My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This is Norway.
When we first got Norway he was in "stranger danger mode and was all like: "Who are you? Where am I? Is this even legal? Who should I call for this cat-napping?.
Fair enough, it does have to be strange to be chilling one day and trapped the next day then taken to some strange location with people you don't know. For that reason I took his hisses and growls with a grain of salt.

Sure enough they were an act and Norway is actually incredibly sweet.
He tends to be timid initially but opened up quickly especially when wet food was offered as a bribe. He is very food motivated and not afraid to ask for more wet food or treats.
He wants to play but seems unsure of toys, perhaps he's not had them before and doesn't quite get it. He's watched some other cats do it and seems interested but is hesitant to join. I think he would love a variety of toys and get to know how to play.
He likes to hang out with us and get lots of pets and attention. He always seems relieved to be inside where he has the ability to relax and just enjoy the presence of humans without having to be on high alert.

He desperately wants to be friends with the other cats but he's currently hanging out in our "senior citizen room and the cats have little desire to be his friend so having another age appropriate feline friend at home or adopted with him is in his best interest (aka, it's required).

He has a stub of a tail that we believe he was born with and was not the result of an injury.
Luckily he has *so far* not had any issues with incontinence or constipation. These issues can happen with cats born without tails (or who have had tail amputation) so he will need to be monitored for the entirety of his life to ensure these issues don't occur.
Despite his coloration, he's not a Siamese. He's just your run of the mill, standard-issue cat who was just chilling in a barn as cats are ought to do.
His coloration happens to be seal point but many breeds carry this coloration and if his mother and father were out wandering about then you can rest assured that he is your classic domestic shorthair which is just cat language for: he's a mutt.
Why is this important to clarify? Simply put, I'm not going to tell you a cat is a specific breed when I know it's just a modge podge cat and doesn't follow pre-defined breed standards.
I feel it's important to focus on the cat and not the breed as all cats are individuals and won't always fall into categories based on their perceived breeds.

Norway is about 1ish, neutered, UTD on core vaccinations, microchipped, dewormed, FeLV/FIV tested, and on monthly flea preventative.
His adoption fee is $75 and his application can be found here: www.jcccats.org/adoption-application
