Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Sugar was a stray who found herself  pregnant and in need. Her foster took her in so she could safely finish raising  her babies. She has now been in her foster home for almost a year now.  She is spayed up to date on vaccines and preventatives, and microchipped. Sugar has really taken to the indoor cat life. She is sweet and loves her humans. She enjoys a good head scratch and attention  from her people. One of her favorite  things to do is lay in front of the window and watch the world go by. She does well with the children in the foster home, however  has not been tested with other cats or dogs. She would likely be fine with them as long as they are respectful  of her boundaries  and let her be the independent cat she is.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 1:53 pm

Story
Meet Theo! I am currently in a foster home, so I`ll need to have an arranged meet and greet to meet me! Reported from his foster home, Theo is shy and timid at first, he does take some time to build trust. He would do best in a calmer home that is looking for a lap cat, or someone to enjoy peaceful days with. Loud noises spook mr Theo. He would adore his humans, and feline friends alike! Theo dreams of a quiet, easy going home with his human and feline friends. He`d even do well with a smaller sized dog, he hasn`t been exposed to any large ones though. Theo is looking for his furever home, could that be with you?

Story
Meet this handsome orange boy! At just 1 year old, he’s still learning that indoor life—and people—can be pretty great. He can be a little shy at first, especially after spending time outdoors, but give him a moment to settle in and you’ll see his true personality shine.Once he feels safe, he is incredibly sweet and absolutely melts in your arms. Being held is one of his favorite things, and he’ll happily soak up all the gentle love you’re willing to give. And if you really want to win him over? Wet food is the way to his heart—this boy is a total sucker for it!He’s looking for a patient, loving home that will give him the time he needs to fully come out of his shell. In return, you’ll get a soft, affectionate companion who just wants to be close to his people.Meet me at the Columbus Cat Cafe!
