Jaws

Jaws is missing one eye and all of his teeth but that does not slow him down one bit. He is curious, chatty, playful, and loves attention from his humans (on his terms of course). Do you need an accountability buddy for your desk job? He will lay on your lap for hours, forcing you to stay at your desk and work! He will also lay on your lap as you watch TV, and on top of you as you sleep. I can only imagine how snuggly he's going to get as winter sets in! He is a really sweet gentleman and the perfect lap warmer. He'll even let you switch positions if you're gentle about it. So considerate!

Jaws is on a prescription urinary diet to help prevent urinary complications. He is great about using the litter box. He prefers to be fed almost exclusively canned food. Because he has no teeth, he will NOT chew up your stuff or bite!

Jaws will need lubricating eye drops twice daily or more. He also has arthritis and takes gabapentin twice daily to help with stress and abdominal and arthritis pain. His medical needs are not very burdensome but they do require consistency. That being said, he's worth the extra effort. He is affectionate and loves life, and he will show you that he loves you as well!

Jaws feels very comfortable around big dogs right away. He takes a long time to warm up to other cats, 7+ weeks, but is showing steady progress during supervised visits. Jaws is a vocal kitty and will meow when he wants something, and to communicate little things. He loves chin scratches and pets, but only for so long. Once his tail starts whipping around, the petting shall come to an end and a choice will be made: 1) lay on lap undisturbed 2) lay nearby undisturbed or 3) retreat to a favorite spot for alone time.

Jaws would thrive in an environment where his people are home most of the day, but if not, he would love a friendly dog to hang out with.
