Jerry - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Shelby, Michigan

Meet Jerry!

4-month-old neutered male

Looking for a seriously sweet kitten? Jerry would like to apply for the position.

This little guy LOVES attention, but there is one thing he may love even more: BELLY RUBS! Yesterday we had students come to visit, and as you can see from his picture, Jerry was absolutely soaking up every second of it.

And then there’s the purr...

Jerry has one of the LOUDEST purrs we have ever heard! Give him some love and that tiny motor starts running. He is affectionate, happy, social, and just an all-around fantastic little cat.

The hardest part? Jerry has already been waiting much too long for someone to choose him.

He’s only 4 months old. He should be growing up in a home, discovering sunny windows, stealing someone’s spot on the couch, getting endless belly rubs, and learning exactly how wonderful it feels to have a family of his own.

No kitten should have to grow up in a shelter.

Jerry has all that love and one ridiculously loud purr ready to go.

Now he just needs someone to take him home.
