Description: Siblings: Jackson, Jake and Josh These three brothers have come a long way. They were abandoned and left in a carrier when they were itty bitty with the hopes that someone would take them in. Well, fortunate for them they were found by someone who knew one of our foster families. Three little boys who started out with no hair and mold around and inside their ears have grown into three beautiful hardy young men. When vet'd for the first time, it was discovered they suffered from skin mites (thus the reason for no hair) and it was determined that they were probably rescued from some type of damp swampy area. Thank goodness for the people who rescued these boys, even if they were not able to keep them themselves!!
Once happy and healthy, these little men went up for adoption. Having been the worst off of any kittens ever in this foster mom's care, the parting with them was very difficult. It appears however that her concern (although natural) was very much mis-read and the woman who initially found these boys took it upon herself to adopt them out, bring them back and give them to her as a Christmas gift!! Well intended, we're sure, but these boys needed the opportunity of individual love and attention and the ability to receive one-on-one love in a forever home. For you see, our foster mom already had a family of four-legged fur balls of her own, adding these three put the animals in her household into double digits. Although it takes time, this particular foster has learned that you cannot personally keep them all, and that there are other people out there who can (and will) love them as much as you do and/or can if given the opportunity.
Good intentions, we're sure, on the part of the part of this woman 'gifting' them to this family, but please take this as a prime example of what we mean and discourage about giving 'gifts' to others that eat, breath, shed and cost money on a daily basis; putting another individual and another family in that position is never a good idea. If an individual is ready to take on this type of commitment, it needs to be taken on by the individual. Gifting an animal, really doesn't work in the long run for the family or the animal. The goal, please remember, is always to place animals into the right home, a forever home; not another temporary stopping point. Too many transitions in an animals life will impact the overall disposition of the animal. It does not allow them the opportunity to feel secure and establish a trust factor.
Don't get us wrong, these boys are all super sweethearts and that is why they are presently being listed on this site. They each get along wonderfully with other cats, it would just be in their best interest to be in a household of less competition for attention. They each deserve their own individual time to shine not just blend in with the crowd around the home of our foster family. Perhaps you are the individual to be able to provide that for them?!?

Pet Rescue By Judy is a non-profit, no-kill organization. The PRBJ donation fee collected may not be used to cover just the costs of this particular animal in which you are interested. As we have a variety of animals in our care with a wide range of medical needs, all donations collected are utilized towards all expenses within the rescue.
The goal of PRBJ is not just to place every animal into a home, but it is to place each animal into the RIGHT home, seeking that forever home, to avoid future transition and negative impact on the life of each of these deserving animals.
THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING OPENING YOUR HEART AND YOUR HOME TO A RESCUED PET
