Every day I see dozens of pleas for homeless kitties, adding up to hundreds every week. Some are on death row at a kill shelter. Some have been languishing at a rescue or in foster for months, sometimes years. All of them need a home. It makes me feel very fortunate to live in such a wonderful house, but it’s also frustrating because I want to help them all and I can’t. Every so often, someone comes to me with a story about a kitty that stands out from the rest. Jesse’s is one such story, and I hope you share it far and wide because I know his home is out there somewhere — but it may take some effort to find it.
Jesse is a fluffy, handsome guy with a sweet face and temperament, who is currently living in a foster home for Toronto Cat Rescue. He is a little over five and a half years old. No one knows what happened to him before he wound up at the kill shelter where the rescue found, and saved him. He was declawed, and the rescue believes he may have been neglected and/ or abused. He was adopted out once but came back because of litter box issues — which turned out to be kidney disease. A special diet and medication have cleared up much, but not all of his litter box problems. Part of his current inappropriate elimination is no doubt because of the stress he feels in his foster home — there’s just too much going on there for his sensitive nature, and unfortunately, all the other foster homes are full up. Right now, Jesse is mostly living in a cage and he is very unhappy — I cannot say I blame him! The rescue believes that his habits will improve if he finds a safe, quiet one or two-cat household. He will probably never be accident-free 100% of the time, but he will be good enough about it to be a happy, playful companion to a loving, patient human who will buy him the special food he needs and the catnip and string toys he loves.
If you think you might have the right home for Jesse, the rescue will accept a donation of your choice in lieu of their standard $175 adoption fee, plus a generous donor has offered to pay for Jesse’s pills and homeopathic treatment, along with 50% of any future medical bills. Jesse is very much loved by his foster human and the rescue, and they really want him to have a great home.

Hi Sparkle, thanks for letting me know about your post today, yes this is in my area. Poor Jesse I just know in the right home he could relax and blossom into a great cat. TCR is a wonderful group of caring folks (my Max came from them) and I know they won’t give up on him! I’ll also help spread the word best I can!
What a bootiful, bootiful kitty. I do hope she can find a forever home like we has.
Purrs for sweet Jesse, that he finds the right forever home!
He is so beautiful! We hope with all of our hearts here that he will soon find his perfect Forever Home.
Poor Jesse, we will purr that someone sees this post and decides “he’s the One for me”!
We are purraying that Jessee will quickly find a very loving forever home.
He is a beautiful kitty. I hope he finds a home soon….
He is just beautiful. We hope that his new human sees this post (or one like it) TODAY and picks him up! The one thing about cats is you never really know their personality until they live with you – a cat who is shy or bad in a shelter or a foster home can be a complete clown and lovebug once they get home and comfortable.
We do hope this post will help find Jesse a great home.
AW, Jesse looks like furry nice kitty! We hope he gets a good forever home soon!

Poor Jesse
He’s a beautiful kitty, and I hope he finds the perfect forever home soon!
Jesse is very handsome and he has stolen our mommy’s heart so of course she’s all leaky now. She wishes she could give him the loving home he deserves. We’ll purr that someone does soon.

We see so many kitties coming into the Cat Rescue group we work with.
Some of the stories are so bad.
We do not know how the cats forgive as they do the former humans who hurt and abused them, but forgive they do.
We hope that that special home finds Jesse soon, so he can feel the warmth and love of feeling wanted and needed.

Oh, Jesse is such a sweetheart, we hope he finds a loving home soon=what a beautiful kitty…We are purring loudly for precious Jesse…Happy week ahead, sweet friends…xoxo…Calle, Halle, Sukki
It breaks my heart when these innocent and precious beings are treated shamefully. I am so grateful that he is out of the world he was in, but so saddened that he hasn’t found his loving mom or dad.

going to share this right now!
what a great benefactor Jesse has. Hopefully the right home will come along right quick!
Hope Jesse finds a furever home really soon. Such a beautiful boy!
We are saddened by all the shelter kitties, but TBT says 3 is the limit. He cries about them sometimes. We are glad at least that Marley was a shelter cat who was about to be returned there until TBT brought him here…
You are doing a great job in your blog, thanks so much!
And Jesse is adorable!Good luck!

We also hope Jesse will get a home of his own. He sure needs one.
Jesse looks like a sweetie pie…I hope he can find his forever home soon!
