Story
Pixie was found outside my gym underweight and in need of a home. She is estimated to be between 8-11 months old, and is a playful/sweet kitty. I took her into my house, but I'm unable to keep her because I'm in the military with 2 cats of my own. I'm looking for a nice family able to provide love and care to a kitty with minor allergies. She is allergic to fleas and some food. She is treated monthly for fleas to keep them away. Pixie is on a simple food diet that is going well and hasn't had an allergic reaction in 3 weeks. She doesn't let her allergies get her down. She is high-energy and loves to run all over the house.

Story
Dolly is 6 months old according to the vet. Been tested for FIV and FLV and was negative. Treated successfully for ear mites and worms. She has been spayed. Our cat Smokey will not accept Dolly. She stopped eating and drinking and we rushed her to the vet, who said the stress of Dolly being introduced was too much for her, so we are looking for a loving home for Dolly. She was a stray when we took her in. She is extremely sweet and loving, even with people she just met. Loves to cuddle and sleep in bed with you! Purrs and chirps and looks at you with the sweetest baby face! We fell in love, but our Smokey can't accept her. Dolly uses the litter box with no problem and is a real doll baby!

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 that 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! 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 over active 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.

Story
Greetings, hoomans! I'm the one and only Creamsicle!  Listen, I've got a confession to make – I may seem all sweet and sophisticated, but I've got a touch of shyness in my paws!  It's just that life brought me to Bailey's Human Rescue, and I've been waiting for my purrfect family to come and whisk me away to a furrever home for more than THREE WHOLE YEARS! Can you believe it?  Now, don't be fooled by my "serious cat" vibes. I've had my fair share of epic adventures, battling pesky medical stuff like a true superhero!  But thanks to those amazing rescue peeps, I emerged victorious and stronger than ever!  So, here's the deal – when we first meet, you might think I'm a little shy, like a kitten playing hide-and-seek. But once I warm up to you, I'll be a purring machine, giving you ALL the affection you can handle! You see, I'm the kind of kitty who enjoys lazing around with you, binge-watching cat videos on the interwebs – I'm a connoisseur of that stuff!  Now, here's the scoop – I need someone with the patience of a saint and enough love to share with a furry little creature like me. Trust me, it'll be worth it! I'll keep you entertained with my antics, turning your life into a never-ending comedy show!  If you're up for the challenge and you think we could be the puuuurfect match, let's get together and make some magic happen!  Help a cool cat like me out, and share this post with all your buddies! Let them know that I'm looking for a silly, fun-loving family to call my own. Let's do this, furrever homes, here I come!  https://www.baileyshumanrescue.org/former-community-cat

Introducing Alvy, the purr-fect participant in our TNVR extravaganza! Brace yourself for a sprinkle of quirkiness as Alvy adjusts to her new life by your side. Keep your chuckles handy, as her left ear rocks a trendy tip, a telltale sign of her TNVR VIP status—yep, she's been spayed and vaccinated like a true rockstar! That eartip? It's not just a quirky accessory; it's a shining badge of honor for our community cats, saving lives left and right. In a wild twist of fate, Alvy narrowly escaped the claws of doom from another organization, but we swooped in to tame her and offer her a chance at adoption. We couldn't resist the temptation to turn her story into a hilarious adventure. So buckle up and get ready for the wacky escapades of Alvy, the feline sensation who went from almost-euthanasia to your side-splittingly silly companion!https://www.baileyshumanrescue.org/former-community-cat

Hey there, it's Apricot, the "Mysteriously Timid Toothless Wonder" reporting for duty! Yep, you heard it right. I may be a tad shy, but I'm rocking it like a pro! Life threw me a curveball by snatching away most of my teeth due to an infection, but hey, that doesn't dim my unique charm one bit! I'm not your typical clingy "lap cat" – nuh-uh, not me! I march to the beat of my own drum, and I'll accept your affections on my own terms. Just give me a little space, let me warm up to you, and voila! You'll witness the magic unfold! Sure, I might not snuggle up on your lap, but I'll be there by your side, a silent observer with a heart full of love and curiosity. I'm all about the simple pleasures in life – soaking up the sun, lounging in cozy spots, and gracefully navigating the room with my toothless grin stealing hearts left and right! Now, here's the scoop – I'm on the hunt for someone who gets me, someone who respects my quirks and boundaries. In return, I'll be your steadfast and charming companion, the mysterious cat whose purrs will leave you enchanted. Spread the word, pals! Let everyone know that Apricot, the "Mysteriously Timid Toothless Wonder," is on the lookout for the perfect match. Let's embark on this magical journey together and spread the love far and wide!
