Story
Got Raven when she was about a year old, mostly feral from a local shelter. She has been with me for 3.5 years. My partner helped to domestic her. She can be held, likes head and chin scratches, can hold to cut nails, LOVES cat nip and churu treats. Comes to her name if she knows you and or you have treats. We can no longer keep her as whenever she doesn’t get her way she will find our other older cat and beat her up, often times working herself into a fit and vomiting. Would be best as the only cat in the home. Like to sit on her persons lap and sleep with periodically in bed with her person. The calming collars work well on her as she get very anxious whenever there is anything new and will vomit. Very playful and like to be included in around the house activities( she will come sit in the kitchen on the floor and watch me cook) likes to sit at dinning room chairs when we are eating! She doesn’t scratch furniture or eat cords and can be convinced plants are bad to eat.

Story
Merlin was found as a friendly stray with an injured leg -- he was checked out by a vet and no broken bones; believed to have had a sprain. He is recovering great and walking well on it again. He is a sweet boy, about 8 months old -- he's going to be a big boy! Merlin has a $125 adoption fee. All cats adopted through our rescue are age appropriately vaccinated including rabies & FVRCP/Feline Leukemia vaccines, dewormed & free of fleas, combo tested (negative unless otherwise noted), microchipped and spayed/neutered before adoptions are finalized. If you would like to adopt, please fill out the application through the link or the website at -www.whiskersofohio.org - please note that the "I'm interested" tab on Petfinder does NOT act as an application, this should only be used for specific questions before committing to an adoption. You will receive an email confirmation when your application goes through. We make no breed guarantees, we are a rescue, not a breeder. Please only apply for a specific kitten if you are committed to adopting! Our workers are all volunteers and it takes time to process applications. We are a registered, volunteer run 501c3 non-profit organization. Free transport is regularly available to Wayne/Holmes County areas! We do have the ability to fly a cat or pair of kittens via Southwest's SWATT program to any location served by Southwest Airlines. It isn't free but has been a great way to transport animals in a timely manner.

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
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.
