Casper is an adorable male kitten who was brought to the HSOV on October 2, 2025 along with his mother (Fairytale) and his three siblings (Baby Bear, Baby Boo, and We-Be-Little). This little family was found on Forshey Road in the Marietta Ohio after momma Fairytale had given birth to her kittens on September 25th .. So they were tiny frail one-week old babies when they entered our shelter.
Fortunately for Casper and his family, our compassionate HSOV Shelter Manager offered Fairytale and her kittens a foster home the day they arrived. Casper, Baby Bear, and Baby Boo survived and were returned to our shelter in January 2026. Sadly, kitten We-Be-Little did not survive and passed away on November 28, 2025.
Casper has a buff-colored medium-haired coat, a long fluffy tail, and a precious kitten face with dark golden eyes, a splash of white on his muzzle, a pink nose, and long white whiskers.
Casper was given vaccinations on December 23, 2025 and was given booster vaccines on January 6th- and January 23rd 2026.
These photos were taken on February 12, 2026 when HSOV Kennel Techs Madison Lee and Hannah McClain assisted him with his 'big boy' pictures. Casper is quite the playboy and loved batting tiny toy balls around and exploring new territory in our Receiving Area.
Casper and his sister Baby Bear have shared a cage since returning to our shelter, and they provide comfort/security/companionship to each other.
Casper was neutered on February 13, 2026 and was also given rabies vaccine. He weighed 4.8 lbs that day.
Casper is ready to find a loving home of his very own~
