undeniable that he can blend in just about anywhere.
Jackson enjoys walking on the leash with his favorite humans. He will scent-mark the whole neighborhood to let everyone know that the life of the party was there. In his first few weeks in foster care he has a good relationship with his foster mom, always making eye contact and attending to her cues.
Jackson has sensitive skin because he is still recovering from a flea allergy from his days on the streets. In time, he'll grow a gorgeous coat that will make heads turn. His adopter will need to keep up with regular flea preventative, brushing, and grooming to make sure his skin and fur stay in tip-top shape. His hair is soft and baby fine as it grows back, and he's developing some waves or slight curls on the ends. He enjoys a good grooming! Gentle grooming relaxes this little guy.
Jackson tolerates other dogs, and is presently doing fine sharing a space with his foster parent's pup. He would do best with older, calm kids, and we haven't introduced him to other cats, yet, so we're not sure how he feels about them!
Jackson settles down in his bed quickly and does not complain being left alone. He seems to know to wait to go outside to potty. He has slept through the night and did not need to use pee pads when left home during the day in a large penned area.
He has met several neighborhood dogs and did great socially. He was also calm when a toddler gave him a gentle hug on his head. He will make a loyal companion to the person or family who can see the little beauty he is inside and out.
