Jett is a handsome gentleman with the stunning silver-blue coat and a heart of gold. His journey was tough, and he spent his first few years trying to survive on the streets of Houston. But now? You’d never know it from his sweet, affectionate nature. From the very first day he was safely trapped, Jett showed nothing but love and appreciate for his human rescuers.
When he came into care, Jett was missing several teeth and suffering from painful infections in the ones he had left. After a full dental procedure, he is now happy, healthy, and toothless… and it hasn’t slowed him down one bit! In fact, he feels so much better and is thriving.
Jett is also FIV+, but that simply means he needs to be an indoor-only kitty and receive routine veterinary care, just like any beloved pet. Cats with FIV can live long, wonderful, lives, and Jett is ready to do exactly that with a family of his own.
Since being indoors, Jett’s favorite things are human companionship, cozy laps, and making the sweetest little “biscuits” with his paws. He has the tiniest, squeakiest meow that will melt your heart immediately! He is a very calm kitty and is content in most situations. He loves to explore new rooms and areas carefully, but usually only with the company of his foster mom!
Jett isn’t just looking for a home—he’s looking for his person. If you’re hoping for a devoted shadow, a warm lap companion, and a gentle soul who will adore you every single day, Jett is your guy. All he needs now is a safe, loving home to write the rest of his story. 💙

Jett is a brave little guy, and will come right up to his humans for attention when he sees them. It’s very difficult to determine his age due to the wear and tear to his teeth from his early years, but we are estimating somewhere between 3-5 years of age (I know, that’s a really big range, but it’s the closest we can get!) Because of the color and texture of his coat, we believe he is a “street special” version of a Russian Blue — he’s definitely got the genes but they’re mixed!
While he would be happy as can be in any loving home, we think Jett would really thrive with someone in a semi-calm household looking for a new best friend and lap warmer. He doesn’t really understand toys (yet!!) but he sure does understand love.
Jett has lived in a colony with many other kitties his entire life, so he should do just fine with a buddy. Since FIV is spread through deep bite wounds, our toothless and friendly little man will not pose a risk to other kitties. He is neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and in great health overall. He does a great job of keeping his litterbox tidy and has perfect manners in the house.

ABOUT OUR ADOPTION FEES: Our adoption fees include spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping, and transportation costs. Also, when you adopt from ROSES Rescues, you’re doing more than giving your new family member a home. Each adoption fee sponsors a cat on the streets of Houston to get fixed, helping end the cycle of overpopulation in a rough environment. We thank you so much for your contribution to our efforts!
