Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Meet Raven & Jack Fruit — Not littermates, but soulmates.

Raven (2 years old) is a sleek, gorgeous little panther with the prettiest, most knowing eyes. Jack Fruit (1 year old) is a handsome tabby with bold, beautiful stripes. Their bond was formed through shared hardship, and it’s one we are determined to protect.

We both came from a hoarding situation, so patience will be key as we settle into a new home. Change can feel overwhelming at first, but with time, love, and consistency, we blossom.

Raven here — I’m the bold one. The brave explorer. The protector of my sweet Jack Fruit. I love climbing a tall cat tree (bonus points if it’s by a window — I will judge your placement choices). I’m a free spirit who shows affection by weaving around your legs and delivering excellent head bops. I like to know what’s going on, and I take my big-sister duties seriously.

And then there’s me, Jack Fruit. Honestly, my name could’ve been Turtle. I take my time. I process. I may hide in or under cat beds at first — sometimes even under a blankie on the couch — so please check carefully before you sit down. We really don’t want to have to rename me Smash Potato.

But when I feel safe? I am incredibly affectionate. I’ll join you on the couch, accept cuddles, and quietly soak up your love. I just need someone who understands that trust takes time — and that I’m worth every bit of patience.

We are good with other cats and calm dogs, but we’d prefer a home without young children (older, respectful kids would be okay). Most importantly, we need to stay together. We’ve overcome so much by being each other’s comfort and courage. Raven gives me confidence. I give her devotion. Together, we balance beautifully.

If you have a calm home, a sunny window with a cat tree, and a heart big enough for two deeply bonded souls, we’re ready to start our next chapter — together.

Raven & Jack Fruit are currently at our PetSmart location on Telegraph. If you are interested in meeting him, please send a message here, or email adopt@ahsem.org.
