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. We review applications in the order they are received. Completed applications can be sent via email to adopt@jcapl.org , faxed to 919-300-5524 or delivered in person by visiting us at one of our adoption events on Saturdays at PetSmart in Garner (White Oak Shopping Center).

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. 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.

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

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!

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
Found as a young struggling mom during a large scale Trap/Neuter/Return effort, we saw something in her that just wasn’t feral! Although she can still be shy at times, this pretty girl with the unusual mustache (is that an oxymoron?) and the silky coat has become quite a little house cat! She is still learning the ropes and will require someone who is patient and loving, but knowing you are giving her a home and enjoying the love she gives in return will be your reward.  For more information and to complete an online application, please visit www.pawprintsrescue.org July 22, 2024, 6:59 pm

Story
Truly an Angel, this sweet kitty lived outside for several years having several litters of kittens. Thankfully an older gentleman provided food for the homeless kitties dumped on his property. He contacted Paw Prints and Angel came to us with her little “mini me” kittens. An excellent momma, she’s looking for her happily ever after home. Angel had dental surgery to remove several bad teeth, resulting in her little pink tongue occasionally sticking out. Angel is an affectionate, gentle and calm companion to her foster home. She will thrive in her own home where she doesn’t need to share the love and attention she deserves.   For more information and to complete an online application, please visit www.pawprintsrescue.org July 22, 2024, 6:59 pm

It's my cat tv. I am good with other kitties and would do well in a home with another kitty.  For more information and to complete an online application, please visit www.pawprintsrescue.org July 22, 2024, 6:59 pm

Story
Ruby is a spunky ball of cuteness with her black mask and nose. She loves to leap and play with wand toys—really, any toys except catnip bubbles. Those she's not too sure about! Ruby carries toy mice in her mouth and brings them back to her "den," aka covered bed. She loves her brother Max to sleep, groom and play with! Being adopted with Max would be ideal, but she'd do well with another friendly kitty to play with, or a family able to give her lots of attention.  For more information and to complete an online application, please visit www.pawprintsrescue.org July 22, 2024, 6:59 pm
