Story
I am posting this for my mom Joyce Gary and her brother Doug has gone into assisted living. Sissy is his cat and no one in the family can take Sissy due to allergies. We talked with the Licking County Humane Society in Newark, Ohio and they cannot take Sissy so we got Rehome by Adopt A Pet from them. Thank you and please be in touch with my mom, Joyce Gary, whose contact information is part of this application. She lives in Newark, Ohio and will have access to the cat. Thank you. Jen Powers

Story
Spoily was my dad’s cat. He passed away. She is about 10 years old. She is very large. We don’t pick her up because of her size so unsure if she likes to be held. She is otherwise friendly. We need to find her a home ASAP as we have to move everything out of the house. Unfortunately I cannot keep her d/t severe allergies.

Story
Slick is about 6 yrs old. He showed up at my house after a rainstorm and wouldn't leave so I had him neutered and his shots. He loves dogs and kids but isn't good with other cats. My other cats never accepted him and he is always fighting with one of them especially my other male who is also neutered. He started spraying recently and I think it is because of the other cats. He didn't do this at first. He is very loving with my dogs and people. If I had a barn I would make him stay outside, but I don't so I deal with his bad behavior. I don't want any money for him, I just want him to have a good home.

Story
Jeanne is our longest resident currently. She's been with us over a year and has had some challenges. She went into foster care since she doesn't get along with the other cats at the ARC but she didn't do any better there. She came back to us and we would love nothing more than to place her in a home with someone that is looking for a loving, affectionate cat but ideally no other cats in the home. She loves people and would make a great lapcat for someone that needs companionship after a long, hard day at the office. She is absolutely gorgeous!! You can meet Jeanne at The ARC 16 S Main St, Mt Gilead

I mean I think I'm pretty magical but I don't know any tricks. Well unless you consider playing on cat trees, running like mad and chasing springs and balls all day long tricks of any kind?? I came to the HSofMC as an orphan last year and my siblings have all left for their new homes but I remain. It's okay I know that special family is out there just waiting for me to bring some Magic to their home. I'm fine with dogs, super outgoing, curious and playful. I was born in august of 2023 so not a year old yet. You can meet me at The ARC 16 S Main St, Mt Gilead. can't wait to meet you, Magic

Story
My name is Basil and I'm patiently awaiting a new family. I was rescued from right in front of Groovy Plants. You know the cool plant place that folks come from far and wide to visit? I was named after a favorite herb plant myself. Pretty cool huh? Well I've learned a lot during my tenure here at the HSofMC but it's time to move on to bigger and better things. A family to love, a home to settle in and arms to cuddle with. I get along with other cats, not dog tested, good with all people including children. I'm affectionate but quiet. You can visit me at The ARC at 16 S Main St. Mt Gilead. Can't wait to meet you!!
