🍩🌶 MEET JALAPEÑO 🌶🍩

Are you looking for a cute boy with a spicy name but a fun and sweet personality? Well, look no further, you've found him - "Jalapeño!"

Nature
I came into care with my four siblings and Foster Mum said I was a "spicy wannabe". I would hiss at her, but I was so cute while doing it she couldn't take me seriously and instead would try and rub my belly. Don't tell her she found my weakness and I loved it, but I'd still pretend I was mean for a few more days to act tough. Now I don't have time for spice only all things nice like those belly rubs and playing with my siblings.

Foster Mum also calls me "clown”. I don't know how she gets that mixed up with my name as it sounds nothing like Jalapeño. She says it has something to do with me climbing everything upright, rugby tackling the other kittens and making sure every toy works properly within a 30 second period. Then she says I crash and have to recharge for a few hours, which I love to do up high on anything I can.

I can be a little shy if I have not met you before but give me 5 minutes and I'll have you sniffed out whether you are a cat person and allowed to rub my belly.

Companions (Children, Cats & Dogs)
Being in a bigger litter and having a foster sister I bonded with immediately, I should be able to adapt to cat friendly pets of every kind, even though I've only met cats so far.

I’ve also met young kids and boy can they be noisy, excitable and a bit overwhelming. I think I could learn to love little people if they are calm and know that I need some space and time to get to know them.

Likes / Dislikes
Well, I'm only little still I haven't found too much to dislike yet - maybe the typical noisy vacuum and sudden movements. My Foster Mum uses the handheld vacuum, which I run and hide from at first but then I come out and like to supervise and let her know the places she’s missed.

My favourite things are belly rubs, other cats, toys, anything I can climb and food. At the moment I am eating kitten wet food 4 times a day and biscuits in between which I think I prefer. I am a little shy about being picked up but sit on the floor or couch with me and I will climb you like a cat tree and rub my scent all over you to claim you as mine.

My PURR-fect home would be one where I get to shine and be the centre of attention. I would love a fur friend at my new home, perhaps you could adopt me with one of my siblings? If you already have a furry pal for me that’s okay though. I would love a home with someone willing to be slave, rub my belly, bow to my every need and not mind when I jump on them to remind them I am here and want to play.

Perth Rescue Angels recommends all cats are indoor only, unless they have access to a secure cat enclosure.
