Jake

About Jake

Jake came into our care from a multi-cat household and was very scared on arrival. As he didn’t settle in the cattery environment, he went to a foster home so that he has a more familiar environment. Jake feels comfortable to access his resources and is inquisitive around his foster carers. He is still nervous and is not yet initiating for fuss so he will be looking for his adopters to offer a hands off approach.

Jake likes to settle at height in his foster home. He is a curious boy so he likes to keep watch of what’s going on in his surroundings. During the day, he enjoys watching out of the window and overnight he is especially playful. His foster carers will spend time in his own room with him, and in his own time he will approach to investigate. By offering a hands off approach, he will have choice and control over any interactions, if he decides to initiate for this. Currently, he will play with toys with his carers after a little time of observing to gain his confidence. He would love to have a quiet household with patient adopters who will respect his boundaries.

Jake is benefitting from the safety of his own unused room at his foster carers, and finds new surroundings a little scary, so for this reason he must have his own unused room to initially settle in before exploring the rest of the property, and eventually a garden. Adopters will need to be prepared for this room to be used for him long-term as it is unknown how long it will take for him to fully settle. He will need full outside access once he is ready e.g. a cat flap. He cannot be homed in West end area, so16/ so18. Please note, Jake is currently in a foster home in Locks Heath. The successful applicant will be able to meet Jake in his foster home with a member of staff present.

Jake will need an adult only, only pet household to give him the best chance to settle into a new home.
