And Chelsea Lindsey, AWLA’s communications director, said nothing was wrong: It was Jared鈥檚 purr that had everyone gathered around.
鈥淲e discovered that he has the most fantastic purr that I have ever heard in my life,鈥� Lindsey said, laughing. 鈥淗e almost sounds like mix between a pigeon, a cat, a raccoon and I don鈥檛 know what.鈥�
His purr 鈥� a mix of a trill and a coo 鈥� is not only unique, it鈥檚 loud.
鈥淲hen his kennel door and he鈥檚 purring, we can hear him in the lobby with the door closed,鈥� Lindsey said.
Jared’s unique purring even landed him a new home. Lindsey said a woman drove to Arlington from Baltimore to adopt Jared after seeing the cuddly cat in the video below.
A vet has checked him out, and there鈥檚 nothing wrong with him. He just has a voice that鈥檚 all his own. Lindsey said he鈥檚 a healthy, snuggly cat.
Hear it for yourself in the video below.
