Jackfruit 29 - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Austin, Texas

Jackfruit (aka Cap'n Jack) is the ringleader of his merry little band of two. He and his brother Jambalaya are besties. He's the first to check out a new situation and usually wins wrestling matches with Jambalaya. They love to wrestle, zoom around together, and play with their foster's kids. Once they've tired themselves out, they'll curl up in your lap together for a snooze.


Jackfruit is just as much of a lover as he is a zoomer. He loves to climb all the way up to your shoulder to check in on you and give you sweet nose kisses. He's a purr machine who has already mastered the art of the slow-blink kitty kiss.

Jackfruit would love to bring his brother Jambalaya along to his forever home. Two kittens are always better than one because they can keep each other entertained, burn off their high energy on each other, and teach each other not to be too rough when playing.

If you're looking for a fun new crew, contact us today to arrange a meet-and-greet!

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
