Jewel is searching for her forever home and is such special girl! We love this write up from her foster mom!
History: This mommy of 3 was trapped by a kitten rescue (Cats of Westwood Rescue - a registered 501-c3) in April with her three kittens. It was clear from the start, she was NOT feral. Although her kittens were terrified, she was the most grateful mother and eager for us to interact with her babies. She was immediately named Jewel due to her precious personality which continues to shine bright for anyone that has the privilege of meeting her. The family of 4 was brought to my home on April 27th to learn the ins and outs of being pampered house cats until they were old enough to be spayed/neutered and adopted to their furever homes.
About: Jewel is a tiny thing, even after 3 months of chowing down on high caloric kitten food, she weighs in at 7lbs. She is social and wants to meet anyone that enters the room. After a long day, she will happily greet you and walk across your lap a dozen times until you give her the proper rub down that she patiently waited for. Rub her enough and she will flop over for tempting belly rubs and silly upside down head tilts that is entertaining for all. If you stop the massage, she will gladly take a gentle swat or love nibble at your hand to bring you back to the job you forgot to finish. She loves cleaning herself and is notorious for leaving her tongue out mid and post bath time which always gets everyone laughing. For whatever reason, she is attracted to shirtless men. Don’t ask.
Kids: Jewel has proven her worth over and over again with the amount of tolerance and love she constantly shows my 3 and 6yo boys. We always supervise interactions, however, turn your back for a second and there’s a good chance my youngest managed to awkwardly scoop Jewel up for some lovin’. As bewildered she may be, she has responded kindly towards the children that have interacted with her making her a great candidate for families with children.
Dogs: Dogs have interestingly been treated as welcomed guest in Jewels foster room. She typically becomes submissive to my 2 goldendoodles, will roll on her back to allow sniffs then tries to engage in play. She has not shown aggression towards them since being in our home and seems curious to learn more about them.
Cats: As for cats, if introduced properly, she should have no problem living with another feline friend. I will gladly teach you how to properly introduce an adult cat to the rest of your feline family. Yes, it takes time to do it properly and rushing the process can cause major delays and result in many issues down the road. If done correctly, the results are rewarding and I promise, watching cats become a family is very rewarding.
Health: Jewel is spayed, microchipped, and has age appropriate vaccines. She is a healthy, tricolor beauty, just looking for a family that will keep her safe and provide the occasional rub down. Jewel did sustain a knee injury on May 30th which has left her with a limp that worsens after being overly active. Think of it like the reoccurring ankle/knee injury from your athletic days that occasionally acts up after a day at the zoo… you wake up feeling stiff/sore the next day. Jewels can relate and is here to remind you that your not getting old, you just did dumb stuff growing up. Her injury has been managed by our vet over the last 2 months. Our vet said the knee does NOT require surgery and will become more stable with time as the scar tissue continues to heal over. Jewel may experience arthritis in the injured knee but this can be managed by keeping her lean and giving medications to manage symptoms if needed as she ages. She is not on and does not require medication for her knee at this time. Jewel is playful and active but the injury does limit her ability to run, jump, climb, and maneuver as efficiently as other cats making her easy prey for outdoor predators. For this reason, the vet urges that Jewel be kept as an INDOOR ONLY cat.
