James

My story

Meet James – Your Future Furry Best Friend James is a strikingly handsome 4-year-old tuxedo cat with a heart as big as his personality. He came into our rescue as a tiny kitten in 2021, after being born to a feral mom in a rough colony. James had a tough start, and it took time, care, and patience to nurse him back to health. Because of his early struggles, he wasn’t ready for adoption until he was 6 months old. By then, he was a bit older and bigger than the typical kittens—and sadly, often overlooked. Now 4 years later, James is still patiently waiting for his forever home. But we believe the right person is out there, and we hope it might be you. James is a quiet soul who may take a little time to open up—but once he trusts you, you’ll discover the affectionate, playful cat hiding behind those golden eyes. He enjoys gentle cuddles (on his own terms, of course), loves rolling over for scratches, and will happily chat with you in soft meows when he wants attention. While he’s not a huge fan of being picked up, he absolutely adores playtime—especially with feather toys—and has even mastered the art of playing fetch! His love language? Snacks. Lots of them. Food is definitely the way to his heart. James is also comfortable in a harness, making him a great candidate for safe outdoor exploration or leash walks if you’re into that kind of adventure. He currently lives in a foster home with both cats and dogs. He’s indifferent to other cats and might even be coaxed into playtime with a fellow feline friend. Dogs, on the other hand, aren’t his cup of tea—he prefers to keep his distance. What James really needs is a calm, patient home where he can feel safe and loved as he adjusts at his own pace. If you’re someone who appreciates the quiet companionship of a loyal cat who will bond deeply once he’s ready—James could be your perfect match. If this beautiful boy has tugged at your heartstrings, don’t wait—reach out to us at heartandhomerescueorg@gmail.com. James has been waiting long enough.
