My story

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

Jiji is a 4-month old 4.5 pound male kitten who was rescued from Prospect Park in Brooklyn, NY



Jiji is the perfect mix of athlete and cuddle bug! With his long legs and graceful leaps, Jiji loves to chase after wand toys and balls - he'll even play a game of soccer with you, passing the ball back and forth like a pro!



After playtime, Jiji loves nothing more than to be plopped onto your lap and be a little purr machine. He truly loves to be social with his people - he is known to greet his fosters at the door with little meows and will run up to his people for affection when they come into the room. 



Jiji also loves to play with his foster kitty brother Figaro (who is also up for adoption at Waggytail!) so we are confident he will do well in a home with another playful kitten or cat.



Because Jiji loves playtime and cuddles so much, sometimes he gets a bit distracted at mealtime, so he'll also do well in a home where his people can remind him to eat in order to grow up big and strong! Jiji is obsessed with Churu and treats, however, so it will be easy to reinforce positive behaviors with these being his rewards. 



Come meet Jiji and see if he's the perfect addition to your family!



Please note: Because Jiji is a kitten, he will need to be adopted into a family that already has a playful kitten or cat OR will need to be adopted with another kitten (like Figaro!). 



Vaccinated for FVRCP and rabies. FeLV / FIV negative, neutered, and microchipped.



To apply for Jiji, visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for an adoption application. It is important to fill out an application as soon as possible for consideration, and we require a complete application for you to meet an animal. We are currently unable to respond to general email inquiries as an all-volunteer run rescue. If the animal is on our website, they are still available.



Waggytail Rescue CANNOT guarantee the exact age of any adoptable cat, or final size of any of our adoptable kittens. We rely on the information provided to us by veterinarians, shelters, owner surrenders and other circumstances bringing the cat into our rescue.
