Jasper

Hi there, I'm Jasper - the boy who finally got to hear the best word in the world: YES.I don't know how long I waited in that shelter - long enough to watch my friends come and go, one by one. Every time someone stopped, I'd sit up extra tall, turn on my loudest purr, and hope maybe this time they'd see me. When they didn't, my heart felt a little heavy… but I never stopped believing my yes was out there somewhere.
And then one day, it happened. A kind volunteer looked over and said, "What about Jasper? Can he come too?"
And just like that - the answer was yes.
I rode away from the shelter with my two friends, Amber and Flint, my little paws pressed against the carrier door, eyes wide with wonder. Sunshine! Fresh air! A brand-new beginning! I couldn't believe it was really happening.Now my days are filled with all the good things - chasing toys, batting at anything that moves, zooming around when the playful mood hits, and then curling up for cozy snuggles when I'm all tuckered out. I'm about six to seven months old, full of curiosity, affection, and fun. I'm very outgoing and I love to play and would be over the moon to have a kitty friend - I've always been happiest with a buddy to play with, nap beside, and share adventures.They say I'm handsome (I won't argue), but what really makes me special isn't just my tabby stripes - it's my heart. I waited patiently. I held onto hope. And now I'm ready for my forever home.If you're looking for a joyful, loving boy who believes in second chances - and will happily share his toys and his heart - I'm right here, waiting to hear yes one more time.Love,JasperIf you would like to meet your new best friend, contact the Adoption Coordinator at [email protected] or 865-236-0830.
