Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Marietta, Ohio

Morticia is a beautiful 3-year old female kitty who was surrendered by her owner on May 20, 2023 along with her 3-month old kitten (Wednesday) and two one-year old male kitties (Gomez and Pugsley). Morticia has a sleek black short smooth coat, a long tail, and an adorable face with dark golden eyes, a black velvet nose, and long black whiskers. This lovely mother kitty is understandably frightened being in a small cage when she enjoyed the freedom of her very own home for several years. Morticia and her kitten Wednesday are sharing a cage so that they may provide comfort/security for each other. Momma and baby dearly love each other. Morticia was given vaccinations, wormer, and flea treatment on May 24, 2023. she weighed 6 lbs that day. Morticia was spayed on May 30, 2023 and was also given rabies vaccine. She weighed 6.04 lbs that day. Since Morticia has been spayed, she is ready to find a loving home either through adoption or rescue. Naturally we'd love for Morticia and Wednesday to find a home together. Rescue groups may contact our HSOV Feline Rescue Coordinator via email (sharonpaul2@suddenlink.net). We can usually help with transportation.

Miss Daisy is a beautiful 10-year old female kitty who was brought to the HSOV on December 9, 2023 by Good Samaritans who had learned of Miss Daisy's sad story and wanted desperately to find her the best home ever.... Miss Daisy had been living near two motels (and a restaurant) in Marietta Ohio and was being fed by kind employees at those business establishments after they realized that Miss Daisy was also taking care of her newborn kittens. When the kittens were about 5-6 weeks old, employees found homes for the kittens ... And the Good Samaritans gained Miss Daisy's confidence and were able to entice her into a cat carrier. They were unsure if (sigh) Miss Daisy might be pregnant again, so we quickly reached out to one of our wonderful foster kitty mothers who agreed to give Miss Daisy a temporary home where she will be able to give birth to her babies if she is pregnant .. And if she turns out not to be pregnant, we will have her spayed and find her a fantastic home. Miss Daisy has a brown tabby short smooth coat with white highlights on her chest, a long ringed tail, and a pretty face with golden eyes, a dusting of white on her muzzle, a brown velvet nose, and long white whiskers. This lovely lady has a sweet, affectionate personality and a rather shy disposition. Miss Daisy enjoys petting (as long as you take things slow .. and she doesn't really like to be petted on her head/neck). Miss Daisy was given vaccinations, wormer, and flea treatment on December 9, 2023. She weighed 8.7 lbs that day. UPDATE: We breathed a sigh of relief when Miss Daisy had been in foster care for two months with no signs of being pregnant! Miss Daisy was returned to our shelter on January 29th since she was not pregnant and will soon be available for adoption. She was spayed on January 30, 2024 and was also given rabies vaccine. She weighed 8.4 lbs that day.

Coyote is a magnificent one-year old male kitty who was surrendered by his owner on March 23, 2024. This handsome boy has quite a background story which we will share with potential adopters: Coyote originally came to HSOV May 31, 2023 when he was a teeny tiny kitten. He had been heard crying and meowing somewhere in a field close to our shelter that day .. Thankfully our HSOV kennel techs were able to apprehend this tiny boy and bring him safely inside our shelter on June 1, 2023. Coyote was understandably a frightened little guy and didn't realize he was among his new best friends, but within a couple of weeks he began to trust our shelter staff. Coyote was always a bit apprehensive when his cage door was opened and would usually retreat to the back of his cage, but he was actually a friendly kitten who was just putting up a brave front. Coyote has a gray-and-white short coat, a long tail, and a beautiful face with golden eyes, a gray 'beauty mark' beside his tiny black nose, and a long white whiskers. Coyote was given vaccinations, wormer, and flea treatment on June 1, 2023. He weighed 1.6 lbs on June 2nd. Coyote was given booster vaccines on June 22, 2023. He was neutered on July 17, 2023 and was also given rabies vaccine. Coyote weighed 3.14 lbs. that day. Coyote was adopted on July 21, 2023 and spent eight months in his adoptive home but came back to our shelter on March 23, 2023. His family told us that he has been an exclusive indoor-only kitty. Coyote gets along with cat-friendly dogs. He did not share his home with other cats, and he has not had experience with children. Coyote will run/hide when he is scared. He is quite playful but prefers to play when he is alone or out-of-sight. These photos of Coyote were taken on March 24, 2024 in the HSOV Jungle Room (one of our cat adoption rooms). Coyote was cute as a kitten, and he has matured into a very handsome young man with a sweet, rather quite, personality. Coyote is a big boy these days who weighs approximately 12-13 lbs. Coyote is looking for another loving home with a family or individual who would give him the time to acclimate on his own schedule to his new home. He is also available for rescue.

Fireball is a cute one-year old kitten who was brought to HSOV on April 19, 2023 along with her three siblings (Bourbon, Moonshine, and Tequila) and her mother (Whiskey). Fireball and her siblings were tiny 5-day old babies at that time. This little family had a heartbreaking story. Whiskey was a happy, outgoing momma and all of her kittens were 'carbon copies' of their beautiful mother. Whiskey had health issues and, sadly, passed away on April 27, 2023 .. Leaving her four 2-week old unweaned babies with no mother. Fortunately one of our wonderful foster mothers picked up the orphaned kittens later that afternoon and gave them the care/bottlefeeding that they needed in order to survive. But tragedy again struck this little family when three of the kittens (Bourbon, Moonshine, and Tequila) passed away on June 5, 2023. By some miracle, little Fireball survived (and thrived) and has been enjoying life in her foster home for the past year. Fireball had a black short smooth with a small patch of white on her chest, a long fluffy tail, and an adorable face with green/gold eyes, a black velvet nose, and long black whiskers. Fireball was given vaccinations, wormer, and flea treatment on June 5, 2023. She was given booster vaccines on June 26, 2023. Fireball was spayed on March 19, 2024 and was also given rabies vaccine. She is a petite young lady who weighed 5.8 lbs that day. These photos were taken on March 19th after Fireball returned from her spay procedure and was waiting for her foster mother to pick her up to return to her home. Her foster family has nicknamed Fireball "Sunshine" since she loves to snooze and relax in sunny spots in their home. We have a feeling that Sunshine (aka Fireball) has already found her forever home (smile).

Meet Monty. He is a beautiful 4 year old boy who is not a needy cat, to the point of being aloof at times. He does have a curious and playful side to him that he will show on his terms (He is quite fond of chasing the red dot) Monty's desperately seeking a forever family. He enjoyed being in the community room at the shelter with other cats and had close companionship with some of them. One of them in particular is Marie. These two enjoyed cuddling up together in the cat beds in the room. Recently Marie and Monty were given the chance to be housed together at the SPOT Clinic. They are continuing to settle in and getting the chance to have more individual time spent with staff. Monty is FIV + and can live with other cats and provided they do not fight he should not spread the virus. Come meet this distinguished fella and speak with the staff on he can be adding to your life!

Say hello to this beautiful gal Jewel. Jewel is a 2 year old black tabby that is an alumni of the shelter but unfortunately found her way back to us in March after her owner passed away.

She is a quiet girl, uses her litter box religiously and is especially fond of temptation treats.

Meet Matilda, a 2 year old brown tabby who is awaiting her adoption day at PetSmart in Vienna. Matilda doesn't 100% know yet that she can trust humans, so when you first meet and go to pet her, she may flinch a little. But don't let that stop you, because when approached gently, she loves to be petted, loved on, and played with. We love this sweetheart and know that it won't be long before she becomes confident that she's in a safe place and will find her furever person. She has been spayed and has had all her shots, so if you would like to bring this sweet girl home, please fill out an application online at hsop.org, or in person at the shelter.

Cora and Winnie are a bonded pair. Both girls are sweet and enjoy the attention.
