My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Baby is a female black tortie who is approximately 1 – 2 years old. She was found outside by a TNR group and has been spayed so she has a small ear tip. The group did not want to return Baby to her outside colony when they noticed she had an unstable gait. When Baby was taken to the vet, it was determined that she has a neurological disorder called Cerebellar Hypoplasia. For Baby, this means that she has a bit of a wobble when she walks or sways slightly side to side. Even with her “disability,” Baby seems to be a very happy cat. She loves toys and is quite playful. She is also very affectionate and loves nothing better than to follow her foster mom around and receive pets.

Baby is litter box trained. She is vaccinated, flea treated and de-wormed, and tested negative for feline leukemia/FIV. Baby may need a dental somewhere down the road as she has not had proper nourishment.

Baby would love nothing more than to have an inside home and someone to love her. Baby likes other cats and would do well in a home as the only cat or with other gentle animals.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We require that adopters fill out an application, which can be downloaded from our web site, www.bandocats.org under "How You Can Help" and "Adopt." Once it is filled out, you can email it back to us at bandocats@columbus.rr.com or fax it to 614-873-0972. Our adoption fee is $75. If you adopt two cats or kittens, we only charge one adoption fee. We do not have a shelter, so once you are approved, we will make arrangements to allow you to meet the cat you are interested in through their foster. All cats are in foster homes.

Go meet their pets

We have adoption events at the PetSmart on Sawmill Road in Columbus the fourth Saturday of every month from 12-2. We also have two cages at this PetSmart and you can stop in and meet our cats and fill out an application there.

More about this rescue

Black and Orange Cat Foundation consists of a small group of volunteers working on trap-neuter-return (TNR) efforts for feral cats and spay/neuter services for stray cats in the Plain City area. Plain City is a rural farming community that is situated in two counties--Madison and Union counties. Because we are a farming area, there are a huge number of "barn cats" that need to be fixed. We are the only group in this area working on an ongoing basis to spay and neuter feral and stray cats.

Never heard of TNR? Trap-neuter-return involves humanely trapping feral or "wild" cats in traps baited with tuna or other yummy kitty foods. The cats, once trapped, are then transported to the vet to be spayed or neutered. We desperately want to cut down on the cat over population problem that is overwhelming so many shelters and TNR is helping us do just that.

But while the cats we trap are feral, there are often kittens or tame cats in these colonies that can be placed in homes. The kitties on these pages have all come from sad situations. With a lot of love, medical help, and plenty of good food, these guys have all become lovebugs looking for forever homes. Won't you please consider one of them so they will never be lonely or hungry again?
