About T.A.R.A. | Adopt | Volunteer | Donate

Handsome Jack had been living on the streets for a few years when he finally decided to let himself be caught and brought in by his caretaker. He's a sweet, laid-back cat with a lot of love to give a family. He's become quite the lap cat, and makes the cutest little sounds when you brush him, one of his favorite activities. Handsome Jack doesn't seem to mind other cats but we haven't seen him around dogs.

Handsome Jack has feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). FIV cannot be transmitted to people or dogs, and is not easily transmitted between housecats. FIV is most often transmitted through deep bite wounds between unneutered males defending their territory. Cats with FIV can live long, healthy, happy lives. Health precautions for FIV+ cats includes ensuring that they receive annual vet visits and vaccinations, keeping them indoors, providing a low-stress environment, and feeding high-quality food.

Adoption Fee: $65

TARA's adoption fee includes: spay/neuter, age-appropriate vaccinations, microchip, FIV/FeLV Combo test, and deworming. A two-week trial is included as part of the adoption.

Because we do not know the background of many of our cats, we cannot guarantee exact age or breed.

Adoption centers may not have a volunteer present to open the cat enclosures, and we have foster homes located throughout the KC metro area. Please fill out an application if you'd like to meet this cat.

Interested in this pet? Please fill out a non-binding application. Our goal is to find life-long matches between animals and families, and the application provides us with a lot of information to help us help you find that match!
