Adoption Date: August, 2004

Adoption Story: Jojo was a kitty in the shelter that I was working at in the summer pf 2004. He was a really sweet, pretty cat and I made sure to say hi to him and sit down to pet him every day I was there. I talked to Den about possibly adopting him, but Den didn’t really want a cat. One day out of the blue he decided I should get him. Jojo had been moved into a foster home I just found out and I figured he was probably better off - until I found out they needed to remove him from the foster home, as one of the foster’s cats was picking on him and making him a nervous wreck. I decided to take him home on a trial basis. Well I took him home and fell in love with him and couldn’t let him go.

Travel: Another reason I was hesitant to adopt Jojo was because I still had one more semester of college left. The original plan was to leave him here with the husband and Zeeke. But it was quickly clear that Jojo did not like Zeeke, and I was heartbroken at the thought of leaving him behind. Many emails home later, I got permission from my mom and dad (with whom I lived during the school semester) to bring him with me. Once there he very quickly made friends with Oreo and Tessa, and started picking on Angel.

Personality: Jojo is very much a social cat. He’s also very vocal, so he’s always walking around “talking” to you. He spends a lot of time laying on my desk while I work - sometimes being annoying and standing over the keyboard. He’s very active and kitten-ish, even though he’s clearly a grown cat.
