Story
Yuki is a great loving cat. He loves to be petted and rubbed on. He’s a real lover boy,and is good with other cats. He takes some time to warm up to things. But once he does, he loves it. He loves meeting strangers and getting petted by them as well. He has no adversión towards strangers or new people. When he doesn’t like something he will hiss but he’s all talk and no bite. He’s never once had any problems with people. He will definitely thrive in a single pet household, but still does well with other animals once he gets used to them. I got a kitten and threw off my cats heirsrchy and he started having problems with my other older cat. After a long and hard decision I decided the best thing for his and my other cats life would be permanent separation so that they can enjoy their lives to the fullest.

Story
Bean is a big, solid-black cat with a broad chest, a round belly, and a coat as dark as midnight. His story began on a dusty country road, where he was cruelly dumped from a truck at the edge of a farm. Frightened and confused, he didn’t have to fend for himself for long—within moments, a kind-hearted farmer scooped him up and carried him to safety. He traded uncertainty for warm shelter and a belly full of food. He has a $100 adoption fee. All cats adopted through our rescue are age appropriately vaccinated including rabies & FVRCP/Feline Leukemia vaccines, dewormed & free of fleas, combo tested (negative unless otherwise noted), microchipped and spayed/neutered before adoptions are finalized. We also have a cat cafe full of friendly, furry faces -- Whiskers Catnip Cottage in Granville! If you would like to adopt, please fill out the application through the link or the website at www.whiskersofohio.org. You will receive an email confirmation when your application is received; if you do not, please double check that all questions on the application were answered and that your email is correct! We make no breed guarantees; we are a rescue, not a breeder. Please apply only if you are committed to adopting! Our workers are all volunteers and it takes time to process applications. We are a registered, volunteer run 501c3 non-profit organization.

Story
Crab is a stocky little orange boy with a big personality and a tail that bends at a crooked angle from an old break he got as a kitten. The kink gives him a permanent question-mark silhouette, as if he’s always curious about the world—and he is. Small but fearless, Crab rules his home with bright amber eyes, a sandy-pink nose, and a purr that sounds like a tiny motorboat. He earned his name from the way he sometimes scuttles sideways when he’s feeling playful (or dramatic). Though his tail never healed quite straight, it wags proudly when he’s happy, twitches when he’s hunting fur bunnies, and curls awkwardly around him when he naps in a warm patch of sunlight. Crooked tail and all, Crab carries himself like a lion—proof that a little bend in the road only adds character. The adorable little guy has a $125 adoption fee. All cats adopted through our rescue are age appropriately vaccinated including rabies & FVRCP/Feline Leukemia vaccines, dewormed & free of fleas, combo tested (negative unless otherwise noted), microchipped and spayed/neutered before adoptions are finalized. We also have a cat cafe full of friendly, furry faces -- Whiskers Catnip Cottage in Granville!

We make no breed guarantees; we are a rescue, not a breeder. Please apply only if you are committed to adopting! Our workers are all volunteers and it takes time to process applications. We are a registered, volunteer run 501c3 non-profit organization. We do have the ability to fly a cat or pair of kittens via Southwest's SWATT program to any location served by Southwest Airlines. It isn't free but has been a great way to transport animals in a timely manner.
