This floofy tuxedo fellow is Penguin! He was rescued by a Virginia Beach resident working as a contractor in Jordan as part of his efforts to save some of the many, many street cats of Amman. As his time working there winds down, he’s desperately seeking loving permanent homes for them in the US - how cool would it be to add one of these babies to your family? Not everyone has a Jordanian cat, after all!
Originally, Penguin was a Trap, Neuter and Release (TNR) but he expressed his desire to be a house-cat when he hitched a ride under his foster’s truck all the way home! After an amazing journey like that his foster couldn’t put him back out on the streets so Penguin got his wish and started his journey as a spoiled house cat.
Penguin absolutely loves to play! Whether it’s with his kitty roommates or the silly plastic spring that he carries around the apartment, he is always in action. His nickname is “Jumping Bean” because that’s what he does when he plays with his plastic spring. He will throw it around and bounce up and down after it. Just like his namesake, Penguin also loves water and will sit at the sink and swat at the water while he “helps” his foster human do the dishes. He also likes to combine playing with his love of water and will “drown” all of his toys in his water dish before playing with them. This is especially funny when he drowns his stuffed fish!
He is a very, very affectionate cat and demands to be picked up and will chirp and squeak in disappointment if he is set down before he gets all the cuddles he demands! He will give headbutts and nose boops to greet his foster human and nestle beside him as he sits on the couch and watches television. His fur is very soft and fluffy and his tail is almost as big as his body!
Penguin has never interacted with a dog or children so they might not be the greatest homes for him to be placed in. He gets along well with all of his foster cat roommates but in particular, his BFF, a floofy white cat named Frosty. They have been a bonded pair ever since they were rescued together and have become inseparable. Therefore, they must be adopted together, as we do not want to separate these two amazing friends after all they have been through together. Penguin is just over a year old, microchipped, up to date on all his vaccinations and FIV/FeLV negative.
