About Jack

Jack is a reformed street cat who now lives for comfort and company. He’s happy to announce his love for indoor life—loudly and often. Jack took his time warming up to home life, letting his foster mom feed, pet, and pick him up before finally giving in to the call of cozy spaces and companionship. Years on the streets left Jack with a few missing teeth and some battle scars, but these days his only fight is for your affection—with a special talent for taking over laps and erasing any notion of personal space. He’s neutered, vaccinated, and FIV+, with a big heart for snuggles. Jack is best as the only cat in the home, but he generally ignores other pets and does fine with children and new faces. He keeps his claws for toys, not furniture, and while he’s no fan of nail trims, he’s getting the hang of it. Jack eats well, uses the litter box without fail, and would love to meet his forever person or family. Start your journey together! Apply now.
