Hello, my name is Jackie and I'm looking for someone. Are you looking for a calm, sweet cat? If that is a yes, then you might enjoy my company. I'm only 2yrs old and I'm sad right now being alone in a cage while I wait for someone to adopt me. I understand that kittens get homes first and I know I just need to wait until it is my lucky day.  For now, the wonderful cat volunteers give me time out of my cage everyday in the visiting room. They pet me and brush me and I like to rub on their ankles to thank them. There is a window seat where I can look out the window at the silly birds too. If you would enjoy a buddy at home, will you come by to meet me?  I'm easy to take care of and I like to sit near you. I enjoy a soft bed for my naps and it would be great to have a cat tree next to one of your windows. I will be okay if you are gone during the day at work and I will be happy when you come back to hang out with me. If you get those little soft mice toys, I like to try to catch them when you toss them to me. They make me feel silly, like a kitten again. Oh! If you have one of those string toys, it is fun for me to chase it when you play with me.  If you have another pet at home already, will you give me my own bedroom to start so I can get used to them?  I'm scared because I don't know they are my friend yet.  I'm hopeful that someone will be in to adopt me soon.

You can visit me during the Animal Viewing hours below. You can call first to see if I'm still available: 410-313-2780 Option 0. Applications are accepted in person at the shelter after you visit me out of my cage.
