Story
(Cole has been in foster care with JCAPL since May 2023. He is being sponsored by an anonymous donor to cover a portion of his adoption fee to help him find his forever home). Cole is a beautiful black kitty. He was found at his foster mom's workplace with his sister. He loves his cat tree, and he loves canned food. He likes attention but does not always seek it. He should become more affectionate in a home of his own. Cole gets along with other cats after a patient introduction. He is energetic, sweet, and ready for his forever person. He will definitely blossom in a home of his own. Cole has a sponsor, which means he has a reduced adoption fee. Are you interested in adopting Cole or another JCAPL pet you have seen? You'll need to start by completing an adoption application, available online at our website: www.jcapl.org. There is no obligation to adopt by completing an application, however, we do recommend submitting an application as soon as you find an animal you are interested in. We review applications in the order they are received. Completed applications can be sent via email to adopt@jcapl.org , faxed to 919-300-5524 or delivered in person by visiting us at one of our adoption events on Saturdays at PetSmart in Garner (White Oak Shopping Center). We will contact you as soon as possible once we receive your application. Thanks for thinking adoption!

Story
Sylvie is a smaller girl. She was born in October 2023. She was a very skittish kitten, and her foster mom kept her a little longer to work on bringing Sylvie out to shine. She is still a bit shy and can get startled easily. She likes love on her terms. She does not like to be pursued, but she will come for love when she is ready. She jumps up on the bed every morning for pets. She loves other cats and likes her foster mom's dog. She is very playful and loves toy mice. She would probably be best with no young children and a kitty sibling or two to play with. She will take some adjustment time, but she is sure to blossom once she is comfortable in a home of her own.

Story
Oy, I’m Roy, and I’m enjoying the luxurious indoor life. Unlike my namesake (Roy Kent from Ted Lasso!), I am outgoing and friendly. You know we orange kittens are crazily cute. I have tons of kitten energy and love to play. I hope you have lots of toys because I’m a bit of a toy hog! A companion to wrestle with would be great, too! Once I’m all tuckered out and ready to wind down, I do the cutest thing – suck on the tip of my tail like a pacifier! I would love a warm lap where I can curl up, purr, and suck on my tail-“paci” after a long play session. Are you interested in adopting this kitten or another JCAPL pet you have seen?

Story
Bovary was born in March 2024. She is a very social and curious girl. She gets along with her foster siblings, but she would probably need introduction time with a new cat to keep her stress levels low. She is active and playful and loves canned food!

Story
This petite girl is one of a kind. She was outside and unwell until she found a kind stranger to help her (DOB ~6/1/25). He got her well and brought her to JCAPL. He knew she would go to a loving furever home. Rosie has 4 foster brothers and keeps up with them, often starting the shenanigans (you can see a large dog claw in her resting photos). Nothing stops her from romping and playing. She also races them to food and digs right in. The dogs in the house don't scare her in the least. She just lets them be dogs. And she doesn't forget her humans. When she's ready to snuggle, she'll jump on your lap, make some biscuits, and then nap with you. She also sits and watches TV. Some nights she'll sleep right next to you. Watch your heart, because she will steal it in an instant. She's a little girl with a huge spirit. ***PLEASE NOTE*** Are you interested in adopting this cat or another JCAPL pet you have seen?
