***Could be an inside only, inside/outside, or outside only cat*** Meet Wallabie, Wombat & Capybara 🐱🐱🐱 Three brothers. Six months old. Fifty days in rescue. And still waiting for someone to see the quiet sweetness in them. These handsome boys came to us from an outdoor situation almost two months ago. They are litterbox trained, healthy, and gentle — just very shy. They aren’t mean, spicy, or grumpy… they simply prefer to keep their distance from people. When unsure, they hide rather than hiss. 💙 We’ve been working with them consistently, but shelter life can be overwhelming. So many new faces every day makes it hard for timid cats to truly relax. The kind of progress they need is most likely to happen in a home where they see the same patient person every day and can learn at their own pace. They would do best with someone who understands that not every cat wants to be a lap cat — and that’s okay. They could potentially thrive as: 🏡 Indoor-only cats in a quiet home 🌤️ Indoor/outdoor cats 🚜 Barn, porch, or shop cats with safe shelter and care They are: ✔️ Neutered ✔️ FeLV/FIV negative ✔️ Fully vaccinated (including Rabies) ✔️ Flea & tick treated ✔️ Microchipped upon adoption Because they’ve been with us for 50 days and need a home environment to continue blossoming, we’ve lowered their adoption fee to $40 each to help them find their person sooner rather than later. Sometimes the quiet ones just need someone willing to give them time. If you have room in your heart (and maybe a cozy barn, porch, or peaceful home), one of these brothers could be the perfect fit. 🐾💛 Let’s get these shy boys out of the shelter and into a place they can finally feel safe. Our cat adoption process is open and straightforward! Stop by the shelter to meet our wonderful cats and find the one that steals your heart. Adoptions are handled on a first-come, first-adopt basis. We're open Tuesday through Friday from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM and Saturday from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Please arrive at least 30 minutes before closing to ensure enough time to complete the adoption process. 🐾💕We're open Monday through Friday 12-5 pm and Saturday 11-3 pm. We're located at 9331 State Route 124 Hillsboro, OH. Our adoption is open and easy, please come to the shelter to meet the animals in person to adopt.
