Joey, domestic shorthair

Joey is a male domestic shorthair cat being kept at Austin Pets Alive!

He's already been neutered.

From Joey's current caretaker:

The only thing cuter than a wide-eyed kitten is a wide-eyed cat who is still the size of a kitten. Joey is still not quite 3 pounds, and may not grow much more, but he sure doesn't let this issue get him down. He's such a happy boy. He gets along great with the cats and the older dog in his foster home. He enjoys the occasional run-and-romp session with them, but doesn't have the usual kitten zoomies and crazies. He'd rather conserve his energy for following you around, especially if he can ride around on your shoulder for a great birds-eye view.

Jill, domestic shorthair

Jill is a lovable female domestic shorthair cat being cared for at Austin Pets Alive!

She's already been spayed.

Jill's current caretakers say:

Friendly, sleek, loving Jill is a lover and snuggler. She may be a little timid at first, but once she's accepted you as her human (or one of her humans), there is no such thing as too many pets. Sitting down? Expect lap snuggles. Standing up? Here comes Jill with leg rubs. And if you're petting her on the couch, her cat tree or the floor, she becomes a wiggly ball of cat obsessed with getting the most possible pets out of the situation before she settles in.

Jack, domestic shorthair

Jack is an adorable male domestic shorthair cat in the care of Austin Pets Alive!

He's already been neutered.

Here's what Jack's friends at Austin Pets Alive! think of him:

Wise, observant, chatty Jack is an adorable, low-key older gentleman that appreciates having his humans nearby. He prefers side snuggles to true lap snuggles, tolerates being picked up, and absolutely adores head scratches. Give Jack a place to perch with a great view of the room, and even better, a bird-watching window, and he'll be occupied for hours. While he's not a typical lap cat, he clearly loves his people companions and would appreciate a home where he can hang out next to them in the evenings.
