Domestic Longhair kittens & cats in Athens, Ohio

Aries is a handsome 7-year old male kitty who was surrendered by his owner on August 2, 2024 because she was unable to take care of him. This debonair gentleman has a dark brown tabby long-haired coat, a long fluffy tail, and a regal-looking face with golden eyes, extra-large ears with nice 'ear furnishings', a brown velvet nose, a white beard on his chin, and beautiful long white whiskers. Aries was given vaccinations, wormer, and flea treatment on August 2, 2024. He weighed 9.2 lbs that day. His owner told us that Aries was good with other animals (but didn't specify whether that included dogs as well as cats) .. And he is good with children. Aries was calm, chill, and very distinguished-looking when we stopped by to take his photos on August 13, 2024. Aries had been moved to The Jungle Room (one of our cat adoption rooms) where he was taking a leisurely afternoon nap, and he was quite charming though he obviously was anxious to get back to his nap (smile). Aries has already been neutered, so he could leave our shelter with his new family rather quickly with an approved HSOV adoption application. Aries is also available for rescue. Rescue groups may contact our HSOV Feline Rescue Coordinator via email (sharonpaul2@suddenlink.net). We can usually help with transportation. Update: Aries is currently in foster care but is still available for adoption. If you are interested in adopting Aries, please complete an HSOV adoption application and we will arrange a meet-and-greet with his foster family.

Bunny is a beautiful one-year old female Tuxedo kitty who was brought to the HSOV on October 12, 2024 along with her best friend (Kitty) who is most likely her sister. These girls were found fending for themselves in the Veto Lake area of Washington County Ohio. This young lady has a black long-haired smooth coat with a triangular patch of white on her chest, a long fluffy tail, and an adorable face with golden eyes, a cute black 'goatee', a black velvet nose, and long white whiskers. Bunny was given vaccinations and Pyrantel wormer on October 12, 2024. She weighed 7.4 lbs that day. Bunny was given booster vaccines on October 26, 2024. These photos of Bunny were taken on October 12th shortly after her arrival. She has a friendly, rather demure. personality. Bunny was understandably a little apprehensive about finding herself in an unfamiliar place, so she chose to have her glamour photos taken where she felt most comfortable (in the floor crate she was sharing with Kitty). Bunny and her bestie (Kitty) are very bonded with each other, and they depend upon each other for comfort and a sense of security. They have been kept together and are always snuggled up as close to each other as possible. We feel that it is in their best interest to be adopted as a bonded pair. Bunny and Kitty will be spayed before being adopted by their new family. Update: It appears that (sigh) there is a possibility that Bunny and Kitty are both pregnant, so they have been moved into a more quiet area of shelter (together, of course) where our HSOV Kennel Techs can keep a close watch on them. UPDATE: Thankfully neither Bunny nor Kitty were pregnant. Bunny and Kitty will be spayed in the near future and will soon be ready to find a fabulous home either through adoption or rescue. Rescue groups may contact our HSOV Feline Rescue Coordinator via email (sharonpaul2@suddenlink.net). We can usually help with transportation.

Tasha is a beautiful 3-month old female Tortoiseshell kitten who was brought to the HSOV on October 12, 2024 along with two of her siblings (Tony and Troy). Her third sibling (Toya) arrived on October 17th. The kittens' mother (Tori) was brought to HSOV on October 13th. This little family was found on Hickory Drive in Little Hocking Ohio. This little dollbaby has a black/orange/beige longhaired coat in a Tortoiseshell pattern, a long fluffy tail, and an adorable kitten face with golden eyes, nice 'ear furnishings', a wide vertical stripe on her muzzle/forehead, and long black whiskers. Tasha was given Pyrantel wormer on October 12th and received vaccinations on October 13th. She weighed 2.2 lbs that day. Tasha was given booster vaccines on November 15, 2024. Tasha and her sister Toya are currently sharing a double-wide cage in our Jungle Room where they enjoy romping/playing to their heart's content and then snuggling up for a catnap together. Toya is rather shy and depends upon her 'big sister' Tasha for reassurance and security. These photos of Tasha were taken on December 17, 2024 when HSOV Lead Feline Kennel Tech Lauryn Hamilton accompanied Tasha and her sister Toya in our 'studio' for their glamour pictures. Tasha posed like a wanna-be model for 'Kitten Fancy Magazine' though she wasn't quite sure what she was auditioning for (smile). Tasha will be spayed (tentatively in late January 2025) before being adopted by her new family. Naturally we'd love to see her adopted with her sister Toya .. And remember that kittens do much better in pairs.
