Pet of the Week: Jax

Meet Jax! He is the Heart of the Rockies Radio Pets of the Week.

Jax is a 5 year old male Domestic Longhair mix who will steal your heart as soon as you meet him. Jax came to the shelter when a kind samaritan brought him in near Cottonwood Hot Springs. Jax loves to lounge around near his favorite people and catch some rays of sunshine in the afternoon. When not cuddling with his fosters you can find him making quick friends with the big dogs in his foster home. He doesn’t seem to mind the other cats in his home, typically ignoring them as he’d prefer to play with his canine friends.

If you’d like to learn more about Jax or apply to adopt him, head over to ark-valley.org/adopt/cats/.

All adoptable animals receive the following services prior to adoption:

  • Spay or Neuter
  • Age-appropriate boosters
  • De-wormer
  • Vaccines
  • Microchip

Because Jax is the Pet of the Week, his adoption fees are 50% off (Adoption fees vary by age and animal). Visit the Ark Valley Humane Society’s website to learn more.

The Ark Valley Humane Society is open and available by appointment only, make sure to call 719-395-2737 and schedule an appointment before coming to the shelter! If you or someone you know is in need of pet food, we have community pet food available! Just call us to arrange a contactless pick up!
