Jacks or better to win . . .
Jack is an adorable black and white kitten who had a very rough start in life and hasn't let it get him down. Some very nice people spotted him huddled in the middle of a busy road in York; cars were just driving right over top of him while he cowered between their wheels. The people stopped traffic, scooped him up and took him to a vet to be checked over before surrendering him to the York SPCA. His x-ray showed a growth-plate fracture of his right clavicle. (One of the cars driving by obviously struck him.) Because of his age, the fracture will heal on its own with four weeks of confinement. He has already improved noticeably after just one week in his cage. When we first saw him at the SPCA he was holding his right leg up and not putting any weight on it. Now he stands and walks gingerly and has even been seen sticking his leg out of the cage in an attempt to play with the other kittens. We take him out often and give him lots of lap time because this little guy, even with a broken shoulder, is the biggest love bug we've ever seen. He sticks his little head under your chin and purrs and purrs and purrs. He cannot get or give enough love. (Although he really doesn't like being in a cage -- when you put him back in he cries and cries to come back out.) We think that any animal who can be this gentle and loving even when in pain, deserves the very best home. Jack is a true little miracle and we think any family would be lucky to have him.
Jack has had his first shots and tested negative for FeLV and FIV. He will be neutered and up to date on rabies by the time he is ready to go to his forever home. If Jack has stolen your heart like he has ours, please go to our Forms page and fill out an application. We don't think this little charmer will be here even one day after the end of his confinement. The adoption donation for Jack is $100.
If you are unable to adopt Jack, but would like to make a donation to offset his medical costs and day-to-day care, please click the Donate link below. Be sure to put "For Jack" in the comment box on the donation page, so we'll know which cat you want to help.
