7. Jack
Meet Jack! He's a 5 month old kitten who is extremely shy around new people. He's been very good about vocalizing his boundaries, but the shelter environment is pretty stressful for him. His foster has reported that he gets along with other cats and dogs. He tolerates being held, but he LOVES cheek and neck scratches. He's very playful and food motivated, but would prefer a quieter home as he's still startles easily even with people he knows.

Adopting a cat in Colfax
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
