JORDAN

HISTORY: The day Jordan came to CFC was the luckiest day of his life. You see, volunteers had set out to trap another cat in the busy parking lot when Jordan decided it was his time for a change of scenery. Prior to that, it was not even known that he was at that location. The volunteers knew he had great potential when he allowed them to pet him right away in spite of the trauma of being trapped and now being in a new environment.

Jordan was now a new resident of the Scratching Post where there were many new sights and sounds that made him retreat to the back of his condo. So much to get used to. One thing that made working with him so much easier was his fondness for treats! After a few months (and LOTS of treats) it was time for him to transition to R2 where he would have the freedom to wander around the room. Once out he has come into his own. Looking oh so relaxed in his many special places. Up on a tree, in a cubby or spread out in the middle of the room! He and the other residents seem to get along splendidly. While he is still a little nervous at loud noises when it is quiet he really shines. Soaking up the massages, chin rubs and even foot massages! He has been such a joy to witness his growth and indeed become the kitty that the volunteers knew he would be when they first picked him!

Fast forward to 2024…
Jordan is slowly learning that he can trust people, leaning in to sniff outstretched hands. Though he does skitter away when he feels nervous of being touched. He has been such a joy to witness his slow growth towards becoming the kitty that volunteers know he can become making us hopeful that, in time, he will accept more interactions with humans in the future. He enjoys spending his time out on the catio napping and relaxing watching volunteers walking dogs, birds, rabbits, etc.! Jordan gets along well with the other cats in his area at The Scratching Post. He hasn’t shown any interest in playing with cat toys, at least while humans are around to observe.

We consider Jordan to be a “project cat” who will need a person who is cat savvy and willing to devote the time and energy needed to gain his trust.
