Notes from Starfish Animal Rescue

Jazz is a sweet, social girl who desperately wants to be your friend—she’s just still figuring out how to be brave enough to do it!

Jazz absolutely loves other cats and comes running when her foster humans walk through the door. She wants to be wherever the people are and will hang out as close to them as she can. There’s just one catch: as much as Jazz loves people, she’s still scared of being touched.

That certainly doesn’t stop her from trying, though! Jazz plays with toys with her foster humans, comes yelling for them when they get home, and has even gotten brave enough to give them a quick little poke with her nose before running away. Every small interaction is another step toward learning that people can be safe.

Jazz hasn’t had much experience with humans, and even in her short time in foster care, she has already made wonderful progress. She’ll need a patient adopter who is willing to let her build trust at her own pace rather than expecting her to become a cuddly cat overnight.

Because she absolutely adores other cats, Jazz would make a wonderful companion for another kitty. A confident feline friend may even help show her that these strange human creatures aren’t so scary after all!
