Jack & Jill Domestic Short Hair Warwick, RI

Hello, my furiends! Please say hello to the lovely bonded kitten duo - Jack and Jill! Jack and Jill are 17 weeks old, and when I asked their foster mama how to describe them - one word - purrfect! Jack (male, black) and Jill (female, tortie) were found outside without their mom and brought to Scruffy Paws. Itty bitty and tiny, off to one of Scruffy's best foster mamas they went - and after several weeks of love and care, Jack and Jill have been packing on the pounds and gearing up to meet their furever family! Quite small for their age but mighty large in personality!

Smart and sassy, these two have excellent litter box manners; dinnertime is their favorite time when Jack performs best, where he is the king of the food bowls - he sure does love to eat; he is a tiny house panther, after all. We suggest feeding them separately so Jill can be the queen of her food bowls! Jack does not enjoy being away from his sister and will cry for her if he can't get to her - and Jill will do the same when she can't find Jack. Two peas in a catnip pod! Jill enjoys knowing what's happening at all times; she is a curious climber who loves exploring and seeking out kitten adventures. And they are pretty computer savvy; if you are typing, they want to help! But with one tap of your finger on the floor, Jack and Jill have been trained to know this means it's kennel time, and the cutest stampede will ensue.

Jack and Jill are full of playful kitten energy! They are wildly entertaining—expect two-hour chases. Tiny, fluffy little mice are no match for their kitten-hunting skills, and once caught, they will run with their "prey."
After all that activity, they will climb into your arms, get really close, fall asleep, and... wait for it...the LOUDEST kitten purrs! We are talking full-grown jungle cat turn up the volume on the TV kitten purrs here! And it's adorable.

They can be skeptical of new visitors but will return to say hello once they know it's safe. Loud noises are not their favorite, especially lawnmowers...so if you are planning on mowing your lawn, remember to shut the window! Jack and Jill will do best in a home with older children. We recommend nail trims every week. We are unsure how they would be in a home with dogs. They are accustomed to being in a large kennel overnight, and it would be best to start them off in a separate room or crate until they are acclimated to their new surroundings.
