Jasper is a beautiful cat who struggles with homelessness. The cat itself made a decision that affected its future. He just started appearing in front of a certain family’s house. In the first months, everything seemed to indicate that he had chosen the animal perfectly, but after a dangerous incident, the couple, who were trying hard to convince the wild cat, had to betray his trust. They did not have a choice.
They were feeding homeless cats. A handsome male cat joins the group of abandoned animals
Kurt and Mel are particularly sensitive to the plight of abandoned animals. The couple, unable to look at the wandering abandoned cats indifferently, feed them regularly and build boxes for them, meant to serve as a substitute for safe shelter from frost and precipitation. Homeless kitten feeders perfectly recognize each animal that regularly eats the meals they provide. That’s why they quickly realized that one day, a long-haired, light-furred cat had joined the group of homeless people they were feeding.
The animal devoured everything it could find on Kurt and Mela’s porch. Even though he visited them regularly, he couldn’t trust them completely. He wouldn’t let me touch him. The feeders named him Jasper and accepted him as he was.
Homeless cat couldn’t fully trust people who helped him
Over time, Kurt and Mela’s patience began to produce visible results. Jasper was growing more and more confident by the day. He still didn’t feel comfortable near the feeders, but he could eat in their company. A bond has undoubtedly begun to form between the couple and the homeless dog. Sometimes the cat even took a nap in the bird feeder garden, as if being near them made him happy.
After a few months, Jasper was ready to accept treats from people who persistently helped him. However, they were surprised when the cat stopped appearing outside their house. He only returned after an absence of several days, suffering and with numerous injuries to his body. Everything indicated that the cat had survived a serious fight with another animal. It weakened considerably and, to make matters worse, the weather began to deteriorate and autumn was approaching.
Jasper’s feeders knew that the cat, being in such poor condition, might not be able to survive the cold months on his own, even if they continued to make sure his belly was always full. They decided to do something they were trying to avoid at all costs a few weeks ago.
They did not have a choice. They decided to catch the suspicious cat
Kurt and Mel made the decision to capture and protect Jasper from the approaching cold, even though they were aware of the risks. Breaking the carefully developed trust and going beyond the limits of the animal’s comfort could ruin all the efforts made to tame the kitten over the past few months. But they had to prioritize, and that was Jasper’s safety.
The couple set up a live trap in which they placed Jasper’s favorite treats. They did not have to wait long to see the results of their work. The same evening, the homeless man was foiled. However, the feeders couldn’t leave the cat secure under their roof, so they left him in Céline’s care. She volunteers with the local organization Chatons Orphelins Montréal, which helps homeless animals.
After visiting a veterinary clinic, the cat showed up at the home of an activist who became its temporary guardian. It turned out that Jasper was infected with the FIV virus, which impairs the functioning of the immune system. Fortunately, the animal quickly warmed up to Céline. Day by day he felt more and more comfortable in his new home, and now he often demands petting and playing together. Everything indicates that he will have many more years of happy life in a comfortable home in the company of caring people.
