Au revoir Québec, bonjour Ontario: Jacques the cat has landed!
Jacques, a handsome ginger monsieur, has left his vagabond life behind and has made his way west to join the EHS family. As he adjusts to life at the shelter, Jacques would like to move on and find his forever "famille."
ABOUT JACQUES
- At shelter
- Fun fact: the vast majority of fully orange cats are male.
- Jacques is shy but very gentle. He prefers to hang out either on or behind his cat tree.
- Jacques is quite nosy; he will come to the front of his kennel when he thinks no one is around, but quickly retreats when someone approaches. He is also quite interested in any cat who happens to pass by his kennel.
- He will allow chin scratches after a gentle introduction and calm reassurance that he is safe.
- Jacques is food motivated, accepting treats by hand and licking Churu tube treats off fingers and back-scratchers. He will meow for his dinner too! Food is absolutely the way to this cat's heart!
- Jacques is a skittish cat who has had minimal experience with humans.
- He is currently enrolled in EHS's socialization program, where dedicated volunteers are working to help him to become more comfortable around people.
- Some skittish cats may remain reserved, while others may express their trust and affection in a variety of ways. As we get to know Jacques, we will be able to identify the key to success with this sweet boy.
- Jacques is neutered, microchipped, dewormed, flea-treated, SNAP-tested for FIV/FeLV, and up to date on core vaccinations.
JACQUES' IDEAL HOME
- Given his shy nature, Jacques would do best in a calm, quiet home (without young children or dogs) where he can show his true colours at his own pace.
- He is currently sharing a kennel with a compatible feline and would enjoy spending his life "avec un ami."
- Potential adopters should be prepared to commit the time, effort, and patience required to help Jacques settle into his new environment. EHS will provide post-adoption support to assist Jacques with a successful transition to his forever home.
