Meet Jasper…
Jasper was found by Bernie, who had this to say about him:
From the first day I saw him, asleep on my bird table – skinny and riddled with fleas – I knew he wanted to live indoors. Claire at MK Cat Rescue treated him, and I continued to feed him until a space was available. They supported me on every query and just before winter set in, his space arrived and Stewart collected him. Forever grateful to MK Cat Rescue that the lovely boy now has a forever loving home.
He then went to stay with our fosterer Lyn, who decided to call him Benji. She shared this:
As a volunteer fosterer for MK Cat Rescue, I always look forward to the arrival of a foster cat and WOW was I in for a surprise when Stewart brought a gorgeous semi-long haired ginger cat into my care in September. It was immediately obvious that he was very friendly and affectionate and just wanted to be loved. I chose the name of Benji for him. He had some sores and scabs on his body which were caused by him scratching himself due to a large amount of sticky grass seed burrs in his fur, they were like little sticky velcro balls and were tangled into his coat, which took a lot of brushing to remove them, but luckily he loved to be brushed. After 2 weeks most of the sores and scabs were gone, and he was a lot more comfortable.
Benji’s first visit to the vet was on the 12th September and he had his flea and worming treatment and vaccination, and an appointment was made for his castration. In the meantime, he had a very upset tummy and started to drink a lot of water so a urine test and blood tests were taken. The castration was postponed until the results were received.
Well, as you can probably tell from the above, Jasper is a very sweet boy. I didn’t think I was really ready to adopt another cat – my lovely Amber had only been gone a few weeks, and we were all very emotional. Plus, with two golden retrievers, we knew we’d need to plan a new addition to our pack very carefully.
And, as you can see, Jasper has fit in really well, within a few days he was very comfortable with my dogs. His stomach is fine now, and he’s a very hungry boy! He loves cuddles and likes to lay over my keyboard, or climb on my shoulders when I’m working at home. We all adore him, and we’re so glad to be able to give him a loving home, he certainly deserves it! Funnily enough, he’s just come to climb on me while I type this.
