Get ready for a sad story! Mista Jay was found abandoned in his carrier at a vet`s office in northern Macomb County. At 9 years old, you can imagine how scary it was for him to be put in that circumstance. His owner left a note saying he was current on vaccines and that they could no longer care for him and hoped a good home could be found for him. Mista Jay was microchipped, but unfortunately the chip was never registered, so we were never able to make contact with his owner.
Since being at MCAC, Mista Jay has been sad, confused, depressed and a little grumpy at times while he waited for his stray time to be done so he could be put up for adoption. Mista Jay is now ready to find his furever retirement home. He is a special adoption as he does have some quirky personality traits that make it really important that we find just the right fit for him.
Based on our interactions with him from staff & volunteers we believe he would do best as a solo kitty in the home. We are looking for a cat savvy adopter that understands cat behaviors well and can tell when a cat wants to be left alone. Mista Jay loves head & chin scratches, and will seek you out when he wants attention. He loves to come sit in one of our cat volunteers laps when she spends time with him. But when he is done with cuddles he is done and will then need some alone time perched on a cat tree or another comfy spot in the home. He gives pretty clear `clues` as to being done with his ears and his tail that his adopter would need to be aware of, and respect his boundaries. He doesn`t seem interested in toys, but maybe with time he may change his mind about them.
Mista Jay`s ideal home is a kid free zone where he can feel loved and secure again after his ordeal. He would prefer to be the only pet in the home. If you think you have the perfect home for Mista Jay to live out his golden years, come and meet him Mon-Fri between 10-4. You can fill out an application online here:
