Pet of the Week: Plenty to Love About Resilient Cat Jonas
By Staff Writer
Published on Fri, Oct 23, 2026
Jonas is a handsome kitty with a story to tell.
When this 9-year-old feline first arrived at Long Beach Animal Care Services, he was a sickly cat in need of significant care. Since then, he’s been an incredible trooper, enduring medications, handling and surgeries to treat his eye. Through it all, Jonas has maintained his gentle demeanor and love of affection, winning over the volunteers who care for him.
After having been through so much, this 9-pound softy has a uniquely tough-guy exterior and distinctive eye. He also boasts a creamy white coat, peachy-orange markings and wonderfully whiskered face.
This one-of-a-kind cat, who will need some ongoing medical care, deserves a happy ending.
