Jasper, the cat, caught the attention of Kurt and Mel when he sauntered into their yard one sunny summer. He appeared to be a loner with noticeable scars on his ears. Despite their efforts to assist and provide food for local strays, they had never crossed paths with this particular feline before. Determined to help him out, they started leaving extra food on the patio, hoping he would return.
To their relief, the cat seemed delighted to have found a reliable source of sustenance at their house. He gobbled up everything they set out for him and made a habit of coming back regularly for more nourishment.
He wandered into a yard in search of food and continued to return. Kurt and Mel welcomed him, but initially, he was cautious and kept his distance from them. However, as time passed and with their patience, he gradually became more at ease and started hanging out and relaxing in their yard. He even found comfort lounging by the window or seeking shelter in the community cat’s dedicated space that Kurt and Mel had built.
The couple attempted to build a sense of trust with Jasper, a cat named Jasper. In an effort to gain his trust, Kurt and Mel approached Jasper gradually during feeding time. They presented his favorite can of food while he observed attentively from the staircase. Over time, Jasper began to grow more comfortable with the couple’s presence. Although he remained slightly timid, he couldn’t resist accepting treats from their hands.

When autumn rolled in, Jasper’s visits became less frequent. He was nowhere to be seen until one day he returned with visible wounds on his body, probably from fights with other stray cats.
They discovered that Jasper didn’t have a place to call home, and no one came forward to claim him.
One day, he came back with injuries on his body – Kurt and Mel noticed. With the decreasing temperatures, his condition started to worsen. Recognizing the need for immediate action, the couple decided to intervene and bring him indoors. They carefully set up a humane trap, enticing the cat with some strong-smelling food, and patiently waited for him to come that evening.
As the temperatures plummeted, Kurt and Mel found themselves bracing against the cold. Meanwhile, Jasper, a homeless individual, was struggling to survive the harsh conditions. Overwhelmed with hunger and frostbite, he reached a point where he was willing to accept any assistance that came his way.
It didn’t take long for fate to intervene. Jasper stumbled upon a door that seemed to promise warmth and relief from his dire circumstances. Unknowingly, he walked right into a trap, though not a malicious one. The couple, Kurt and Mel, were waiting on the other side, eager to bring an end to his days of homelessness.
As the door shut behind him, Jasper was greeted with cheers and a sense of hope. He was no longer an abandoned soul wandering the streets; instead, he had found individuals who genuinely cared for his well-being.
The couple devised a humane plan and attempted to lure him indoors.

“Finally, just in time for Christmas, he found safety. Jasper was placed in a tranquil space where he could sleep in cozy comfort,” Celine of Chatons Orphelins Montreal revealed.
“He was worn out and somewhat disoriented by all the adjustments, but eventually, he began to let go and unwind.”
Jasper had finally found safety and security with the Volunteers of Chatons Orphelins Montreal. They took him to the veterinarian where they detected signs of old wounds. After receiving treatment, tests, and a thorough vetting, it came as no surprise to discover that Jasper was FIV+. This revelation only confirmed the hardships he had endured during his tough life on the streets.
Once Jasper realized he was in caring hands, he began to actively seek affection. Even at the vet clinic, he reached out his paw from his carrier, silently asking for attention and care.
