Calico kittens & cats in Ashland, Ohio

Meet Markie – The Queen of Disapproval and Cuddles! Have you ever wanted a cat who will adore you and silently judge your every move? Well, Markie is here to fulfill that dream! With her signature disapproving glare, this stunning gray dilute calico is an expert in the art of looking unimpressed—whether you’re serving her dinner (too slow), rearranging furniture (why?), or simply existing in her presence (tsk tsk). But don’t be fooled by her stern expression—underneath that gaze is a total sweetheart! Markie loves attention, enjoys being held, and will happily lean in for pets once she decides you’re worthy. She’s got a soft, plush coat perfect for snuggling, a round full belly that’s just begging for gentle pats, and a quiet but loving personality that will melt your heart. At 10.4 pounds, Markie is a bigger girl, which just means more of her to love! Markie has an estimated DOB of 1/16/2023, putting her just over 2 years old. She’s spayed, tested negative for feline leukemia/FIV, fully vaccinated, flea- and worm-free, and all-around ready to go to her forever home. She seems to get along well with laid-back kitty friends, so she’d make a great addition to a chill feline crew. Markie is waiting for a home where she can be pampered, admired, and occasionally roll her eyes at your life choices. Could it be yours?

Tiny, what a petite and sweet little girl. And so beautiful too. This sweetheart is shy at first but opens up when you spend some time with her. This little girl has been a favorite of mine, she's just a quiet unassuming sweetheart. Very low key too. She'd do best in a quiet home with adults or a family with older children.

she is so sweet with people, she loves to cuddle. as much as it kills me to rehome her, she doesn’t get along with my other cats. for the sake of her and my other cats I have to find a good home for her

Bella is a breathtaking calico girl with a story that stays with you long after you hear it. She is only three years old, yet she has already endured more than most cats ever should. Bella is a true rescue — a survivor through every struggle she has faced. She was rescued in the middle of a thunderstorm, her small body curled over her one and only kitten, shielding her baby from the rain as she lay in the leaves. Even in fear and exhaustion, Bella chose protection over herself. Shortly after coming into rescue, Bella’s body stopped producing milk. Her kitten had to be rushed to a tube feeder to survive. Though her baby lived, Bella’s heart quietly broke. She became withdrawn and sad — yet something beautiful emerged from her pain. Bella became fiercely protective of every kitten and young cat that entered the rescue, as if vowing no baby would ever feel unsafe again. Bella wants love. She truly does. She enjoys being petted and seeks affection, but when she becomes overstimulated, she may shy away or gently bat a hand — not out of meanness, but out of fear and uncertainty. Bella speaks “cat language” fluently, and she needs a human who understands it too. She is perfect with the litter box, using any kind of litter without issue. Bella also has a soft spot for dogs and absolutely adores the rescue’s mini poodle, showing us that she has room in her heart for gentle animal companions. We are searching for a very special adopter 🙏🏻— someone patient, kind, and willing to let Bella set the pace. Someone who understands that trust is earned, not demanded. Bella does not belong in a barn. She shows us more every day that she wants human connection, reassurance, and safety. She just needs to believe it will last. If you truly want to rescue — not just adopt — and change a cat’s life forever, Bella is the one. She deserves a second chance at a forever filled with patience, compassion, and quiet love. 🖤 Location: Copley Ohio

Meet April — A Gentle Heart in Search of Her Forever Home. April’s story is one of quiet transformation. When she first arrived at our sanctuary as a tiny springtime kitten, she was shy and uncertain, unsure of the world around her. But with time, love, and patience, this beautiful girl has blossomed into a sweet, tender companion — now she just needs the right home to complete her journey. April is a soft soul who thrives in the company of other calm, gentle cats. She absolutely adores snuggling with her feline friends, often curling up in a cozy pile for warmth, comfort, and companionship. She feels safest and happiest when she has a calm kitty companion by her side — and for that reason, we would love to see her adopted with a trusted shelter friend she already knows and loves. With people, April is shy at first — but once she trusts you, she enjoys gentle pets, quiet snuggles, and will reward your patience with soft purrs and affection. She isn’t a bold, outgoing cat, but she is incredibly loving in her own peaceful, steady way. Watching her bloom into a confident companion will be one of the most rewarding experiences for her future family. April’s Info: Born approximately 3/1/2024; Sleek black coat; Spayed; Up to date on vaccinations; Tested negative for Feline Leukemia and FIV; Flea-treated, dewormed, and healthy. April will do best in a calm home where she can continue to blossom at her own pace, surrounded by understanding people and maybe even a snuggly feline friend. She’s waited so patiently for someone to see the beauty and love she has to offer. Could that someone be you? Apply to meet April today: https://www.catsanctuaryashland.org/adoption-application

She can be timid but is also a cuddler!

Meet Bolognese! Bolognese is a female, short hair grey tiger with an estimated DOB of 5/8/2021. Bolognese and her sister Pesto have been with us about a year and a half. These sweet girls started off a little on the shy side which is probably the only reason some lucky family hasn't snatched them up already. They may need a little time to settle into new surroundings, but these girls would most certainly bring joy to a new family. Both of these ladies love the laser pointer and would do just about anything for their Temptation Puree treats! Sister Marinara has already found her forever home, now it's time for her sisters to do the same. Both sisters are spayed, tested negative for feline leukemia/FIV, fully vaccinated, wormed, fecal tested negative, flea prevention. If you think your home might be right for Bolognese, Pesto, or maybe both please fill out an application today! Https://www.catsanctuaryashland.org/application
