FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ADOPTING J.T. OR ANY OF THE KITTENS: EMAIL VFRgrl@yahoo.com
J.T is named after James Toseland; 2007 World Superbike (motorcycle) Champion :)
He is a very Stunning black and white tuxedo with 2 adorable black dots on his nose that make him look like a bull!
See picture to the right for the human JT.. :)J.T is a VERY special little guy. Some person thought that they would "help" JT and his brother Haga by trapping their Mom who was a barn cat when they were only 4 weeks old. Mom was spayed and put back in the barn- but JT and Haga were kept in the vet office from 4 weeks to 6 weeks where they were then moved to a dog crate in the barn- so he spent the first 8-9 weeks of his life kept in a cage with no play and socialization.
When we took JT and Haga into our foster program- they didn't know how to play or interact 
with each other, other than to snuggle up to each other in a ball. They had never seen a cat toy, and were very scared of toys, people, other cats, and all noises. Slowly they came out of their shell and learned to play with toys.
After JT was neutered, we were returning to the car when his carrier broke open and he escaped into the woods behind the vet office. Because he was still a little loopy from anesthesia, and very scared and disoriented- we were unable to coax him or catch him that day.
Every day, at least twice a day, volunteers returned to the site he went missing to leave food, treats, and clothes with our smells on them. With the help of the resident cat at a business close to the vets office- we finally had an official JT sighting- 4 weeks after he went missing! About a week later (5 weeks missing!!), we got him back- healthy and VERY happy to be back inside.
Since he has returned to the foster home, he has become the “zen kitty” of the house. He is a very quiet, laid back kitty, who loves to snuggle- EVEN WITH THE PUPPY! He doesn’t really like it when the puppy gets excited and tries to play- but JT will climb right in the dog bed with the puppy to sleep.
He loves to sleep with the other kittens as well, and is happiest in a kitten pile (preferably with his brother Haga close by). He is happiest when he can just ‘be’ a cat and snooze up in the cat tree, curled up in a box, or next to you in the bed or on the couch. 
He is a very sweet, very gentle cat who doesn’t let many things phase him but he doesn’t like a lot of noise and commotion. Even though he will come out to greet company- If things get too loud or active, JT just walks away slowly to find a more peaceful hang out spot.
Although he hasn’t shown interest in going outside since he has been home, we would like to see him in a house where SOME outside time would be possible if he chooses. To find out more about Haga and JT, please contact his foster Mom at VFRgrl@yahoo.com.
