Jester is a 4-month-old kitten who is still getting used to human company. When left alone his is very playful and will accept pets and scritches in exchange for treats but is still getting used to being close to humans. However, he’s come out of his shell a lot in the past month, and with the right patient human(s) he will grow into being a great feline companion. Maybe not a lap cat or a total cuddle bug, but if you’re willing to work with him as he warms up and understands he is safe forever now, he’ll certainly be a joyous roommate.

As you can see from the pictures, Jester is a beautiful little guy who will soon grow into a handsome adult cat. I cannot attest to his social skills with other cats from direct experience but understand he came from a home with a lot of cats so if introduced properly would likely become a great companion for other kitties. Based on the way he tosses balls around and interacts with feather toys, he’d enjoy a playmate.
