Sophie Mae is a 9-year old female kitty who was surrendered to HSOV on December 15, 2024 with her best friend Ollie for a very sad reason .. Their mistress (who had loved them dearly) was in hospice care and could no longer take care of her beloved cats .. And she passed away a few days later knowing that Sophie and Ollie were safely in our shelter and would be loved by our kennel techs and eventually would find another special someone to give them a good home. Sophie Mae has a brown tabby medium-haired coat with a large patch of white on her chest, a long fluffy tail, and a beautiful face with golden eyes, nice 'ear furnishings', a brown velvet nose and long white whiskers. Her birthday is July 5, 2015. Sophie Mae has a friendly, rather demure, personality. Sophie Mae was given vaccinations, wormer, and flea treatment on December 15, 2024. She is a petite little lady who weighed 6 lbs that day. Sophie was given booster vaccines on December 29, 2024. These photos of Sophie Mae were taken on January 4, 2025. Thanks to HSOV Kennel Tech Rachel Elizabeth for lovingly holding Sophie in her arms for pictures of her beautiful face. Sophie was a very frightened little girl in her cage but, thanks to Rachel's gentle touch, she was able to relax and feel safe with her. We look forward to the day when we can take Sophie Mae's glamour photos in our 'studio' with her soulmate Ollie. Sophie Mae has not yet been spayed, so she will be spayed in the near future (tentatively in late January 2025) after being examined by a veterinarian to ensure that she can safely undergo the procedure since she is technically a 'senior citizen'. Sophie Mae and Ollie are being listed as a Bonded Pair since we feel that it is in their best interest to be adopted together. Sophie Mae especially depends upon Ollie for a sense of comfort/security. They are sharing a small cage and are truly soulmates. And with all longtime couples, Sophie Mae can be a bit sassy with Ollie if he's doing something to annoy her. Thanks to HSOV Lead Feline Kennel Tech Lauryn Hamilton for that observation (smile). Sophie Mae and Ollie are litterbox trained, and they get along with other cats. Note: Ollie and Sophie Mae went home with a foster mother on February 5, 2025 so that they may enjoy a real home environment instead of a shelter cat tower. They are still available for adoption.

Carrot is a sweet one-year old male kitty who was surrendered by his owner on March 21, 2025. This handsome young man has a brown tabby short smooth coat, a long ringed tail, and a beautiful face with golden eyes, a dusting of white on his muzzle, a brown velvet nose, and long white whiskers. Carrot has a super-sweet personality. He is understandably a frightened boy being in a cage by himself in an unfamiliar place with people that he does not yet realize are his new best friends (our compassionate HSOV Kennel Techs) who love him already. His owner told us that Carrot is good with children but didn't know how he felt about other cats or dogs. Carrot is housetrained and uses his litterbox. Carrot was given vaccinations, wormer, and flea treatment on March 21, 2025. He is a fairly big boy who weighed 11.8 lbs that day. Carrot has already been neutered, so he could go home with his new family immediately with an approved HSOV adoption application. Carrot 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.

This adorable litter of kittens (Banban, Nabnab, Opila & Truffletoot) were brought to the HSOV on March 12, 2025 along with their beautiful mother (Banbaleena) after they were found in Marietta Ohio. The kittens were tiny 2-week old babies at that time, and their mother raised them to be happy, healthy youngsters in our shelter (with a little help from our compassionate HSOV Kennel Techs). There are two little boys (Banban & Nabnab) and two little girls (Opila & Truffletoot). Banban & Nabnab are currently sharing a double-wide cage in our Jungle Room. The boys are nearly identical twins, but when you look at them more closely you'll see that Banban has a solid black coat while Nabnab has a small patch of white on his chest. Opila & Truffletoot are currently sharing a double-wide cage in our Jungle Room. Opila has a brown/cream coat in a Torbie pattern. Truffletoot has a solid black coat. The kittens were given first vaccines on May 9, 2025 and have been given wormer. Each of the kittens were spayed/neutered on May 12, 2025 and were also given rabies vaccine. Their weights that day were as follows: Banban (2.8 lbs) Nabnab (2.2 lbs) Opila (2.6 lbs) Truffletoot (2.9 lbs) These little sweethearts are ready to find fabulous homes. Naturally we'd love to see them adopted together since kittens do much better in pairs. Note: The kittens' mother (Banbaleena) was also spayed on May 12th. She is sharing a triple-cage in our Jungle Room with her sister (Strudel). Banbaleena and Strudel (both tortoiseshell kitties) are listed as a bonded pair since we feel that it is in their best interest to remain together.
