Calico kittens & cats in Piqua, Ohio

Hi, I'm Bubbles! I got my name after a funny mishap at a car wash where I was playing hide and seek in a soap bubble mountain. Next thing I knew, I hitched a ride in a suds bucket straight to the shelter! Here, I'm the reigning champ of hide and seek. I'm a smart, playful kitten who loves to solve puzzles and chase toys. Looking for a bubbly companion to bring joy and laughter to your home? Adopt me, and let's make every day a playful adventure!Note from Paws humans: Bubbles really did come to us from a local car wash! How on earth such a tiny kitten ended up there is a mystery, but we're glad she came to us. She's a sweet little thing and would be a wonderful addition to any family.

Say hello to MATTIE! -Adult (~3-5 years) -Dedicated biscuit maker -Powerful purr and sandpaper kisses! -A bit of an enigma, afraid of life itself -This kitty has behavioral considerations and will require medications and a special diet Mattie came into rescue very shut down, and has made some slow but steady progress in foster care with a calm environment and gentle routine, but her emotional comfort zone remains…contained. Literally. Fostering Mattie brings irony to the concept of foster home based rescue, considering the whole point is so that cats don't have to remain isolated, but solitude is truly Mattie's safe space: she has a single spare room all to herself, and will not come out of it. She’ll need a very special adopter; someone with a bounty of both time and patience to help unravel this fuzzy little ball of neuroticism. (And handling skills, as we would not consider her the easiest kitty to medicate, and the sensitive tummy makes for secretly medicated treats a challenge). Mattie lives with SIGNIFICANT anxiety that makes new environments and people overwhelming for her. She is very easily stressed and now that she is finally starting to become a bit more “cat-like” in her foster environment, we are eager to send her off to blossom in her forever environment. Despite her persistent state of “I Am Afraid,” she is truly soft at heart. She greets her food with enthusiasm, is passionate about fuzzy blankies, enjoys birdwatching from her cat tree, and is also a fan of chin scritchies and brushies. She has a proud purr and quite impressively (and perhaps slightly unsettingly) large eyeballs. Mattie’s anxiety does not actually present itself in a fractious nature; she doesn’t bite, she just hides when overwhelmed. Mattie wouldn’t hurt a fly. In fact, she is probably afraid of them. She is otherwise in good health, fully vaccinated, spayed, and also recently had her teeth cleaned.   What kind of home does Mattie need? -Quiet and low-stress -Patient and observant -Experienced with or open to supporting a behaviorally complex cat with medication needs -Okay with a cat who may always be a bit of a nervous nellie Just think of Mattie as the embodiment of “introvert energy.” Her current routine consists of liquid gabapentin by mouth twice daily, transdermal fluoxetine in the morning, and a hydrolyzed diet to keep her anxious tummy happy. So if you’re patient, motivated by even the tiniest progress, and emotionally fluent in “cat,” Mattie might just be your tiny, ghost-eyed soulmate.  Included with the adoption is the kitty's spay, all current-due FVRCP, FeLeuk, and rabies vaccinations for kitties over 1-year, deworming, flea treatment, a wellness check, FIV/FeLV combo testing, and microchipping. We offer a 2-week getting acquainted period and a 2-week wellness guarantee, so you can comfortably settle in with your new kitty!

I have had Sasha since 2019. She was found infested with fleas outside in the alley when she was about a week old. I received her from my sister who found her when she was about four months old and she lived with a Chihuahua who she got along with. Sasha has always been a scared cat always wanted to be alone. Her anxiety was so bad she was scratching so I had to declaw her. She’s fixed and she is a committed loyal cat. She doesn’t like a lot of noise and she has been inside CAT ever since I homed her. Sasha is my baby and unfortunately, she needs a new home.

Born on May 7, 2023. Has 5 other siblings.* All are ready for adoption. Never been outside - flea free. Eating hard cat food. Weaned. Litterbox trained. I am NOT 100% certain of the sex of the kittens so make sure to double check before finalizing the adoption. "Are dilute calico cats rare? Yes, even female dilute calico cats are rare. As we saw above, only one in every 1,000 cats is born a standard calico and dilute calico cats are that much harder to come by. One of the reasons for this is that the dilution gene is what’s known as a recessive gene. That means that a more dominant gene can mask it and a kitten would need to inherit the dilution gene from both parents in order to be born a dilute calico. "...- so, consider yourself very lucky indeed if you become the pet parent to one of these beauties." https://www.petsradar.com/advice/dilute-calico-cat

We adopted Grimmy as a kitten in November 2025. He is incredibly sweet, playful, and loves to play fetch with toy mice or feathered toys. Grimmy is bonded with our young female cat who is also listed for adoption, Helly. We strongly prefer that they be adopted together. They are both fully vaccinated, neutered/spayed, and have full documentation of all vet visits. Grimmy is chipped, Helly is not. They love our 9-year-old autistic son, and are not at all bothered by his often loud vocalizing, heavy footsteps, etc. These are amazing, well-mannered, pampered cats who are accustomed to being well taken care of. We intend to live in a camper full time for up to a year and it isn't practical or fair to them to try to make that work. We are determined that they go to a home that will love and care for them as they're used to.

Stan is a loving and tolerant guy, looking for a home with lots of time to give him attention! You can rub his belly safely, carry him, even throw him around if you want, he's just happy to be with someone. If interested, he would come with everything needed to take care of a cat. Carrier, litter box, water fountain, food bowl, and some toys and treats and food.
