This cat is part of our shelter outreach program where we take pets from overcrowded shelters in hopes of finding them a forever home here! We generally do not have much background info on them. They are all up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered and microchipped.  FIV/Felv negative.
Jose is about 8 years old and came to us from an overcrowded shelter in Philadelphia that sent a plea for help. What's his story?  Jose had a home, he was neutered, microchipped and cared for.  Then, he was turned into the shelter when a new baby came into the household. What's his story?  He's broken-hearted.  
Jose will come out when it's quiet or closing time.  He hides in his bed when new people come into his room.  Once he does get to know and trust you, he is receptive to petting and attention.  In a calm quiet home where he can be the only cat we think he will settle in and be just fine.  
He just needs out...he just needs another chance.  Could you be his hero?  Lets change his story and give him the happy ending he and all the other shy and shut down pets deserve.   Apply today online.   https://jerseyshoreanimalcenter.org/cat-adoption-application/
