Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Austin, Texas

Jalapeno Pepper
Blue boy with the soul of a puppy.

Jalapeno Pepper is the kind of cat who never quite got the memo that he's supposed to act like a cat.

He greets people like old friends, follows you around with endless curiosity, and firmly believes that personal space is optional-especially when you're scooping the litter box, which he considers the perfect time to climb directly onto your back.

Fearless, playful, and endlessly affectionate, Jalapeno has a huge personality packed into one handsome blue coat. He adores children, loves other kittens, and has the sweetest habit of grooming his feline friends like their self-appointed big brother.

He's confident, social, and rarely startled by much of anything-basically the type of cat who walks into every room assuming he already owns it.

And yes, in true orange-cat-energy fashion despite being gray, he is extremely food motivated and will absolutely attempt to sample whatever is on your plate if given the opportunity.

If you're looking for a kitten with dog-like loyalty, endless entertainment value, and absolutely zero respect for personal boundaries, Jalapeno Pepper may be your perfect match.
