Jake (II)

When Jake's family grew by one human baby, he and another pet cat found themselves relegated to being outdoor cats. And then apparently even that was too much for the human family, who opted to surrender them to the SPCA. Their neighbor, a former RAPS volunteer, found out about this turn of events. Worried that the cats may end up having to be euthanized if they could not be adopted out soon enough, the neighbor paid the adoption fee and brought them to RAPS.


Despite receiving such a miserable demotion from his human family, Jake has lost none of his faith in humanity. He continues to be as much of a people lover as ever and delights in any loves and cuddles that might come his way.

  3. The brother he came in with is Casper the white fattish kitty who is a newcomers/backcourtyard cat. They were both originally in the single, first new cats I encountered when volunteering.
    Jake needs lots of cuddles these days.
