Joe ended up at the "Kotofey" shelter for homeless cats when the house he was living in was about to be demolished. Along with him were his brothers and sisters: Wolf, Harmony, Nero, and Elastica. The shelter staff tried to persuade the kittens to leave the property, but the little ones stubbornly returned, exposing themselves to danger. It's likely that their former owners abandoned these poor animals.

Joe is a slightly wary young man but very, very affectionate. He needs a responsible and sensitive owner who can help him believe in love. Joe has one eye that is sewn shut, but it doesn't cause him any discomfort. He can be placed in a responsible family where there may be non-aggressive pets and school-aged children.
