My name is Jif!

Jif was adopted from the DC Humane Rescue Alliance at just a few weeks old way back in 2016. I am not a cat person but Jif's temperament made it very easy for me to get on board with having a cat in the house. He was raised by our lazy dog, so he kind of thinks he's a dog and is very easy going. He loves lounging on the couch or in your lap, getting cuddles, and chasing toys every now and then. Lately, he has been an indoor cat, but he once thrived playing around in our small backyard without wandering off.

We now have a one a half year old daughter who is very curious about Jif, but Jif does not want anything to do with her. That is creating some friction! For a while, we could manage, but now that our daughter can move, the environment is too stressful for Jif. To be sure, he has never been aggressive towards our daughter. We want him to live in a calm apartment or house, preferably with another relaxed dog who likes playing with cats every now and then.
