Notes from Revelation Gardens
Joseph is one of our beloved “J Boys” —three brothers who hold a particularly special place in the story of Revelation Gardens.
Joseph, Jack and Jasper came to us as tiny orphans and were among our very first rescues, back when Revelation Gardens was operating from a small shop in town. There were originally four kittens in the litter, and their sister went on to become our very first adoption. Joseph was originally named Josephine —until we discovered that she was actually a he. The name changed, but only slightly .
The three brothers stayed, and somewhere along the way Jack, Jasper and Joseph simply became affectionately known as the J Boys.
Joseph is a wonderfully sweet, easygoing boy who loves people. He’s a definite lap kitty who enjoys being held, cuddled and spending time with his person. He also has a playful, curious side and enjoys exploring when he isn’t busy soaking up affection.
The J Boys have shown us just how deeply they can form relationships with people. For a long time, they had a special volunteer who came twice a week specifically to spend time with them. When health issues prevented her from continuing those visits, we could see that the boys missed her. We’ve been spending extra time with them as they adjust, but their response reminded us how much having a person of their own could mean to them.
Joseph has spent his entire life with his brothers and could certainly be adopted with Jack and/or Jasper. However, we don’t want their lifelong relationship to prevent any of the boys from finding a wonderful home of his own. We would consider individual or joint adoption depending on the home and what seems best for each of them.
For someone looking for a gentle, affectionate companion who already knows the joys of a good lap and a loving human, Joseph may be your boy.
