Welcome to Jill

Jill is the sweetest, most darling cat...She's so special she decided she'd inspire a blog about her so that her foster family could share more photos and details about her unique brand of love...Right now, to be sure she gets her paw print on the blog, Jill is sitting on the couch, between her two foster parents...snuggled in, prime spot, purring.


The most notable thing about Jill is her calm loving demeanor. This beautiful orange and grey dilute calico with a dark grey heart-shaped nose loves to cuddle. She'll stare up into your eyes, sigh, and then settle in for a good long nap with some deep purring. She's a grateful cat.


Jill came in to Town Lake Animal Shelter without a history. Usually we get to know a little something about a cat's past...but we know nothing about Jill except what she manages to communicate. She's declawed, but still happy to let you touch her feet and if she's really loving the snuggle session she'll make biscuits to show her joy. Jill is very calm. She'll do great with children. She's very comfortable with other cats (her foster family has 3 other cats). Jill has never shown any hostility - she doesn't bite, growl, hiss, or scratch (with her hind legs since she's front declawed). She is just dying to be in a home that she can trust and that is full of love. This little gal blossoms the more love you show her. What you give her, you get 10 fold back. Gratitude defines her.

Jill walks with a cute little wobble. Something happened a long time ago to one of her hind legs. It doesn't inhibit her mobility (she jumps up on the couch, climbs stairs, and has a sense of independence); but, it's best if Jill has her food dish on a carpeted surface because when she bends down if the surface is slick (since she doesn't have front claws and her one hind leg is weak) she has a hard time getting a grip. Carpet solves the problem : )

Jill's a delight! We'll be posting her latest episodes of sweetness here...along with more photos of her...
