Maya's Story

Meet Maya, a beautiful black cat with a heart as deep as her glossy coat. Maya is a bit of a wallflower, preferring to observe the world from a safe distance. She's a little shy, but don't let that fool you. Behind those bright, curious eyes is a world of untapped affection and fun waiting to be shared.<br/><br/>Maya's past was a little rough, as she was born and raised in a semi-feral colony. But feral life was not destined to be her future because this sweet girl wanted to be rescued. And while she walked away from the feral life, it's clear she's still struggles learning to fully trust people. She might not be the first to greet you at the door, but give her time and patience, and she'll slowly come out of her shell. She's a cat who needs a gentle touch, a soft voice, and tasty treats to reassure her that the world isn't as scary as it seems.<br/><br/>Maya is looking for a forever home where she can feel safe and loved. She might take a little longer to warm up, but once she does, she'll reward you with a lifetime of loyalty and love. She adores being brushed and loves gentle pets and scratches, and she's particularly fond of treats and catnip. There are still a few things in life that make her nervous and afraid, but time and patience are helping her become more confident and trusting.<br/><br/>Maya is more than just your average cat; she's a companion waiting to share her heart and life with someone who understands her. So, if you have a quiet home and a patient heart, Maya might just be the perfect addition to your family. She's a testament to the fact that trust takes time, but the reward is worth every moment.<br/><br/>If interested in meeting precious Maya, please submit an application here: https://fjcasp.wufoo.com/forms/adoption-application/

Friends of Jackson County Animal Shelter Pets's Adoption Policy
At FJCASP, we dedicate a great deal of love, time, and resources to caring for our animals, and our top priority is to see them go to permanent, loving homes with people who have the knowledge and means to provide proper care. Adoption Fee: $80–$150 Vet References Required We require that all potential adopters provide veterinary references. This allows us to confirm that any current or past pets have been kept up to date on vaccinations, preventatives, and are spayed/neutered. Most veterinary offices are familiar with this request. Our goal is to ensure that our animals are placed in homes where they will remain safe, healthy, and properly cared for. Long-Term Commitment Adopting a pet is a serious, long-term commitment. We want all potential adopters to understand their responsibilities and be prepared to care for an animal for its lifetime. Home Requirements To provide a safe environment, we require that adopters provide: - Proper shelter for the animal - Understanding of how to introduce a new pet to children and existing animals -Commitment to keeping the animal as an indoor pet Adoption Approval All adoptions must be finalized and approved by the FJCASP Board. This ensures oversight by experienced individuals who can confirm that all parties understand their responsibilities and that the animal’s welfare is prioritized. Adopter Responsibilities It is part of our adoption agreement that all medical treatments, veterinary costs, preventatives, food, and shelter are the sole responsibility of the adopter. Our goal is to place each animal in a loving, safe, and permanent home, and these guidelines help us ensure that every adoption is successful for both the pet and the adopter.
