Jasper

My story

Jasper rocks!Yes, Jasper IS quite a gem. He’s a friendly, free spirit who is quite sociable. Second time’s the charm for Jasper, as he was originally adopted from EHS years ago, but was surrendered due to allergies in the home. They loved him dearly and wanted the best for him, so they contacted EHS. ABOUT JASPER- In foster- Jasper is a smart and loving cat! He loves to sit on laps and purr. Jasper will ask for affection by touching your face with his paw, because he wants you to rub your face against his and kiss the top of his head. - While in foster, he was successfully clicker trained to sit and give fist bumps! He loves to sit upright on top of boxes like a statue. - He will meow for food. Jasper is highly food motivated, and it’s another way to unlock his purrs! - Jasper isn’t high energy, but he does like to run around the house and play with bouncy balls, wand toys, the laser pointer, and automatic cat motion toys. - He is an ardent guardian of his home. He is very protective, running to the door to investigate visitors, but all he needs is a proper introduction to ensure that he feels safe and calm.- Jasper is a sweet fella with a lot of big feelings! A back-scratcher is an essential tool to redirect any sense of fear or agitation in Jasper. If you tap it on the floor he will come running for pets on his head and cheeks.- Daily anti-anxiety medication helps Jasper to stay calm, but he still needs support from his people to help him manage some of his triggers.- Jasper is neutered, microchipped, dewormed, flea-treated, SNAP-tested for FIV/FeLV, and has received core vaccinations.JASPER’S IDEAL HOME- Jasper needs a quiet, spacious home with no small children or other pets, and few visitors. - Transitions to new environments are difficult for Jasper so adopters need to be prepared (treats help!), but once he has settled, he will show his loving side. - He’s not suitable for first-time adopters. Jasper needs a person who is experienced with cat behaviour and won’t be concerned if there is hissing, swatting, or biting.- Jasper is available on a foster-to-adopt basis. Potential adopters should be prepared to commit the time, effort, and patience required to help him settle into his new environment. EHS will provide post-adoption support to assist Jasper with a successful transition to his forever home.If you think Jasper would make a rock-solid pal, Jasper will bring t
