Jack-Daw

Meet Jack-Daw, a nine-week-old bundle of chaos, comedy and endless enthusiasm.

Named after the bird and born to mum Raven, Jack-Daw may have a sophisticated name, but that’s where the sophistication ends. This little lad approaches life at full speed, with boundless curiosity and an impressive talent for turning absolutely anything into a toy.

Jack-Daw is the definition of a busy kitten. If something moves, rattles, rolls, swings, rustles or simply exists, he needs to investigate it immediately. His days are filled with zoomies, games, wrestling matches and finding creative ways to entertain himself and everyone around him.

Because he is such a social and playful youngster, Jack-Daw would love a home with another friendly cat or a cat-savvy dog who enjoys playing. He thrives on interaction and would benefit from having a companion to share his adventures with.

Despite his energetic nature, Jack-Daw is also a sweet and affectionate boy. He enjoys cuddles and being handled, although his attention span can be somewhat limited when there are important kitten matters requiring his immediate attention. A quick cuddle is lovely, but investigating the mysterious movement of a curtain or a dust particle often wins.

Jack-Daw has lived with young children and could happily live with sensible children aged two and over who understand that excited kittens sometimes get a little carried away during playtime.

If you’re looking for a calm, quiet cat who spends most of the day asleep, Jack-Daw probably isn’t your perfect match. If you’re looking for a hilarious, confident and affectionate kitten who will keep you smiling every day and ensure life is never dull, Jack-Daw could be exactly who you’re looking for.

As Jack-Daw is still very young, his neutering and microchipping are included as part of our kitten package.

Jack-Daw could also be adopted alongside one of our other available kittens. If you are interested in homing two kittens together, please mention the other kitten’s name within your application form.

We’re a foster-based charity, so each cat lives in a home environment before adoption. This helps us see how they cope with things like children, other cats, and dogs.

Because we don’t always know a cat’s full history (especially if they were a stray), our guidance is based on what we’ve observed in foster care. For example:

  • If a cat has lived happily with children, we’ll note they’re suitable for family homes.

  • If a cat is very timid and hasn’t been around children, we may suggest an adult-only home.

  • The same applies for cats and dogs — suitability depends on their behaviour and what we’ve seen first-hand.

As a foster-based rescue, when one cat is adopted their space is quickly filled by another in need. If a cat is adopted into an unsuitable home and has to return, it unsettles them and creates real challenges with our limited foster spaces.

We also believe that, where possible, cats should have safe access to the outdoors. Unless a cat is specifically listed as indoor-only, outdoor access is a requirement for adoption.

Our priority is always to match each cat with the home where they’ll feel safe, settled, and happy.
