About Jack

Meet Jack! This shy 5-month-old kitten is adjusting to the world around him. He has a gentle demeanor, often vocalizing his boundaries when feeling overwhelmed. Jack has been in a shelter environment, which he finds stressful, but he thrives in a quieter setting. He enjoys the company of other cats and dogs, making him a good candidate for a multi-pet household. Though he may not seek out cuddling right away, Jack tolerates being held and absolutely adores cheek and neck scratches. He's playful and food motivated, bringing a delightful energy to his foster home. However, he does startle easily, so a calm and patient environment would suit him well.
