| JAGAR NEEDS A HOME
(COASTAL PET RESCUE) Jagar is a gorgeous and sometimes shy guy with a gentle soul. He stares right at you with his large green eyes. He was recently returned to CPR after being adopted in 2016. He was a shy guy when he first came to CPR, but he’s really come out of shell. He is gentle and affectionate, and when you lay down, he’ll cuddle as close to you as he can and grace you with his purrs. He likes affection, cuddles, and head-buts. He has a sweet, chirpy meow and purrs when he’s getting petted. Jagar is cat friendly and would do best in a home without little ones.
