Meet Jack! Jack is a sleek black kitten with the cutest white markings and silky smooth fur. He is a super-cuddly, calm, and sweet baby boy. Jack is a total package he is completely litter trained, acts like a total gentleman with the litter box, and is doing great as he recovers nicely from a mild cold.
How He Got His Name & Weight Gain Journey:
Jack was named after Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas because he came into foster care in the fall, was a bit on the skinny side, and is wonderfully lanky! His foster family even affectionately calls him "String Bean." He originally came to foster care specifically to gain some healthy weight, and he is coming along so wonderfully.
Siblings & Cats:
Jack has a foster sibling named Sally, a kitten who is about a week younger than him. When they were first introduced, Jack was absolutely enchanted by her and was quite the little flirt! He remains very curious about her, but because Jack is a gentle soul and not quite as wild or playful as Sally, he sometimes likes to find a quiet spot to hide when she gets too rowdy. Even though Jack is older and bigger, he's truly just a gentle baby on the inside! He loves other cats and would do wonderful with feline siblings who are respectful and won't be too rough with him.
Uniqueness & "The Spicy Rumor":
When Jack first went into foster care, the rescue warned that he might be a little "spicy." But as it turns out, the only thing "spicy" about Jack is that he likes to perform a single, mandatory hello-hiss when you first walk into his room! The absolute second you go to pet him, he completely melts, collapses, and reveals that he is actually 100% sugar, no spice, and everything nice. Jack’s foster parents work with him every day on desensitization, so he is totally cool with being held and having his ears and paws handled. He isn't picky about his humans at all—he instantly adores his foster mom, foster dad, and any friends who come over to visit!
Likes:
Cuddles, Cuddles, & More Cuddles: Cuddling is Jack's number one, two, and three favorite hobbies! He loves rubbing all over your legs and body, and he is always asking for more pets.
Grooming You: Jack shows his affection by gently licking your fingers and toes to make sure you're squeaky clean.
Cozy Spots & Forts: Jack loves finding quiet, hidden places to nap. He is a huge fan of the blanket fort his foster parents built for him and he'lll sleep tucked safely inside and peek out before exploring.
Sunbathing & Views: He loves hanging out in the window hammock to bask in the sun and watch the world go by. He also uses the tall cat tree and loves sleeping in the hammock all the way at the top!
Gentle Wand Play: Jack is not a "zoom-around-the-room" kind of guy. If he's going to play, he prefers you lead the way with a wand toy he'll patiently wait for the string to swing close to him and then reach out with a gentle, polite paw.
Challenges:
Jack was recovering from a cold, so his energy was currently very calm and mellow for a kitten (though his sweet personality may shine even brighter as he continues to get 100% healthy!). He also takes a moment to process new entrances just remember that his initial "spicy" hiss is purely for show before he collapses into a pile of purrs for pets!
Interactions with Other Animals:
Cats: Excellent! He loves other cats, provided they aren't too rough or overwhelming for his gentle nature.
Dogs: Jack could live with a dog sibling, but they must be socially aware, gentle, or neutral/uninterested. He does best with calm energy.
Good in a Home For:
Jack would be a wonderful addition to so many different types of homes! Families with Kids: He would do great with older children who understand that kittens sometimes need their space and gentle handling.
Multi-Pet or Single-Pet Homes: He would thrive in a home with another gentle cat or a calm, neutral dog. He would also do wonderfully as an only pet where he can soak up all the cuddles from humans who are around to give him love.
If you are looking for a silky, lanky, purr-machine who will groom your toes and melt into your lap, Jack is your boy!
