she feels safe. Once shes comfortable, shell quietly approach for pets, trilling sweetly to you and the other cats. Shes not a cuddler yet, but with patience and a calm environment, she may grow into it.<br/><br/>Tess is a good eater, enjoys both hard treats and squeezeups, and gets along beautifully with other cats. Shes beginning to explore interactive play and will happily entertain herself with toys around the room. Her energy level is moderate — shes neither hyper nor sedentary, just steady and thoughtful.<br/><br/>THEIR DYNAMIC<br/><br/>Jareds confidence and playful nature help Tess feel braver. She watches him closely, follows his lead, and is slowly discovering that humans can be safe and enjoyable. His presence gives her a sense of security, and her gentle, sweet temperament balances his highenergy enthusiasm.<br/><br/>They are a complementary pair: Jared brings courage and fun; Tess brings quiet affection and emotional warmth.<br/><br/>IDEAL HOME<br/><br/>These two will thrive in a patient, calm household that understands shy-cat behaviour and is willing to give Tess the time she needs to blossom. Jared will settle in immediately and become the household entertainer; Tess will take things slowly and open up at her own pace. A home without small children is best.<br/><br/>Why Adopt Them Together<br/><br/>Jared is Tess's guide to the world. She trusts because he trusts, and she learns by watching him interact with people. Keeping them together gives Tess the best chance to continue her progress — and gives you the joy of watching a shy cat grow into her personality with the help of her confident companion.<br/><br/>Jared DOB May 2025<br/>Tess DOB March 2025<br/>Jared Colour: Black<br/>Tess Colour: Black & White<br/>Jared Personality Traits: Friendly, Affectionate, Playful, Smart, Curious, Funny, Athletic, Lap Cat<br/>Tess Personality Traits Quiet, Learning to trust, Shy at first<br/>Jared Energy Level: 4 - medium high<br/>Tess Energy Level: 3 - medium<br/>Good With Children: untested<br/>Good with other Cats: yes<br/>Good with Dogs: untested<br/>Good with other animals: untested<br/>Jared's Favourite things: Squeeze up treats, wand toys, red dot, springs<br/>Tess's Favourite things: Squeeze up treats<br/>Medical Care Received: Sterilized, first shots, deflead, dewormed, microchipped<br/><br/>Adoption fee for the pair 450$
