This could be you and Jax, but Jax is still waitin This could be you and Jax, but Jax is still waiting to find his forever family! 🥺💕🐱

Jax adores attention and cuddles so much that he’ll happily jump onto your shoulders and snuggle up around your neck, your very own furry scarf. 🧣❤️ He’s also a devoted lap cat and will happily settle in your lap for snuggles whenever you sit down. Always ready for playtime, he’s full of energy and loves chasing toys, especially when treats are involved, since he’s very treat motivated. Jax gets along well with both cats and dogs, making him a social and adaptable companion. He’s sure to bring endless joy and snuggles to his forever home. 😻

Jax qualifies for Abandoned Pet Rescue’s Medical Adoption Program, which means all of his veterinary care will be provided at Abandoned Pet Rescue for the rest of his life. ❣️ He takes a pill twice a day to help manage his stomatitis. He makes it very easy to give him his medication since he’s loves his treats! 😸🍣

If you are interested in adopting Jax please fill out an adoption application at abandonedpetrescue.org! 🩵🩷

Jax is vaccinated, neutered, microchipped and ready for adoption at Abandoned Pet Rescue – a no-kill shelter in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 🌴🐾
