Calico kittens & cats in Marion, Ohio

Hi! My name is Rue, people are easily drawn to my gorgeous looks but few take the time to understand me. I had a hard start to life, my mom, sister and I were found in a junkyard. In the junkyard I had to fight to survive. I was in constant fear. Luckily, I was recused and brought to CCC. When I first arrived I was terrified and would hiss at anyone who got near me, but during my time at CCC I've become more comfortable, even if I'm still hard to catch. I discovered how much fun it is to sit in boxes and just how much fun the kitty treadmill is for sleeping on. I'm still the most affectionate cat but with the help of other cats at CCC and the dedicated volunteers I'm slowly coming out of my shell. I'm looking for a home to call my own. Every day I dream of a nice quiet home for me to thrive in, one with lots of boxes and maybe even a human bed I can claim as my own. Could you be the person I'm waiting for?

DOB: 6/10/2024  Maple Syrup is as rich and golden in spirit as her name suggests. This beautiful calico has been through a lot — she arrived at the shelter with a large abdominal wound — but with gentle care and time, she’s healed and is now ready to pour her sweetness into a forever home. Like real maple syrup, she doesn’t rush. Maple Syrup is a bit shy, preferring slow approaches and soft voices, but for those patient enough to earn her trust, she offers a quiet, comforting kind of love that sticks with you long after the moment has passed. She’s looking for someone who understands that the best things in life take time — a calm home, kind hands, and a heart ready to let her sweetness flow. If you’re willing to move at her pace, Maple Syrup just might be the sweetest thing to ever come into your life.  Come meet me at the cage-free Adoption Center!

Meet Dr. Doofenshmirtz - aka Fitzgerald Noodlepop Doofenshmirtz 🧪🐾Species: CatBuild: Absolute unitOrigin story: Mysteriously live-trapped (probably while plotting)Dr. Doofenshmirtz arrived at the shelter via live trap, and while he may look like a criminal mastermind, the truth is… he’s a scared little fat freak with a heart of gold. He’s got the roundest, squishiest face you’ve ever seen—like someone tried to draw a perfect circle and accidentally made it adorable.Right now, Dr. D is shy and unsure of this whole “indoor life” situation. Loud noises? Suspicious. Sudden movements? Questionable. But give him a little time and a gentle voice and you’ll see the sweet side peek through. He’s soft. He’s gentle. He wants to trust you. He’s just processing a lot.Despite his intimidating chonk status, he’s a kind, tender boy who would do best in a calm home where he can decompress, snack responsibly (eventually), and continue his transformation from Street Cat to Couch Scientist.If you’re looking for a cat who is equal parts terrified, sweet, and delightfully rotund, Dr. Doofenshmirtz is ready to abandon his evil plans and choose love instead. 💚More information?

Keeps things exciting.What is consistent? His love for other cats. Simba absolutely adores his feline friends and would thrive in a home with another cat to help show him the ropes (and maybe translate human behavior for him).Simba is playful, curious, and full of personality, even if he’s still deciding how he feels about people. If you appreciate a cat with a little chaos, a lot of charm, and an ever-evolving relationship status, Simba might be your guy. 😼👑More information?
