About Jasper
Jasper is a beautiful big tabby cat, with paws like a tiger. He was abandoned when his owner moved house, and had to fend for himself on the streets until he was noticed by some local residents, They fed him, gained his trust, and had him collected by a ranger, and then he came to us. This beautiful boy quickly adapted well to being kept indoors, and he loves to window gaze. He is shy at first and needs time to get used to new people, but soon warms up and shows how very affectionate he is. He loves to rub his head against the legs of those he trusts. He's keen on jumping on a lap for a short time, but he is also happy to just sit next to his foster carers, and purrs contentedly while enjoying a head rub. He is also inquisitive and playful! He loves to shred the daily newspaper with his teeth and then spit out the pieces, and loves to stand on his hind legs and reach up to the bench to help you get his food ready in a more timely manner. He is communicative and loves to chat to you during the day, but come bedtime, he settles quietly throughout the night.
Jasper is approximately 2 years old, and is FIV+. FIV is only contagious by fighting, which is what Jasper had to do to survive when he was living outside but no longer does.
Jasper is looking for a new foster home as the resident cat at his emergency foster home does not tolerate other cats.

To adopt a cat from Cat People you'll be required to have a remote or in-person house check done, show photo ID & proof of address, and fill out & sign an adoption contract.
Cats from our group are all are vet checked, flea treated, wormed, vaccinated and desexed before being taken home by their adopters. Additionally, all of our cats have been evaluated for behavioural traits, fed a high-quality diet, and well socialised. Please note: all Cat People cats and kittens are indoor only, this is not negotiable.
We will communicate with you through every step of the adoption process to ensure that your experience (and the cat's) is excellent and that you are confident in your decision to adopt a feline companion. Returns are only accepted due to health issues confirmed by a veterinarian.
We only accept adoptions from people with residency in Australia. If you are on a work or student visa, talk to us about fostering with the group instead!
