Sardines is an adorable female kitten who was brought to the HSOV on October 15, 2025 by a Good Samaritan who found her on Hillcrest Drive in Marietta Ohio without a mother or siblings in sight.
Sardines was estimated to have been 7-weeks old at that time. She was a tiny baby who needed a little extra care/loving, so one of our amazing HSOV kennel techs offered her the hospitality of her home where Sardines could receive the care he needed.
This little sweetheart has a black short smooth coat with a few white hairs on her chest, a long tail, and a cute kitten face with golden eyes, a black velvet nose, and long black whiskers.
Sardines was given flea treatment on September 30, 2025. She was given vaccinations and Drontal wormer on December 30, 2025.
Sardines has a sweet, outgoing personality. While she was in her wonderful foster home, Sardines made the acquaintance of another small kitten (Mangle), and they quickly became best friends.
Sardines and Mangle were returned to HSOV in mid-January 2026, and they are continuing to share a large cage so that they may provide comfort/security and companionship for one another. We have listed them as a bonded pair since we feel that it is in their best interest to be adopted together.
Sardines and Mangle will be spayed in the near future (tentatively on February 9, 2026) and will be ready to find a loving home.
