In the shelter’s words

Hi, I’m Jack ~ I may be a little shy when we first meet, but give me a short minute and I’ll warm right up. I’m a true lap kitty at heart, though I’m just as happy curling up right next to you and relaxing. I love gentle pets and affection, and once I’ve gotten a few, I’ll settle in contentedly just to be near my person. I’m not much into toys or playtime — I’m more of a mellow, easygoing guy. I am very vocal when it’s time for breakfast, though! I know the routine well, and when you start making coffee, I’ll be sure to remind you it’s my turn to eat. I’ll also call out if I can’t find you sometimes — it’s my way of saying I’d like to be close for a few pets. I found my way to safety after wandering up to a family in a rural area, where I quickly became friends with children ages 3 to 8. When the weather turned cold, I was brought inside and given the care I needed. After being fully vetted, we learned the cause of my limp, and thanks to Ruff Start, I’m getting surgery to fix my hip. I’m a sweet, calm, loving boy who would be an amazing companion for a family looking for a gentle, affectionate kitty to share quiet moments and lots of love. Jack is from a stray surrender. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
