Rescue
It is difficult when you are on a limited income, and wanting to have something fun and positive in your home, like a kitten, but realistically you are not able to afford the initial Vet care for the spay or neuter. But that has never stopped anyone from bringing home a free kitten. The trouble begins when the cat gets to be six months old. A female cat will go into heat, howl, cry, act silly and may even get out of the house. Male cats will develop a pungent odour to their urine and will sometimes burst out a screened window if he smells a female in heat on the wind. Yes, they can smell those raging hormones on a breeze, and they will travel up to five miles a day to mate. After their ‘fun’, the cat soon realizes that it is lost, no home, no food, no shelter and now no one around to save it. In the case of JuJube, her momma was an indoor cat who got out of the house. One of these lost tom cats found her, and being in heat … well she just was not thinking straight. Her owners found her luckily but since her heat had stopped they assumed she was pregnant and accepted that fact. Eight weeks later six little kittens, JuJube being one of them were born into a tightly financed home.

Personality
JuJube is a very friendly and affectionate little cat, who has been handled gently by the family that raised her and her siblings. She is playful, curious and inquisitive. She likes to know who is coming into the house and will greet them with little mews and her tail straight up in the air. She is as outgoing and playful as she is loving to her care givers. JuJube is adorable and would make an excellent addition to any home. She is a great family cat and ready to be adopted. She is looking for a home that will welcome her as part of the family and will keep her safely indoors.
