Story
Meet April — A Gentle Heart in Search of Her Forever Home. April’s story is one of quiet transformation. When she first arrived at our sanctuary as a tiny springtime kitten, she was shy and uncertain, unsure of the world around her. But with time, love, and patience, this beautiful girl has blossomed into a sweet, tender companion — now she just needs the right home to complete her journey. April is a soft soul who thrives in the company of other calm, gentle cats. She absolutely adores snuggling with her feline friends, often curling up in a cozy pile for warmth, comfort, and companionship. She feels safest and happiest when she has a calm kitty companion by her side — and for that reason, we would love to see her adopted with a trusted shelter friend she already knows and loves. With people, April is shy at first — but once she trusts you, she enjoys gentle pets, quiet snuggles, and will reward your patience with soft purrs and affection. She isn’t a bold, outgoing cat, but she is incredibly loving in her own peaceful, steady way. Watching her bloom into a confident companion will be one of the most rewarding experiences for her future family. April’s Info: Born approximately 3/1/2024; Sleek black coat; Spayed; Up to date on vaccinations; Tested negative for Feline Leukemia and FIV; Flea-treated, dewormed, and healthy. April will do best in a calm home where she can continue to blossom at her own pace, surrounded by understanding people and maybe even a snuggly feline friend. She’s waited so patiently for someone to see the beauty and love she has to offer. Could that someone be you? Apply to meet April today: https://www.catsanctuaryashland.org/adoption-application

Story
There are no surprises with our black and white boy Rio; just like his can't-be-missed coat, he has a huge personality, too! This sweet boy loves to help (supervise?) around our facility; he is always nearby to help you with whatever you are doing, or to encourage you to take a break and give him a snuggle or three. He is mischievous and full of fun, but is always happy to spend time cuddling with you! Rio is just over a year old, and has had surgery on his left eye (we aren't sure if he had an old injury or untreated infection, but he is 100% able to find you, whether it's time to have fun or a snuggle!) Rio was too sweet to stay a TNR; we know someone will be able to match the love he has to give! In addition, Rio has also: -Tested negative for Feline Leukemia/FIV; -Is neutered; -Is vaccinated; -Has been treated for fleas and worms; and -Had a negative fecal test. -The balance of his vaccinations are included in our adoption plan. Are you looking for a flashy cat with personality to spare? If you like a cat with a twinkle in his eye, then Rio is your guy! If you would like to set up a meeting with this handsome fella, please fill out an application today. https://www.catsanctuaryashland.org/adoption-application

Story
Often, we will get questions about how we come up with the names for our cats. Well, this one is easy: Bistro here wandered into the Greens Bistro during one of our many cold snaps. The door opened, she walked right in out of the freezing cold, and the rest is history! We are so thankful that the Greens could help out our girl when she most needed it; now she is looking for someone to help her and give her a home, forever. At one year old, this pretty tiger girl is pretty resilient (obviously), and her sweet nature and kind disposition will make her the purr-fect addition to anyone's home. She knows she wants warmth and companionship, and she would love to find that with you! In addition, Bistro has also: -Tested negative for Feline Leukemia/FIV; -Is spayed; -Is vaccinated; -Has been treated for fleas and worms; and -Had a negative fecal test. -The balance of her vaccinations are included in our adoption plan. Bistro is ready to walk right into the door of her fur-ever home. Is that door yours?

Story
Meet Bolognese! Bolognese is a female, short hair grey tiger with an estimated DOB of 5/8/2021. Bolognese and her sister Pesto have been with us about a year and a half. These sweet girls started off a little on the shy side which is probably the only reason some lucky family hasn't snatched them up already. They may need a little time to settle into new surroundings, but these girls would most certainly bring joy to a new family. Both of these ladies love the laser pointer and would do just about anything for their Temptation Puree treats! Sister Marinara has already found her forever home, now it's time for her sisters to do the same. Both sisters are spayed, tested negative for feline leukemia/FIV, fully vaccinated, wormed, fecal tested negative, flea prevention. If you think your home might be right for Bolognese, Pesto, or maybe both please fill out an application today! Https://www.catsanctuaryashland.org/application

Story
Meet Kay – A Playful, Loving Girl Looking for Her Forever Home! Kay is a beautiful short-haired Torti who has been with us for almost three years, often overlooked for younger kittens or more outgoing cats. But don’t let that fool you—this sweet, playful girl is an amazing companion just waiting for the right home! She may not be the first to run up and greet visitors, but once she knows you, she’s full of personality and loves to play. Kay does well with non-aggressive kitties and would thrive in a calm home without small children or dogs. She is spayed, feline leukemia/FIV negative, up-to-date on all vaccinations, fecal tested negative, and has been treated for fleas and worms. Her estimated DOB is 9/2021. Kay is more than ready for a home of her own—could that be with you? Give this wonderful girl the chance she deserves! Apply to adopt Kay today! Https://www.catsanctuaryashland.org/application
