Story
Jack is blind, but don’t let that fool you! He has extraordinary hearing and can navigate the house with ease. He knows the layout of the home and garage like the back of his paw and comes when called or when fingers are snapped. He is a 6 year old tabby who is gentle and sweet. Jack is incredibly loving and enjoys being around his humans, cat friends, and dog friend. He even loves to be taken on walks with his harness and leash! He’s independent but also loves the occasional cuddle. He was left with me by an ex but I already have 4 cats of my own. Hoping he can find his purrfect forever family!

Story
I found Ophelia as a 5 week old Kitten living under a homeless hut in the woods of Atlanta. There was a large litter or litters of kittens in the area they were trying to find homes for. She loved steak and used her litter box right away! She can be sweet and loving but can also be extremely sassy. Pet her wrong and she will swipe you. She has a very mischievous side. She is a big fatty girl and loves her food and treats. You must give her treats every day. She has been bonded to our dog and we joke that he is the only being on earth that she loves. Sadly, he is very old with dementia. She absolutely loves going on our balcony. She’s not fully outdoors but she goes on our screened in balcony everyday. I think she could do well as indoor/outdoor. She will bring lots of personality and entertainment to your home.

Story
Lois was born 5/25/14, weighs 9.4 lbs, and is healthy. Last vet appointment was 12/29/25, and her teeth, heart, and weight are fine, and rabies shot is up to date. She's an indoor cat, was adopted by my adult daughter at age 2. Our daughter lived with us for a year, relocated out of state and left Lois behind in 2024. We travel from time to time and are busy. Lois likes to sit on a lap in the morning and evening. Her love language is physical touch. She doesn't ask for much: food in the morning, a little play time where we shake a stick toy and she runs around. Perfect owner would give her a little attention and the cuddling she deserves from a more attentive caregiver. Be careful with young children-she often swats her paw or gently bites us, but it's all for attention we're not giving her. A retired owner or worker from home would be perfect. We will give new owner litter box, cat tree, toys, cat carrier, nail clipper, supplies, leftover new litter, and food for 2-4 wks.

These cats are in St Petersburg, Florida too!

Story
Meet Garfield, one of our sweetest gentle giants—despite his name, he’s nothing like the mischievous cartoon cat (though he does appreciate a good meal!). At just 4 years old, Garfield is a devoted lap cat who lives for love and companionship. He’ll happily follow you from room to room, always curious and always close by, as if he’s trying to “help” with whatever you’re doing. Settle in for a quiet moment and he’ll curl right into your arms, purring non-stop and making the softest little air biscuits as he melts into you. Garfield is pure comfort, pure affection, and pure heart. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will fill your home with warmth and gentle love, Garfield is ready to be your new best friend. To apply, visit cjpaws.org/adopt to begin the adoption process for Garfield.

Whenever possible, Babies need to be adopted in pairs to avoid only kitten syndrome. We'd love for you to meet them! Please submit an adoption application at CJPAWS.ORG/ADOPT so we can set you up with an appointment to meet. Mother Nature Knew What She Was Doing When She Created Kittens in Litters! Kittens need interaction with other kittens for healthy social development. A kitten learns a lot in the first several months of life from their mother and littermates. Separating a kitten from their mother is often a necessity for adoption purposes, but taking it away from their littermates and isolating it can delay the kitten’s development emotionally, socially, and sometimes physically. Kittens who are able to remain with one of their littermates or a similarly-aged companion tend to be healthier and happier, and in the long run, better socialized pets than those who are isolated from others of their kind at an early age. Even loving, caring, hu-mans are not adequate substitutes for kitten companionship. Even if a person is fortunate enough to be home quite a bit, the amount of attention a lone kitten will demand is likely to occupy more time than the person has available. A pair of kittens will definitely still want to interact with people, but can keep each other occupied. Most cats, regardless of their age, are highly sociable and are truly happier living with other cat companions. This in turn makes them better pets. Kittens are curious and crave constant stimulation. Out of boredom, a single kitten will often entertain themself by chewing plants, climbing drapes and furniture, unrolling toilet paper, exploring electrical cords and sockets, etc. Kittens who live with other kittens may sometimes do these things as well, but if they have another kitten to tumble around and play with it is less likely they’ll need to entertain themselves with behaviors like these, which can be destructive and dangerous. Kittens bite and wrestle with one another–this behavior is normal. You can’t prevent a kitten from doing what comes natural-ly, any more than you can force a two-year-old toddler to sit still. Though it’s not acceptable for a kitten to bite and wrestle with their human companions, in the absence of having a littermate or companion their own age to play with, this is precisely what a single kitten will want to do. Even if you are willing to allow (and can tolerate) this behavior from your kitten, by the time the kitten matures, you will end up with an adult cat who has developed very bad habits (i.e. biting and scratching as “play”). Kittens are very active at night A single kit-ten is likely to keep people awake at night with constant jumping, pouncing and other “hunt-ing” behavior. With a companion to play with at night, this behavior is minimized because they will have each other to chase and play games with until they too fall asleep. A single kitten is not a good companion for an older cat Kittens have boundless energy. They want to play and run constantly which typically overwhelms and irritates an older cat. Likewise, a kitten is apt to be frustrated that their companion doesn’t have their same level of energy. At the very least, this can lead to two very unhappy cats. At worst, behavior problems such as litter box avoidance or destructive scratching can occur as one or both cats act out their frustrations on their surroundings. It’s not likely that the two will have a close, bonded relationship, even after the kitten matures, since their experiences with one another from the beginning of the relationship are likely to be negative. An older cat is better matched with a cat closer to their own age and temperament. If you chose to add a kitten to a home with an older cat, adopt a pair of kittens, not a single kitten. This ensures the energetic kittens have buddies to play with and the older cat can choose to participate in playing or not. Please follow us on Facebook where you can message questions via messenger. 100% of adoption fees directly support CJPaws, a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue headquartered in St. Petersburg, FL where we are dedicated towards improving animal welfare in our community.

We are able to keep operating and saving animals because of donations from people like you. If you would like to help us continue to save animals, you can donate, foster, and adopt! ** To apply, please go to our website, www.cjpaws.org and visit the Adoptions page. Or copy and paste into your browser: http://www.cjpaws.org/adopt/app/ *** It can take up to 24 hours to respond to your application and an additional 1-2 business days to have your application approved.
