Story
(Special Adoption Fee) My name is Hunter, and I am a beautiful tabby boy. My estimated date of birth is mid-March 2017. My mom was a feral kitty who lived at a junkyard, but some nice folks helped me escape that life. I am a little bit shy at first, but I love to receive attention which will only make me sweeter. I love belly rubs! I get along great with all my foster siblings. I am ready for my own home now! Hunter has a sponsor, which means he has a special adoption fee. Are you interested in adopting Hunter 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.

Story
(Special Adoption Fee) Mamaria is a long-timer with JCAPL and there is no reason why she should not be adopted. She is estimated to have been born in 2018. She was part of a feral colony, having litter after litter of kittens. JCAPL took them in and found homes for her kittens. Mamaria does her own thing, mostly. She loves canned food and is not an overactive kitty. She loves to hang out in the cat trees. She can also be flirty and likes a gentle belly rub now and then. She gets along great with other cats. Mamaria is a low-effort cat and would fit right into a low-energy household. While Mamaria's kittens have all been adopted, it is now her turn to shine. Please consider giving this beautiful, sweet girl the loving home she deserves. She has a sponsor, which means she has a special adoption fee. Are you interested in adopting Mamaria 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.

Hey there, I'm Papaya, the master explorer of purrfection within my royal abode—the house! Picture this: as you enter my domain, I'll graciously lead you to the most heavenly spots where my fur begs for your touch. Whether it's the velvety sofa in the living room, the toasty rug by the fireplace, or the sun-drenched nook in the bedroom, these are the sacred petting zones I've meticulously chosen for our mutual enjoyment. I'll let you in on a little secret—I take immense pride in selecting these special spots. It's like crafting a treasure map of love where we can journey through the depths of our bond. Together, we'll uncover the enchanting places where your gentle strokes awaken a chorus of purrs and pure bliss. When I'm not guiding our petting escapades, you might find me nestled in one of my cherished hideouts—a luxurious cat tree, a cozy cardboard fortress, or basking in the warm glow of the windowsill. These sanctuaries rejuvenate my spirit for our next petting odyssey. So, if you're in search of a feline companion who will lead you to the wondrous realms of petting pleasure throughout the house, look no further than Papaya, the whimsical connoisseur of petting zones.

Story
Salutations, esteemed human! I am none other than the legendary Mr. Moo, the feline with a name so peculiar, you'll be scratching your head in wonder. Brace yourself for a tale brimming with adventure and mischief! Once a daring participant in a TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) escapade in Smithfield, fate had a different destiny in mind for yours truly. Determined to bid farewell to the great outdoors, I executed a Houdini-worthy escape from my trap, finding refuge with my foster family. Resistance was futile against my irresistible charm, and thus, they willingly became my devoted servants. Mwahaha! When I'm not concocting schemes for world domination, my heart swells with joy at the prospect of snuggling with my human subjects. Oh, did I mention my mastery of meow-speak? Some might label me a chatterbox, but truthfully, I am merely a fur-covered attention seeker, yearning for perpetual adoration and affection. After all, who could resist the dulcet tones of my melodious meows? But here's the twist! It has recently come to my attention that I am a carrier of FIV. Dun, dun, dun! Fear not, mere mortals, for FIV poses but a minor obstacle on my path to greatness. Merely an immune disorder, it spreads solely through deep bites—no ordinary interaction can impede my ascension! With proper vaccination and harmonious cohabitation, I even welcome the addition of fellow feline companions to my illustrious entourage. So, dear human, do you possess the courage to embark upon this grand adventure with me? Beware, for in my presence, laughter, whimsy, and boundless entertainment abound. Prepare yourself for the most epic escapade of your existence, with Mr. Moo leading the charge! Are you prepared to accept the challenge? Let the fur-tastic festivities commence! 🐾🎉
