My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

It's hard to get a picture of Jolene, because she always wants to be in your lap! This beautiful girl has been through a lot, but she is the sweetest girl. She is extremely affectionate and loves interactive play or sitting contented in a lap, purring and giving little kisses. She was rescued by a good Samaritan after she had been hit by a car; her pelvis was crushed, and her tail had to be amputated, but she has healed well and is ready to find her forever home. The only remaining issue from the accident is that her pelvis is very narrow, such that she needs her diet and stools monitored to make sure her stools are soft and easy to pass; it is very difficult (likely impossible) for her to pass large, hard stools. She seems to do best with cheaper, less digestible food (NOT grain free), both canned and dry, and a once-daily dose of Miralax and Lactulose. She can't jump any higher than a chair, and even that is difficult for her.

Jolene will do well with gentle dogs and careful children. We would like her to be adopted to a home in the Lynchburg area so that her current foster (a veterinarian) can continue to monitor her condition and provide any care necessary. 

Jolene is also FIV positive, which means she has Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. Simply put, she has a weakened immune system. FIV is technically contagious to other cats but is only transmitted through deep bite wounds, so as long as cats aren't fighting, there is no risk of transmission. FIV+ cats can live normal, healthy lives. Read more about FIV here: https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/feline-immunodeficiency-virus-infection

Jolene's adoption fee is $75. 





Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.


Interested in this animal? The first step is an application, which can be completed at www.cvrrescue.org/adoption-applications/.

The adoption fee helps cover a portion of the care provided for our animals, including spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm testing for dogs, FeLV/FIV combo testing for cats, deworming, age-appropriate vaccines (including rabies vaccine), and any medical care received while in our care. All cats and dogs are on flea/tick and parasite prevention for the duration of foster care.

Notes about puppies: Adopters can expect a new puppy to have accidents, chew things they shouldn't, and have other normal, energetic puppy issues until they are trained, including jumping, mouthing, and general youthful naughtiness. If you experience puppy issues, please feel free to contact us; we’re happy to offer guidance. Also, if a puppy is a mixed breed, we cannot guarantee an adult weight. If your residence has weight restrictions or if you’re looking for a specific adult weight, we don't recommend applying for a mixed-breed puppy.

We also offer rehoming services for pets currently owned by individuals. In these cases, we list the animal as a courtesy to the owner, and the animal is not currently in the care of CVRR, such that we can make no representation or guarantee of the animal’s behavior, demeanor, or health assessment. All information listed for a courtesy-posted animal is provided by the current owner and should be verified by any potential adopter.

CVRR is a nonprofit organization. We have no paid staff, and all applications are reviewed and processed by our volunteers. Please be patient and understand that it may take 7-14 days to process your application, check your references, and gather follow-up info. You can expedite the process by providing accurate phone numbers and email addresses for your vet and landlord references, and by answering each question fully. Once your application is approved, we will schedule a meet-and-greet to see if the animal picks you, too. If it seems the adoption will be a good match for all, we will collect the adoption fee and complete the adoption contract.

CVRR is a NO KILL rescue organization, and we have a LIFETIME COMMITMENT to all of our animals. If for any reason the adoption does not work out, the animal must be returned to CVRR. We will reevaluate the animal and choose a new home based on the best fit for it.

Additional adoption info

We value a comprehensive adoption process that includes a strong focus on matching the right animal with the right owner to minimize future struggles within the family. All animals in our care receive recommended (age-appropriate) vaccinations and tests, are given monthly parasite prevention, and are spayed/neutered and microchipped.

We have no facility; all our animals live as temporary family members in foster homes. We do have public cat adoption cages are partnering businesses and veterinary offices, such as Petsense (Madison Heights), Forest Pet Care (Forest), Seven Hills Animal Hospital (Forest), Animal Emergency and Critical Care (Lynchburg), Lake Forest Animal Hospital (Forest), and Diamond Hill Animal Hospital (Lynchburg).

We also hold public adoption events periodically throughout the year.
