More about One-Eyed Jack
One-Eyed Jack came into the care of the SPCA in April 2026 after a kind member of the public found him suffering from a severe eye injury. Upon veterinary assessment, his left eye was found to be non-viable, likely due to previous trauma or a longstanding infection. He also received treatment for an ear infection during his recovery.
Today, Jack has made a wonderful recovery and has adapted remarkably well to life with one eye. He is now ready to begin a new chapter with a family to call his own.
Personality
One-Eyed Jack is a gentle, resilient soul who enjoys human companionship once he feels safe. While he may be a little cautious when meeting new people, patience, kindness, and gentle reassurance quickly bring out his affectionate personality.
He is looking for a family who will see beyond his appearance and appreciate him for the wonderful cat he truly is. In return, Jack will reward his family with quiet companionship, unwavering loyalty, and plenty of love.
Daily Life
Jack would thrive in a calm indoor home with a predictable routine and a family who can provide him with a peaceful environment. As a senior cat, he enjoys a slower pace of life and would love a comfortable home where he can spend his golden years feeling safe and loved.
Despite having only one eye, Jack navigates his surroundings confidently and enjoys life just like any other cat.
Behaviour
Comfort with handling: Enjoys gentle handling and patient reassurance.
Around strangers: May be slightly reserved initially but settles well with a calm and patient approach.
Progress: Jack has recovered well from surgery, adapted confidently to having one eye, and continues to do well in SPCA's care.
Medical History
Jack previously suffered from a severe injury to his left eye, which required surgical removal to ensure his long-term comfort and wellbeing. He was also treated for an ear infection, which has since fully resolved.
Today, Jack is medically well and enjoys an excellent quality of life. Having only one eye does not affect his mobility or ability to carry out his normal daily activities.
Please note that our cats are not routinely tested for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) or FeLV (Feline Leukaemia Virus) unless there is a medical indication to do so.
Ideal Home
Jack is looking for a loving indoor home where he can enjoy a stable routine and spend his senior years surrounded by care and affection. He would be best suited to adopters who understand that some cats may need a little time to settle in and who will appreciate the gentle, loving companion he has become.
Like all newly adopted cats, Jack should initially be given a quiet room equipped with food, water, a litter tray, comfortable bedding, and hiding places, allowing him to settle in before gradually exploring the rest of the home.
Other Adoption Requirements
Home Safety: To ensure Jack's safety, adopters will be required to provide verification of their cat-proof meshing or window/grille measurements before the adoption can be finalised.
Cat Licensing: All adopters are required to complete the Responsible Pet Ownership e-learning course and license their cat at the point of adoption via: https://go.gov.sg/petownershipcourse
Why Cat-Proof Meshing Matters
Cats are naturally curious and agile, but contrary to popular belief, they do not always land safely on their feet. Falls from windows or balconies can result in severe injuries or even be fatal. Installing secure cat-proof meshing or grilles on all windows, balconies, and other potential escape points is essential to keeping your cat safe.

Looking for His Forever Home
One-Eyed Jack is simply looking for a second chance. He deserves a family who will see beyond the loss of his eye and recognise the gentle, affectionate companion he truly is. Having overcome so much, Jack is ready to spend his golden years in a safe and loving home where he can continue to thrive.
