1. Jack
Young (6 months) · Male · American Shorthair / Tabby (medium coat) · 37 mi from Winter Haven



Meet Jack—your new cuddle buddy!
Jack is a sweet, loving six-month-old kitten whose favorite place to sleep is curled up beside you. Playful and friendly, he gets along beautifully with dogs, other cats, and even rabbits!
Born on Easter Sunday in a neighbor’s front yard, Jack had a difficult beginning. After his mother tragically died from suspected secondary rat poisoning, we searched for three days before finding Jack and his two siblings. He weighed just seven ounces when rescued. With plenty of love and care, he has grown into a healthy five-pound sweetheart, and both of his siblings have found their forever homes.

Bringing a cat home to your dog
Tell the rescue about your dog: their size, age and energy. A cat who has lived with a calm dog may still be nervous around a bouncy puppy.
Introduce them slowly. Keep the cat in a room of their own for the first few days, swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, and then let them meet with the dog on a leash.
Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, and keep the litter box and food bowls out of the dog's way.
