Story
Tizzy, girl, we are trying so hard to sell you here 😭🐈‍⬛Listen. We genuinely do not understand why nobody has scooped up Tizzy yet. This woman has been with us for ELEVEN WEEKS now. That is nearly THREE MONTHS. A whole quarter of a year spent sharing space with approximately 20 other cats, surviving on communal chaos, limited lap availability, and staff members who are trying their best but cannot physically provide the 24/7 worship she clearly believes she deserves 😔💔And yeah. Okay. Fine. Tizzy is weird.Like… *deeply* weird. Offbeat. A little uncanny valley. Built like she was handcrafted out of clay by a stressed-out art student with a Tim Burton obsession 🖤🎬She likes butt smacks. LOVES them, actually. Demands them. Craves them. And if you stop petting her before she has spiritually completed the experience, she will play bite your hand in protest (with love, no bandaids required*) 🙄✋🦷 Heaven forbid a woman have hobbies. Heaven forbid she know what she wants.And look — are we saying Tizzy is the most perfect cat alive? No ❤️She’s a little off in the noggin. There’s definitely elevator music playing upstairs at all times. But honestly? That is part of the charm. She’s black and white, chunky in the way that makes you want to grab her little sides and go “oh my GOD,” and while she technically coexists with other cats, we suspect she would maybe enjoy life more if she wasn’t constantly surrounded by lawless juvenile delinquents disguised as kittens 😭🐾Tizzy deserves a home where she can fully embrace her bizarre little passions. A home where someone understands that sometimes love looks like a cat staring at you ominously from across the room because you dared to portion-control her dinner 👁️👁️🍽️Honestly we adore this cat more than words can explain. She is strange. She is offputting. She is oddly beautiful. She looks like she crawled directly out of a stop-motion film and into our hearts.Please come adopt her before she comes for us for limiting snack access 😰🫶Tizzy's adoption fee is $75.Tizzy is vaccinated including Rabies, tested negative for Felv/FIV, flea & tick treated, given dewormer, spayed, and will be microchipped before adoption. Our cat adoption process is open and straightforward! Stop by the shelter to meet our wonderful cats and find the one that steals your heart. Adoptions are handled on a first-come, first-adopt basis. We're open Tuesday through Friday from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM and Saturday from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Please arrive at least 30 minutes before closing to ensure enough time to complete the adoption process. 🐾💕We're open Monday through Friday 12-5 pm and Saturday 11-3 pm. We're located at 9331 State Route 124 Hillsboro, OH. Our adoption is open and easy, please come to the shelter to meet the animals in person to adopt.
