Story
Chase’s mom was still a kitten herself and the babies were taking a toll on her. He and his siblings were sent to foster when they were pretty young so mom could be saved. Chase is very people oriented, very playful, and a general sweetie. He gets along with other cats very well and would love to find a home with a sibling but would be fine on his own.

Story
My name is “Bella” and I am a precious and loving little lady! I have a gentle and quiet spirit about me, but I come running as soon as I see you! I love to be rubbed and I like to snuggle with you to take my naps. I also love to talk to you when we are hanging out together. I may do better as a single cat because I like all of the attention for myself. I tend to hiss at others sometimes. I'm looking for a forever home. Could that be with you?

Story
My name is Sterling. My foster mom calls me baby girl and sweetie. I am a soft, shy girl. I do love to be petted and will purr when you pet me, but I am shy about cuddling with you. I need time to trust. I'm used to being around my sisters and foster cats, and I will cuddle with them. I also love to play. There are some fun stuffy toys in the house, and a toy with balls to chase in a circle. If my sisters or other fosters don't want to play, I'll play with these. My foster mom has stuffy toys on a stick, and I chase them. I'm ready to go to my furever home and be your baby girl—come meet me! ***PLEASE NOTE*** Are you interested in adopting this cat or another JCAPL pet you have seen?

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. ***PLEASE NOTE*** Are you interested in adopting this or another JCAPL pet you have seen?

Story
Bovary was born in March 2024. She is being sponsored by an anonymous donor to cover a portion of her adoption fee to help her find her forever home. 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! Bovary is a great kitty looking for her forever family ***PLEASE NOTE*** Are you interested in adopting this or another JCAPL pet you have seen?
