Story
Zip is being graciously sponsored by Ellen Alarie!Zip! A gorgeous, large and timid kitty-boy! He loves cat-nip and crunchy treats, playing with feather toys, springs and scrunchy balls. He also loves and needs a very safe-feeling, protected space to retreat to when he gets spooked. His perfect home will be one with understanding and very patient humans willing to give him as long as it takes for him to be comfortable enough to live and thrive! He gets a huge amount of confidence when another cat is present, and would love a cat-friendly cat to be his friend. He is staying in our Kitties Building and not in the Catfe so if you are ready to meet him, fill out an adoption survey and we will set up a date!

Story
Cruella is being graciously sponsored by Brittany Fulton!Cruella is a sweet and people-friendly cat that was found as a wounded stray! She's all patched up and ready to meet some people- she loves to be held and cuddle on your lap. If you are looking for a kitty to be your shadow and sing you some songs- this is the one!! She is a bit overstimulated here in the lounge-the other cats are a bit too much for her. If you would like to meet her, fill out an adoption survey and we will arrange a meet-up.

Story
Rumi is being graciously sponsored by Saheem and Mohsina Absar!Rumi is a late-neutered kitty boy who spent some time on the streets. A very caring person took him in, but couldn't find his owner. He was malnourished and covered in fleas. She kept him safe and warm, took him to the vet and had him neutered. She described him a s a loving lap cat. He has been experiencing a lot of anxiety in this environment of kitties. So now he is staying in a foster home where he feels way more comfortable and can relax and let his personality shine! He is affectionate with humans when he is relaxed, he really loves a neck scritch and head petting. If you'd like to meet him, fill out an adoption survey and we will set up a meet and greet!

Story
Wyndham has been with our foster group for over a year, waiting patiently for someone to notice her. Quiet and snuggly at home with her foster but quickly overwhelmed at adoption events, this poor little lady has been overlooked again and again. This sweet little girl deserves for someone to give her a quiet, safe home, a loving lap to curl up in, and a chance at love. Our vet estimates Wyndham to be just a year and a half old. Included with the adoption is the kitty's spay, all current-due FVRCP, FeLeuk, and rabies vaccinations for kitties over 1-year, deworming, flea treatment, a wellness check, FIV/FeLV combo testing, and microchipping.

Story
**Courtesy Post** Please email all inquiries to thecopaceticcat@yahoo.com. The Copacetic Cat is based in Darke County but offers initial meet and greet video chats through Facebook or Zoom. Nero is a very skittish, sensitive boy. He does not seek out pets from his people, though he will accept some during dinner time or if you catch him sleeping. He’ll need a special person who understands he’s timid. He loves to play and will chase a wand toy. He just needs more one-on-one time than he’s been given being a part of a large group of fosters. He’s been neutered, combo tested negative and is fully vaccinated and litter trained. Nero would do better if adopted with his pal Conan. They’re not bonded but do enjoy each other’s company greatly, and having a friend in a new home would help Nero acclimate. Dogs and children would not be ideal for this nervous fellow. A quiet home would be best.

Story
Bindi is an independent girl, and SOOOO cute!!! She likes to carry toys around, constantly redecorating the play area. She loves batting balls and chasing them, following the laser pointer, sitting on tall cat trees looking out the windows, and snuggling up with you in bed purring until she falls asleep. Bindi likes to hang out and stay nearby. Louder noises and quick movements tend to spook her a bit, so a slow approach will get you far with this little lady! And then when things get to be a little much for her, she'll find a dark, quiet spot to hang out until the action dies down and she decides it's safe again. This sweet girl just needs someone who understands her sensitive nature and is willing to give her a little space when she needs it. And in return, she'll repay you with trust, companionship, and love!! Included with the adoption is the kitty's spay, all applicable birth-to-one-year FVRCP, FeLeuk and first round of rabies vaccinations, deworming, flea treatment, a wellness check, FIV/FeLV combo testing, and microchipping. In addition to being fully vetted, our cats and kittens are highly socialized. We offer a 2-week getting acquainted period and a 2-week wellness guarantee, so you can comfortably settle in with your new kitty! Please note, young kitties do best with another kitty in the household. Bindi will do well with other peaceful, non-dominant kitties.

Story
Ruby Sue is a super sweet lap kitty. She can be shy at first, but once comfortable is very loving. She purrs a lot, loves to be pet, and will sit on your lap for hours. Unfortunately, one of the other cats in our home is extremely aggressive toward her. It has gotten so bad that Ruby is fearful of moving about the house. This has resulted in many accidents because she is afraid of going in to the litter box with a human by her side. She is so anxious that she no longer plays with toys. She is absolutely miserable right now. Due to the trauma she has experienced, I believe Ruby would do best in a home without other cats. She gets along well with small dogs.
