Jackson Domestic Short Hair & Domestic Long Hair Mix Warwick, RI

Hello, my furiends! I recently had a chance to cat-chat with Scruffy's latest residents - the kitty-pop trio of JDM - Jackson, Damon, and Millie. You may have heard some of their covers - "Stray Cat Strut"...No?...how about "The Love Cats" by The Cure? I am partial to their caterrific rendition of "Black Cat" by Janet Cat-son. Life on the road has been hard for these kitties, and one of Scruffy's best trappers rescued them from a life of fleas and ticks, multiple pregnancies, and catfights. Now, they enjoy their time hanging with their sheltermates, meowing and playing for small human audiences while they wait for that special human to adopt them.

These sweet and silly kitties are 1 year old. They may have a bit of stage fright initially, but give them some time to acclimate to their new surroundings. And once they do - get the kitty party started! Damon - the lead male kitty - is the most outgoing. He has the sleekest all-black coat and rockstar ear tufts. He can be a bit "extra" with his affections and give little love nibbles, so we recommend a home with older, respectful children. Jackson, (all-black nose bridge) backup male meowist, has wild white whiskers and that mysterious rockstar gaze. Jackson and Damon are usually together - probably writing their next hit song or plotting which toy to play with. Beautiful Millie has that luxurious long tuxedo coat and sweet melodic meow. Together, these three love to play and explore. Loud noises and quick movements can sometimes make them skittish but give them time to adjust. Being picked is not their favorite, but they will tolerate it. They get along with other cats, but we are unsure how they will be in a home with dogs. They can be adopted as a pair or individually, but another friendly cat must be in the home. The adoption fee for each kitten is $200.
