Story
We adopted Frankie, a 20+ lb Russian Blue/Maine Coon mix, a little over 4 years ago. She is 10 yrs old. She is the most loving cat. She will lay on you, next to you, and/or with you most of the day/night. She wants to be around people (i.e don't leave her alone ALOT). She is vocal. When she is hungry or needs attention she will proudly let you know. She also LOVES blankets and will suckle on them whenever she gets a chance. The current issue is she is urinating outside the litter box. Doesn't happen every day but has happened off and on for a couple years. Due to her weight, she does have arthritis. We have 2 other cats and the litter boxes are in the basement. Unfortunately, we have no acceptable place on our main floor to put one. We just put new carpet in the basement and she has peed on it a couple times. Hence the extremely difficult decision to try and give her a loving home with no steps. We will include a litter box, the automatic feeder, and remaining dry/wet food.

Story
Grayson is looking for a new home! This boy is super affectionate and is looking for someone to share his love with. Grayson tested positive for FIV, but can live a normal, healthy life. According to the Humane Society of the US, "Cats with FIV often have similar life spans to cats without it: Studies conducted in 2010 and 2022 found that an FIV diagnosis wasn’t associated with decreased lifespans. In fact, cats can remain asymptomatic for years or even their entire lives." Read more about FIV: https://www.humanesociety.org/news/fiv-positive-cats Adoption fee: $175 (Includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, worming, and FeLV/FIV test - over $350 worth of veterinary care!) Go to www.ColumbusPetRescue.com to begin the adoption process today. We have invested time, money, and care into our feline friends and want to ensure they never have to be abandoned again. Click on "available pet" and scroll down to find the adoption application. After filling out an application, e-mail it to ColumbusPetRescue@gmail.com. We will process your information and check veterinary and other references. Finally you may be scheduled for a home visit to make sure the environment is perfect for your new family member. Once you are approved, the process is simple: choose your new cat, meet and greet him or her, and, if all goes well, you have yourself a new pet. (All cats will be spayed or neutered before going to their new home.) E-mail your application to ColumbusPetRescue@gmail.com today! We only adopt within the state of Ohio.

Story
Archie is beautiful and soft almost 4 year old orange kitty. He’s house trained, friendly and loving. We previously had a medium sized senior dog and another cat that he was friendly with and got along great with until they passed away last year. He’s had his regular shots and doctor visits every year and has no health issues. He enjoys being inside and looking out windows or snuggling on the couch. No problems with scratching as we have always kept one of those perforated cardboard scratching block toys in our living space. Archie must be re-homed due to our 2nd daughter having severe allergies to cats that we cannot overcome. We will miss him dearly and need to ensure he has a proper home and will also be including a generous supply of his kitty food to come along, all free of charge. Thank you for your consideration of our little loving Archie.

Story
Freya is a very sweet, determined, but temperamental girl. She was originally found nearly abandoned (someone came occasionally to throw food in the front door) in an apartment with another cat. They were alone together often on for about two weeks before discovery. She’s very loyal to the parent. She deans her favorite, but seems to be very nervous around anyone else in the home or new friends although she is generally nice to them. She has never created an issue with children, but likes to stay clear from them at all possibilities. She does well with other cats however she is very, very particular about wanting a clean litter box and will act out if it is not to her standards with that said she may do Best as the only animal in the home. When she warms up, she will make a great companion, very loving, very loyal and loves to cuddle.

I found him under the shed when he was 3 weeks old. I took him to the vet and got him cleaned up and vaccinated. He is affectionate, enjoys sitting next to me. He likes most food except canned paté. He likes to be pet before he eats. He enjoys looking outside. He likes fishing pole toys and enjoys chasing ribbons.

Story
Milo and his brother Murphy were born on a farm in the summer of 2021. Milo is inquisitive, snuggly, and incredibly good around kids. He loves to play, and he loves finding new spots in the house to enjoy. His favorite activities are spending time on a window perch watching the birds and wrestling with his brother. Murphy is the more reserved of the two and is perfectly content to snuggle on any lap or blanket available. He can be shy around new visitors, but warms up quickly. He loves anyone new he meets. His favorite activities are finding new cozy spots around the house, napping, and romping around. We have two children, and between our full-time work schedules do not have the time to spend with our cats. We would prefer both the cats to stay together in their next home. Both cats are up to date on shots, neutered, and have never had health concerns. They do NOT like dogs. They are indoor cats. We will give everything for the cats from our home to their next owners.

Story
Dad was found with his girlfriend and two kittens in an unsafe area by S IH-35. He got along well with his girlfriend and kittens, but they were scooped up and found homes. Dad was fixed and put back on the streets before anyone noticed how friendly he was! A nice human stepped in and noticed his health was deteriorating outside and had no constant source of food or water. He was taken inside to focus on his health. Turns out, he LOVES being around people! Dad thinks toys are ok but prefers getting pets and sitting next to a loving human or snuggling at night! Although Dad tested positive for FIV (weakened immune system), FIV cats tend to have normal life spans when cared for and the majority never experience complications. FIV is only transmitted to other cats through blood transfusions and serious penetrating bite wounds. FIV cannot be transmitted to humans or other animals. Dad would be the healthiest as an indoor cat but a bonus to have access to an enclosed outdoor space.

Percy is 5 months (born September 2). He's a very sweet, loving, and affectionate boy. He's playful (climbing & parkour apparently lol), fairly verbal. Loves to cuddle & be with his brother. I would prefer to keep them together, but he'd be okay with his person or with a friend!

Story
Rory was born outside to a stray that we were feeding. After a few months, he invited himself into the house. He enjoys being outside, loves to play but is rather shy. I believe he would very much enjoy being a barn cat or with a lot more time and one on one than we can give him, a very good indoor/outdoor cat. He gets along very well with cats and dogs but since he has had limited serious attention, probably would not be a good cat for a family with young children that might scare him or break what little trust he has. He's a bit skittish so I don't believe that would be very good for him. I think he would do well with someone calm and dedicated to bringing him out of his shell. He is mostly unvetted though he is neutered. He likes pets and treats and what cat doesn't like chinny scritches?

Pallas is sweet and loving. I adopted her about 3 years ago, but I’m renting and my landlord won’t allow a pet. She’s great with my mom’s two smaller dogs and cat - we lived in the home with them for two years and she loved hanging out with the dogs! She likes to be held and will cuddle up with you on the sofa. She’s vocal and likes to have chats, which makes her great company for a single person. She’s well behaved, litter trained and not a scratcher.

Adopting a Burmese

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Burmese - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

Adopting a Burmese cat from a rescue organization or shelter typically costs between $100 to $300. The adoption fee often includes basic veterinary care such as spaying or neutering, vaccinations, and sometimes microchipping. Conversely, it can be prohibitively expensive to buy a Burmese from a breeder, with costs ranging between $800 and $1,500.

The easiest way to adopt a Burmese is through a rescue that specializes in Burmese. A great place to start is by creating a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Burmese cats in your area.

Burmese fun facts

Fun Facts:

All modern Burmese cats can be traced back to Wong Mau, a cat transported in 1930 from Burma (now Myanmar) to San Francisco.

Burmese genes are magic -- well, almost. They have a gene that makes solid black appear dark brown by taking the hair and turning down the pigment.

European Burmese cats look quite different from American Burmese cats -- different eye, head, and body shapes.
