I have 2 siblings and I love to play with dogs and cats and, especially, humans. Needs to be adopted with Elvis Presley. *** To apply to adopt one of our animals, please go to our website, http://www.cjpaws.org and visit the Adoptions page. *** Pets can be viewed by appointment only and an approved application is required to make an appointment to meet one of our animals.

Story
Abbey is shy in new environments and takes some time to get comfortable, but once she knows she can trust you she is the sweetest companion! Abbey is not demanding of attention and is a rather "low maintenance" kind of kitty. When she't not enjoying a nap in a sunny window, she is happy just being near the people she loves. Abbey is a rather petite kitty (her tiny feet are so adorable!) and easily feels threatened by other cats with strong personalities, so she will do best as an only kitty or in a home with other gentle pets with shy personalities. *** To apply to adopt one of our animals, please go to our website, http://www.cjpaws.org and visit the Adoptions page. *** Pets can be viewed by appointment only and an approved application is required to make an appointment to meet one of our animals.

Story
Named after the cat in Breakfast at Tiffany's, Cat is 10 years old and 11 lbs. He's healthy, neutered, and up-to-date on shots. I adopted Cat at 12 weeks old from St. Francis Society. His foster found him under her porch, took him in and bottle-fed him until he was old enough to be adopted. Cat thrives on routine. He would do best in a home where he's the only pet and can have all the attention he needs. He has never been around kids before, so a home with small children might not be the best fit for him. Facts About Cat: - Food-motivated, always excited for meal times. - Loves to talk and will hold a conversation with you. - Does not like to be held or handled for too long, but he will follow you around, hang out with you, and let you know when he wants to be pet. He loves having his chin scratched! - Indoor-only cat, but loves going out on a screened-in patio! - Not a fan of the car or vet. - Loves to play, carry his toys around, and show off his "catch!" Cat Nikko's mother had to move the landlord would not allow him with her, and mom sadly surrendered him to CJPaws. Cat Nikko takes a little bit to warm up to people but when he does, he is friendly and likes being petted and played with. He loves his stuffed toys and dangling toys and loves to be brushed. He needs space at first and if people move too quickly with him, he will run and hide. Cat Nikko has only lived indoors and has never been around wildlife or dogs. He has lived with other cats and has been the more dominate one in the home with the other cats. He has never been around children and it is unknown how he reacts to them but is good with adults. When Cat Nikko goes to the vet, he has needed to be sedated before because of his anxiety when being handled for exams. Cat Nikko enjoys being scratched under the chin and hanging out on the screened-in porch to nature watch. He loves fabric toys and cardboard scratchers. *** To apply to adopt one of our animals, please go to our website, http://www.cjpaws.org and visit the Adoptions page. *** Pets can be viewed by appointment only and an approved application is required to make an appointment to meet one of our animals.

**Fill out the application here: http://www.cjpaws.org Henry has SEVERAL videos, please watch them all -- he has been looking for a home for over a year and desperately needs someone to love him! He is MOSTLY blind, but he can see the difference between light and dark, and he can see SOME movement. He's afraid of other cats, dogs, kids. Needs calm home with someone who will be home. No special accommodations need to be made for his vision.

He's had a rough life. He lived on the streets for about the first 5 years and then he was adopted by a nice older man who brought him inside. He was a great kitty and loved his new human daddy, but his new kitty sister was REALLY MEAN and used to beat him up a lot. Then his new daddy passed away and he ended up at CJPaws. Right now he's resting comfortably in his foster home but he really wants a home of his own. He'd LOVE to have kitty siblings, they're his very favorite thing ever!! But he also loves hands that pet him. Henry isn't a lap cat, he's independent but he does love pets. Especially around food time. He's a picky eater, though, and only likes a certain brand of cat food, so he needs someone who will cater to his needs! If you're interested in adopting Henry, please fill out our application here: http://www.cjpaws.org/ldtapp/ His adoption fee is $60 and he comes neutered, fully vaccinated, healthy, and flea-free! *** To apply to adopt one of our animals, please go to our website, http://www.cjpaws.org and visit the Adoptions page. *** Pets can be viewed by appointment only and an approved application is required to make an appointment to meet one of our animals.

Hi I'm gidget but I respond more to Cali as that was my former humans nickname for me before she died. I miss her very much but still have so much more love to give as I'm only around 7 years old.
