My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Playful, Curious, Affectionate

Meet Jessie—a dilute tortoiseshell beauty with a soft coat, a twitchy tail, and a big personality wrapped up in four adorable paws. She’s an animated little shadow who loves to follow her humans from room to room, always curious about what you’re up to. If you offer her your hand, she’ll happily lift her head for scritches, purring quietly as if to say, “Yes, human, you may adore me now.”

Jessie is a champion toy hunter—string, straps, catnip mice, wand toys—you name it, she’ll stalk it. Her play sessions are full of energy, but she also knows how to wind down and curl up next to you (or on you) for some calm companionship. She’s even been known to invite her humans to join her for mealtimes, chirping to make sure you know dinner is ready… for her.

While Jessie is unfazed by other cats, her reaction to dogs and kids is still a mystery. Because she startles at loud noises and sudden movements, she’d likely prefer a quieter home, though she could be happy with another gentle cat or possibly a patient dog.
With her stunning coat, expressive tail, and enthusiastic “biscuit-making” skills, Jessie will bring beauty, warmth, and a touch of silliness to your home. If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate cat who will be both your entertainment and your snuggle buddy, Jessie might just be your perfect match.

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.

For further information or to meet Jessie, please email adopt@austinpetsalive.org.
