My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hoppy Hopscotch is a beautiful female kitten who was brought to the HSOV on March 10, 2025 by a Good Samaritan who found her on Veto Circle in the Belpre Ohio area along with her four siblings (Bobby Bear Hug, Catnap, Crafty Corn, and Picky Piggy) and her mother (Poppy). Hoppy Hopscotch and her brother/sisters were tiny 2-week old babies at that time. Momma Poppy was apparently homeless and doing her best to take care of her babies. Mother cats are often the unsung heroines of the animal world .. In addition to our HSOV kennel techs who also take care of the innocent, helpless souls who enter our shelter.

Hoppy Hopscotch has a dark brown tabby medium-haired coat with a patch of white on her chin/throat, a long tail, and an adorable kitten face with golden eyes, a brown velvet nose, a splash of white on her muzzle, and long white whiskers.

Hoppy Hopscotch was given vaccinations and wormer on May 9, 2025. She weighed 1.9 lbs that day. Hoppy Hopscotch was given booster vaccines on May 20, 2025 and weighed 2.6 lbs.

Momma Poppy faithfully took care of her kittens and raised them in a double-wide cage for two months. All five of her babies survived and are now happy, playful kittens. Poppy was separated from them in early May after they were weaned. Hoppy Hopscotch and her siblings are currently enjoying an extra-large tower in the lobby of our shelter where they engage in silly kitten games and snuggle up for group naps.

Their mother Poppy is currently in our Jungle Room where she is usually seen taking leisurely catnaps .. Poppy has an outgoing personality and quickly comes to the door of her cage the moment she anticipates attention (or a temptation treat). Poppy was spayed on May 12, 2025 and was also given rabies vaccine, so she is ready to find a fabulous home.

These photos of Hoppy Hopscotch were taken on May 16, 2025 while she scampered around our 'studio' and inspected the kitten toys and baskets being used as photo props. Hoppy especially loved a tiny toy white bear dressed in a frilly pink dress.

Hoppy Hopscotch and her siblings will be spayed/neutered (tentatively in mid-June 2025) and will soon be ready to find homes of their very own. Naturally we'd love to see them adopted with one (or more) of their siblings since kittens do so much better in pairs/trios.

Rescue groups may contact our HSOV Feline Rescue Coordinator via email (sharonpaul2@suddenlink.net). We can usually help with transportation.

Update: Hoppy Hopscotch was spayed on July 7, 2025 and was also given rabies vaccine. She weighed 4.4 lbs that day.
