Coloration: Van Bicolor
Likes: Being held, hugged and loved. Gentle head kisses too.
Pet-Peeves: The fact that after 2 years here, her older and alpha kat Mouse, still hisses and chases her, even tho Mouse is smaller, her attitude is bigger.
Favorite Toy: Just like her big sister Pooky, Jazz has decided that the ring from a Gatorade bottle is the ultimate toy!... And by total surprise and joy to me, she plays fetch!, bringing the ring back, time and time again, so I'll throw it for her to chase!
Favorite Nap Spot: On top of a warm blankie, the top of the water heater, and the top of the TV. And, on top of mommy at bed time.
Favorite Food: Friskies Moist Food & Purina Indoor Formula
Skills: Yes, she taught herself AND me, that she loves to play fetch. Bringing the toy back every time I throw it! SHE tires me out!!
Dwells:
indoors
Arrival Story: We visited our local shelter for the last three months, donating food, toys and whatever else we could, and always stopped to visit all the kitties there. Sometime in June, "Spaz", as she was called then, kept meowing at us, and insisting we hold and cuddle her, as if she had picked us.
We didn't adopt her then, because already having two cats at home who are well adjusted and happy, made making the decision difficult. Should we, or shouldn't we, try adding a third?
Well, long story short, hubby decided he wants to adopt "Spaz", as his Birthday present, (I gave him the option of adopting Spaz, or a car stereo, he chose Spaz!),, so we went to do so, only to find out she was adopted the evening before... Tears filled both our eyes, and we wanted to leave, but the shelter worker saw how upset we were, and after hearing our story, told us to fill out adoption papers anyway, "just in case"...
Sunday night, right before bed, the phone rang, and surprise and happiness was on the other end, "Spaz" was ours!!... Unfortunately, her adoption fell through, and we were able to bring her home Monday night!
She's still adjusting to her new life, and her new sisters seem okay with HER, but she hisses at them. I have faith that they will adjust in time, as they are all spoiled and much loved, and now, "Jazz" as we re-named her, is receiving all the love and cuddles and kisses she so deserves!!
I also realized when we adopted her, that "Hey!, she's a Turkish Van", a breed I had years ago, and had long since fallen in love with!.. I guess both hubby and I made out, not to mention Jazz!!
Bio: Jazz was brought to the shelter as a small kitten, but sadly at this time, the shelter is over full, so any strays or drop offs, well, let's just say, it's not good... But a shelter worker stepped in when she saw how beautiful Jazz was, and by getting her fostered, instead of the unthinkable, she had time to grow up, and she was returned to the shelter spayed, shots done, and ready to go into an adoption room. It shocks me that someone could give up such a beautiful, loving kitty, but I'm glad, because she was meant to be ours. The more I play with her, the more I spend time with her, holding and petting her, we talk, and I told her, "I am glad that SHE chose us!!" I'm also glad that she was seen by a shelter worker who stepped in and saved her! Funny how things work out. Jazz has been the purrr-fect addition to our home.
