Jasper

Hi there, I’m Jasper — the boy who finally got to hear the best word in the world: YES.<br/><br/>I don’t know how long I’d been waiting in that kennel — long enough to see my friends come and go, one after another. Every time someone stopped by, I’d sit up tall, purr my best purr, and hope maybe this time they’d choose me. But they never did. My heart got a little heavy, but I kept believing that my “yes” was out there somewhere.<br/><br/>And then it happened. A kind volunteer looked over and said, “What about Jasper? Can he come too?” The foster said yes. Just like that, everything changed. I got to ride away from the shelter that day with my two friends, Amber & Flint, my little paws pressed against the carrier door, eyes wide with wonder. I could hardly believe it — the sunshine, the air, the promise of something new.<br/><br/>Now I spend my days chasing toys, snuggling into warm laps, and sharing purrs with everyone I meet. I’m about six to seven months old, full of curiosity and love, and I’d really like a kitty friend to play with — I’ve always been happiest with a buddy by my side.<br/><br/>They say I’m handsome (I won’t argue), but what makes me special isn’t just my tabby stripes — it’s my heart. I never gave up hope, and now I’m ready for my forever home.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a happy, loving boy who knows the meaning of second chances, I’m right here — waiting to hear yes one more time.<br/><br/>Love,<br/>Jasper<br/><br/><br/>If you would like to meet your new best friend, contact the Adoption Coordinator at info@almosthometn.org or 865-236-0830.
