Story

I brought her back from Hawaii when I was there for work. She was part of one of the many cat colonies on the island. Was about 16 weeks when I first got her. Nervous at first but WILL warm up. Loves to sleep with you when she feels at home. I have 4 other cats and they beat up on her…One male in particular. Not sure why. It’s not fair to her and I feel bad. I have given it plenty of time and it Just seems to be getting Worse. I love her and it breaks my heart. I Want her to be happy. She’s a good kitty but spends a lot of her time hiding behind the dryer because she’s so stressed out.

Story

Dad was found with his girlfriend and two kittens in an unsafe area by S IH-35. He got along well with his girlfriend and kittens, but they were scooped up and found homes. Dad was fixed and put back on the streets before anyone noticed how friendly he was! A nice human stepped in and noticed his health was deteriorating outside and had no constant source of food or water. He was taken inside to focus on his health. Turns out, he LOVES being around people! Dad thinks toys are ok but prefers getting pets and sitting next to a loving human or snuggling at night! Although Dad tested positive for FIV (weakened immune system), FIV cats tend to have normal life spans when cared for and the majority never experience complications. FIV is only transmitted to other cats through blood transfusions and serious penetrating bite wounds. FIV cannot be transmitted to humans or other animals. Dad would be the healthiest as an indoor cat but a bonus to have access to an enclosed outdoor space.

Story

Percy is 5 months (born September 2). He's a very sweet, loving, and affectionate boy. He's playful (climbing & parkour apparently lol), fairly verbal. Loves to cuddle & be with his brother. I would prefer to keep them together, but he'd be okay with his person or with a friend!

Story

I'm a Tortie without the 'tude. I wait my turn for treats and loves. I was an outdoor cat for at least a few years. I was brought inside and once I realized that I no longer had to worry about finding shelter in the winter or in the rain and always had fresh water and food, I began to really like it inside. I was always friendly with the humans but now I could snuggle on nice soft blankets, beds, pillows...it was amazing. I used to catch lots of mice and even some birds but I'm learning that catching my tail is so much more fun. I love to play with ball towers and cat teasers, too. I was never able to be a kitten...had to grow up fast. I even get along with the big dogs that live here, too! The people who took me in are very nice but since they took my kittens and I in, they're stretched thin. They already had many cats before we got there. They love us but we need more room (& lots more scritches)! There are others of us who need furever homes as well (but I'm the most bestest!)

Story

Ed is an 11 year old (going on 12) male cat. He is a goofy character and really misses having a playmate. Because he is lonely and bored, he has been vocal and getting into some mischief. If you give him some kindness and understanding he will eventually ask to be little spoon and take naps with you. He would prefer not to be separated from his human or playmate and can get a little anxious. He is up to date on his vet records and is a healthy guy looking for the right environment. I would be happy to work on a slow introduction. I love him and want the best for him. We are located in Upper Arlington!

Story

Pallas is sweet and loving. I adopted her about 3 years ago, but I’m renting and my landlord won’t allow a pet. She’s great with my mom’s two smaller dogs and cat - we lived in the home with them for two years and she loved hanging out with the dogs! She likes to be held and will cuddle up with you on the sofa. She’s vocal and likes to have chats, which makes her great company for a single person. She’s well behaved, litter trained and not a scratcher.
