Jerry

*** Jerry aka "Jer-Bear" is in a foster home. *** White & orange tabby, medium hair, neutered male, born approx. 6/15/18, #19140 Cats: enjoys kitty friends Dogs: unknown Children: older respectful kids A Good Samaritan found Jerry at a trailer park; in talking with the park manager, she learned that he had shown up several months before. Jerry was in bad shape by then. His tail was blackened and bloodied, he had pneumonia, and infections were raging in both his mouth and his ears. Yet he was a very affectionate kitty, and he took all the needed medical treatments like a champ, even when he had to wear a cone for a month. His tail could not be salvaged and had to be amputated. Throughout, Jer-Bear was a gentle and cooperative patient; now he has fully recovered, is in spunky good health, and is looking forward to finding a forever home! Jerry has lovely light green eyes that can look sad, but he is actually a very happy guy! He will run up to people with a loud purr and jump up on the couch for nice long petting sessions. Jerry loves to lie on your chest and make grunting little meow noises; he'll put his nose to yours to nudge and say hello with a sweet kitty kiss. His foster likes to call him "Jer-Bear" because he reminds her of a cute polar bear with the way he walks combined with his new no-tail look. He especially likes his hind end to be scratched, and he will "wag" his little stump; he also rolls over for tummy rubs and is comfortable being carried. He's adorable. Jerry will enthusiastically play with balls and string toys, and he has quick jerky movements that contribute to his (creamsicle-colored) polar bear resemblance. Jer-Bear seems comfortable being around other cats: he is eager to play and will run up to another kitty stopping just short in a bid for attention, though he is respectful of cats who don't want to deal with him. We don't know his thoughts on dogs. He would likely do well around older children, though rambunctious younger ones might be a bit much. Jerry is a loveable fellow who is looking forward to a life full of snuggles, purrs, and playtime. Does your dream match his?
