Jacques

My story

Au revoir Québec, bonjour Ontario: Jacques the cat has landed!Jacques, a handsome ginger monsieur, has left his vagabond life behind and has made his way west to join the EHS family. As he adjusts to life in a loving foster home, Jacques would like to move on and find his forever “famille.”ABOUT JACQUES- In foster- Fun fact: the vast majority of fully orange cats are male.- Despite being a gentle cat, Jacques is very shy around people.
