Kitten (5 months 5 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 74 mi from Jonesboro

Meet Jack!

Jack is a lovable, playful little guy and an absolute purring machine! Once he realizes he’s being petted by someone he knows and trusts, his silly side comes out. He loves belly rubs and will happily roll around, soaking up the affection and showing you just how comfortable and happy he is.

Jack also relishes playtime and is always interested in the toys we bring him. He is a sweet, affectionate boy with a playful spirit and so much love to give.

2. Fennec

Kitten (5 months 8 days) · Male · Domestic Medium Hair (medium coat) · 74 mi from Jonesboro

Meet Fennec! He is a very shy and sensitive little boy who is still learning that humans can be trusted. He is making progress at his own pace, slowly building confidence and discovering that people can bring comfort, kindness, and love. Fennec will be ready for a forever home with a kind, patient family who is willing to give him the time and understanding he needs to continue blossoming.

Fennec is a beautiful boy with an unusual coat that is less orange and more of a soft, creamy champagne color. His fur is wonderfully downy and soft, making him every bit as lovely to touch as he is to look at.

One thing Fennec is completely sure about is his brother, Jack. He loves Jack and finds comfort and confidence in having him nearby. Their bond is very special, and we would love to see Fennec and Jack adopted together so they can continue growing, playing, and experiencing life side by side.

Fennec may take a little longer to give you his trust, but we have a feeling that earning the heart of this gentle little boy will make it that much more special.

3. Sherwyn

Kitten (5 months 8 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Tabby (short coat) · 74 mi from Jonesboro

Meet Sherwyn! He is a sensitive little guy with a lot of passion for everything related to his human. He wants to be where you are, he wants to know what you’re doing, and he would probably like to be filled in on your future plans as well. He is a little “mini-me” type of kitten who seems happiest when he is right there sharing life with his person.

He was the runt of his litter, but what he lacked in size, he more than made up for in determination—and volume! Sherwyn had the biggest pipes of them all.

Read more about Sherwyn

Today, Sherwyn is a confident little dude with so much love to give, and we know he would be happiest with another kitty to play with as would all the kitties from this litter.

We allow our cats outdoor time in a securely enclosed, climb-proof fenced yard. If Sherwyn is allowed outside in his new home, we recommend a similar secure enclosure so he can safely enjoy the outdoors while remaining protected from predators.

4. Seymour

Kitten (5 months 8 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 74 mi from Jonesboro

Meet Seymour! We also call him “See Morse Code” because instead of a traditional meow, Seymour often communicates with a series of funny little clicking noises. We’re not quite sure why, but it has become one of his most endearing quirks.

Seymour is the strongest and most robust of his littermates, but underneath that big, sturdy exterior, he is truly just a baby. He loves to be in your lap or stretched out on top of you and, if you hold still long enough, he will happily settle in and make himself comfortable.

Read more about Seymour

When he isn’t cuddling, Seymour is a big-time wrestler and an enthusiastic tree climber. He is playful, curious, and very interested in the older cats. He will confidently run right up to them hoping they might want to play, only to occasionally get a smack in the face for his efforts. Seymour’s response is usually to sit down and quietly ponder where it all went wrong.

We allow our cats outdoor time in a securely enclosed, climb-proof fenced yard. If Seymour is allowed outside in his new home, we recommend a similar secure enclosure so he can safely climb, play, and explore while remaining protected from predators.

5. Saxon

Kitten (5 months 26 days) · Male · Domestic Medium Hair (medium coat) · 74 mi from Jonesboro

In the short time we’ve had the pleasure of knowing this little guy, we’ve been so impressed by how trusting and sweet he is. Saxon is full of love, energy, and personality!

He loves playing with his wand toy and wrestling with his siblings, but he also has a strong desire to bond with his humans. Saxon is very intelligent and responds readily to cues, making it easy to connect and communicate with him.

With his playful spirit, affectionate nature, and eagerness to form a special bond, Saxon is a wonderful little companion who has so much love to give.

6. Darcy

Kitten (5 months 30 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (medium coat) · 79 mi from Jonesboro

Darcy is one of 5 kittens we rescued after the mama cat died. They haven't received much care before now, so they are a little hissy, but they are thriving and doing well. She just wants to be loved, but is still figuring out how to accept human affection. She will be a little shy at first, but she is really coming around and allowing pets. Darcy does well with other cats and would probably adapt to dogs as well. She is litter box trained and spayed.

Adopting a kitten in Jonesboro

Kittens usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're eating on their own and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.

Think about adopting two. Kittens raised together play with each other instead of your ankles and furniture, and many rescues charge less for a pair.

Kittens need more of your time than grown cats: several small meals a day, plenty of play, and a home with cords and small objects tidied away.
