Adoption Spotlight: Jack and Fritz
Note: In the interests of honesty, the author of this blog post may be a little bit biased in her description of these two cats...She's housing them!
This is Jack. Don't let the photos fool you - Jack is as rambunctious as they come. He's a gray and white male. He has been neutered and is up to date on all of his vaccinations. Jack is flea and worm free. Jack is convinced he's a tiger in a house cat's body. He is fearless and will attack bugs, string, laser pointers and furniture that steps out of line. He loves to explore and isn't phased by anything. He even runs with the two dogs in the household and has no problem playing with cats much bigger and older than he is. Jack is always on the go, but he's never too busy to curl up and take a cat nap or cuddle with you. He'll warm your toes and your heart.
This is Fritz. Fritz is a shy, quiet sweetheart. He's a black male who, when exposed to very bright sunlight, has subtle stripes of brown. Fritz has been neutered and is up to date on all of his vaccinations. He is flea and worm free. Fritz is the exact opposite of his brother - he's always ready for some loving downtime. He's a big cuddler and is always the first in line for kisses when his foster mummy comes home. Fritz is curious - he has a way of exploring the most curious places and tends to get stuck.
Jack and Fritz are brothers. They are just over four months old as of September 12. Even though they are brothers, they do not need to go to the same home. They can be adopted separately.
Both boys were part of a litter of feral cats, but you would never know it. Their mother did not survive, so both were raised by hand and were bottle fed when younger. Their initial rescuers could not keep them due to a conflict in the house - a dog presumed Fritz was a chew toy. He has suffered no lasting consequences.
Neither cat has problems interacting with cats, dogs, kittens, puppies and even babies. They were perfectly behaved even under the watch of a three year old.
To adopt Jack or Fritz, please contact their foster mother, Caitlin, DIRECTLY, rather than calling the Athens County Humane Society. She can be reached at 215-900-9490 or via e-mail at caitlin.seida@gmail.com.
