Calico kittens & cats in Heath, Ohio

Tia is a remarkable and resilient kitty that needs a foster or forever home. She has captured the hearts of those who care for her at one of our feral feeding stations, and while she has a feisty and sassy nature, we think she has the potential to blossom with the right person. If you are unable to foster/adopt Tia, please share this post to help her find the loving home she deserves! Tia has likely spent most (if not all) of her life outdoors. This smart and spirited calico has a sweet, expressive face, and she’s a petite little spitfire who communicates through hisses, growls, and occasional meows. Once she knows you, she’ll approach with her tail straight up—a sign of trust. Though we are unsure of Tia’s exact age, we think she’s probably between 5-10 years old. Despite missing several teeth due to age, Tia seems otherwise healthy. She has received veterinary care and been spayed in the past, hence her tipped ear. If we can find a kind soul willing to care for her, she will have an updated exam prior to being transferred to her new home. Note that Tia will need a quiet, calm home without kids or other pets, and she’ll initially need a small space of her own to become acclimated. Patience will be key, and she’ll hide for a while, until she feels safe. Her foster/adopter should be experienced with cats, and some experience with semi-feral or feral cats would be ideal. Tia is located in the Columbus area. If you’re located in Ohio and think you might be a good match for Tia, submit an application via our website.

FIV+Meet Blanche, a stunning calico beauty with a striking mix of black, orange, and white fur. Born around March 8, 2021, Blanche joined our adoption center on March 16, 2024, after being caught as a stray in Blacklick by our dedicated TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release) volunteers. Despite her life on the streets, Blanche is not feral. She has an independent spirit that makes her an intriguing and charming companion. Blanche is spayed, vaccinated, and has tested negative for FeLV. Additionally, she is FIV+ (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus positive), which means she has a weakened immune system compared to FIV-negative cats. FIV+ cats can live with FIV- as long as the cats get along and are both spayed/neutered.  A deep bite is the only way it would spread with altered cats. Blanche is shy and tends to be reserved around new people. However, if you approach her slowly, she enjoys a good head scratch and will purr contentedly. She may not be the most attention-seeking kitty, but she still appreciates love and TLC. Her friendship is won through gentle pets and tasty snacks, making the bond you form with her all the more special. Blanche got her name because of her beautiful white patches of fur that reminded our volunteers of fresh snow. Her name, meaning "white" in French, seemed like a perfect fit for her unique and elegant appearance. If you’re looking for a beautiful and self-reliant feline friend, Blanche may just be the perfect addition to your family. Come meet her and experience her unique charm for yourself! **Come meet me at the cage free Adoption Center! All cats are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and tested for FIV/FeLV.

DOB: 1/19/2024 She sat in the quiet corners of the world, watching, waiting. Marengo had never known the warmth of a forever home, the soft touch of a hand she could trust. At just a year old, life had taught her to be cautious, to keep her heart guarded like a secret only time could unlock. But love—true, patient love—has a way of breaking down walls. And Marengo? She’s ready to learn. She’s still finding her way, still learning that kindness doesn’t come with conditions. With time, with gentle whispers and understanding, she will bloom, revealing the sweet, tender soul beneath her shy exterior. Maybe you’re the one who can show Marengo that love isn’t something to fear—it’s something to embrace. Maybe, just maybe, her story is waiting to begin… with you.  Come meet me at the cage-free Adoption Center!

Meet Ginger, a stunning 8-year-old calico with a vibrant coat and a personality to match! This sassy lady knows what she likes and isn’t afraid to set boundaries.

While she’s still learning to feel safe and secure, Ginger has already shown her adorable side. She loves being talked to and will answer back with the sweetest little meows, letting you know she’s listening. She enjoys finding cozy spots to lounge in and spending time gazing out the window at the world outside. She would thrive in a quiet home with a patient adopter who will give her the time and space she needs to feel at ease. If you’re looking for a cat with a bit of sass and a lot of charm, Ginger might just be the perfect companion for you. Come meet her and see if she’s the missing piece to your home!
