Short answer

Yes, a tiny taste of ripe jackfruit flesh is safe for a kitten. The soft, ripe fruit in a very small piece is fine, but avoid any seeds. Because kittens are small, even safe foods can cause an upset stomach if they eat too much. Offer just a tiny bit, watch for any vomiting or diarrhea, and call your own vet if anything seems off.
