JoJo

ADOPTED

JoJo
Color:       Black with white undercoat (Smoky Black)
Age:         Adult
Gender:   Neutered Male

History:

In early 2008, Jojo was returned to the PAW Society when he was hospitalized with a urinary blockage.  Jojo was originally adopted from the PAW Society and because cats, with quick medical attention, can make a full recovery from a urinary blockage, PAW paid the veterinary costs and welcomed him back into the adoption program. Providing a cat with a high quality diet (canned food is a good option if your cat will eat it), fresh water and making his world feel safe and secure are what prevent urinary problems in cats.  Jojo has had no recurrent episodes since his return to PAW.  He is on a good diet (corn-free) and prefers clumping clay litter.  He would like to live with fewer cats than he currently does.

Personality:

Cats without claws can feel vulnerable around other cats (for obvious reasons).  Claws are extremely important to the emotional well-being of cats and having them removed is a life-altering event.  Claws are removed by amputating the cat's claw up to and including the first knuckle. With de-clawing being so extremely painful and an unnecessary surgery of convenience without benefit to cats, the procedure needs to be prohibited as inhumane and riskier than people realize (more info on the Don't De-Claw! link).  He is a very sweet little guy. He is active, curious, playful, affectionate and smart.  His favourite toy is a catnip bag.  In a previous home, Jojo was allowed to go outdoors.  Even for cats with claws, letting a cat free roam is risky business.  In his foster home, it took Jojo a few months to get used to being exclusively indoors. He takes very good care of his long coat and never has matting issues.  PAW would be willing to place Jojo in your home for a trial period to see if he would be a good fit for you.  He is waiting for just the right person. Could that be you?
