Story
A friend of mine had to leave the state quickly and he was unable to find a home for Butter before he left, I offered to find him a good home. This cat is SUPER FRIENDLY and would rather be petted than eat. We have him isolated from our dog and cats at the moment. He was previously an indoor and outoor cat, and was picked on by neighborhood cats, so not sure if he will get along with others. But when I go in to feed him, he comes over and wants to be petted first, and then goes back to the food. Whenever I would visit my friend, Butter would come out to my car and jump up in my lap before I got out of the car. I wish I could keep him, but at the max of cats per my husband, He would make someone a great companion. He is kitty litter trained. He is a fixed male, 4 years old and already has a microchip.

Story
Molson is the sweetest cat you’ll ever meet. He is great with other female cats and children. He cannot be with other male cats or dogs (which is the reason we must get rid of him). He is affectionate, likes to be held, and is very low maintenance.

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. I'm a little shy considering everything, but if you have a little patience I promise we will be great friends. ** To apply to adopt one of our animals, please go to our website, www.cjpaws.org and visit the Adoptions page.

Story
Big Butt is a large kitty with a bit of junk in the trunk. Big Butt loves to chat, loves other cats, and loves to eat. Big Butt has a big personality and loves to be the center of attention. He loves to dote on people and other cats. Big Butt has had several owners. His first owner loved him dearly, but was forced to re-home Big Butt (called Baby) due to a chronic health condition. Big Butt was adopted by his owner’s health care technician and lived happily with several kitty siblings. Tragically, Big Butt’s owner passed away in November 2022. He was taken in by a family member who also tragically passed away the following month in December 2022. Big Butt is seeking a home with a loving family and would love to be adopted with his kitty siblings.

Story
I found Daphne outside when I was brooding ducklings. I didn’t want a cat getting any ideas about an easy-access snack, so I brought her inside & realized she was pregnant. She spent a few days isolated from my other animals, but eventually I was able to set up an indoor nesting area for her. I did take her to the vet once, she does not have worms or feline leukemia. They did an xray to check on the kittens, but didn’t mention anything abnormal about her anatomy when they saw it. She has not been spayed yet & had her kittens going on 9 weeks ago. She is an absolutely lovely cat, she loves to be paid attention to & pet, she doesn’t fuss when held, she lets me clip her nails & get her eye boogies off easily. She hasn’t once gone to the bathroom other than in a litter box & gets along without any issues with other cats. The only caveat is she does NOT LIKE DOGS. She got better at tolerating their existence, but when they get near her she hisses, growls, & sometimes throws claws.
