Calico kittens & cats in Athens, Ohio

Stella is a beautiful female Calico kitten who was surrendered by her owner on July 24, 2025 along with her two sisters (Meeko and RJ) and her brother (Hammy). The kittens were 4-months old at that time. Stella has a black/orange/white short smooth coat in a calico pattern, a long tail, and a classic black/orange Calico face with golden eyes, a wide orange stripe on her muzzle/forehead, and long white whiskers. Stella was spayed on September 23, 2025 and was also given rabies vaccine. She weighed 5 lbs that day. Stella and her siblings dearly love each other, but they are still working on their social skills with regard to their people friends. They have made progress in our shelter since their arrival, but they are not yet ready to be held in your arms or snuggle up on your lap. We believe that they would do much better in a home environment with a family or individual who has the experience/patience to let them acclimate to their new home (realizing they may choose to hide for awhile until you gain their trust). The siblings have been separated into pairs so that they will have a best friend for comfort/security: [Stella & Meeko] and [Hammy & RJ] Stella and her sister Meeko (a beautiful Chocolate Point Siamese kitten) are sharing a cage and are quite compatible. They are being listed as a bonded pair and will be required to be adopted together.

I took Honey in over the summer to give her a temporary home while her owner found new housing. The owner is not returning to get her. She is house trained from her previous home and has a litter box on my deck. She will not leave my deck - ever. I am allergic and cannot have her inside. She is declawed which means its urgent I get her into a home - and it is getting very cold. I have provided her shelter outside but she needs a new home please! She purs constantly and eats like a horse. She will tolerate dogs that do not mess with her. She is a lap cat :)

Gaia came in with a group of 9. She was the only calico in the mix! While she was shy at first, Gaia has quickly become one of the sweetest and cuddliest kittens. She’s very playful and needs a home with another cat but she also enjoys quiet nap times and warm beds. She would love a nice warm home with someone who’s ready to cuddle and play!
