Jif the ‘Wonder Cat’ – Pet of the Week

Every Thursday morning at 7:15am on the Lite Rock Morning Show, the Humane Society of Ocean City brings in the new Lite Rock Pet of the Week.

If you are thinking about adding a pet to your family, please consider adopting from the Humane Society of Ocean City, a no-kill shelter recognized as one of the nation’s top ten animal shelters.

This week we met Jif the cat...

"Jif came to the shelter in 2010 when she was just 6-months old. She was born as a stray kitten in a cat colony. When we first saw her she had a peanut butter jar stuck on her head. It took over a month to catch her.

Jif has been with us ever since. She is a friendly cat, but very sad. She would like to have a home of her own and a lap she could sit on and not compete with other cats.

She will take a little getting used to her her new home as she has never had one, hut with a little patience, she will be fine.

Jif would do best in a home with no other cats or one laid back cat.

She most likely will not work well with a dog unless it a a quiet one not interested in cats."
