Story
Meet Lucy! This adorable young cat was found as a stray in 2018. We can't believe she has been waiting all these years for a forever home. Black cats are often overlooked. Lucy is petite with big, beautiful yellow eyes. She is a rough houser when it comes to play style, so she would be best in a home with older children. Fostered near Mansfield with other cats without issue. Adoption fee is $50. Lucy is spayed, UTD on vaccines, microchipped, & Leuk/FIV negative. Adoption application and home visit required.

Story
Fannie is a Short Hair & Silver Mix, Adult, Female with Gray / Blue / Silver coloring. Fannie would prefer a home without other cats, dogs, or children. Fannie and her family were surrendered to us in the Spring of 2018. Their owner became extremely ill and could not care for them any longer. Fannie is estimated to have been born March 2012, and is a very gorgeous grey/blue soft tiger stripe female with short hair. Fannie takes her time to trust you. She would not be good in a home with other pets, or small children. If a low key cat is already in the home, she may be ok. She absolutely loves her treats! Fannie is house-trained and has been tested for FeLV/FIV, spayed, fully vaccinated, and receives flea prevention monthly.

Story
Tabby - Adult - Female - Medium - Tabby (Orange / Red) Petal is house-trained. Petal's Health: her vaccinations are up to date and she is spayed. She would prefer a home without dogs or children. Petal, and her siblings (Flower, Pepper, Spicer, Poppy) and their mother Blossom were living behind a storage shed at a local downtown business. This was not a safe place for all these little ones to be running around. So we got the call and went and collected all but Flower and momma. They came the next day in a live trap. Petal is a gorgeous orange tabby. She has deep classic wide stripes and soft fur. Petal has been with us for a few years now and she is quite shy. She will come up to investigate you but is easily startled so a patient adopter is needed. She is a very pretty girl who we think will eventually come around and be a loving girl with some time and a home of her own. She gets along quite well with most of the other kitties in the building so we think she would be fine with another cat. She has been tested for feline leukemia and FIV but would need to be updated on vaccines at her adoption. Please contact the Cat House Feline Sanctuary at 419-289-3658.

Story
My story begins when I was adopted a couple of years ago - things were fantastic, no issues at all - we all loved each other. THEN IT ARRIVED! Carpet was installed and I didn't like it at all and you can imagine what I did. Something about the smell of that new carpet did not sit well with me. I was acting out against the carpet and I guess that was bad, but I didn't like it at all! Now I am here at the cat sanctuary and looking for a new family that likes bare floors like me. I'm a loving cat with a pretty chill personality, I love meeting new people and don't mind other kitties...my one vice is that I do really love my kitty nip! Give me a little kitty nip, maybe a few treats and I'll be your best buddy for life! So glad I am given a 2nd chance, but it will have to be with someone with a little patience....and no carpet. My name is Mosley and I'd love to meet you - you can fill out an adoption application here: https://www.catsanctuaryashland.org/application

Story
Hey Everyone, I am Mulan. I was found in a barn - we're guessing most likely dropped off there since I have a club foot (left front). Some folks don't want a cat that is not perfect I guess, but I think I am! I love to play with spinning toys and get along quite well with the cats here at the cat sanctuary. I also adore being petted! My favorite place is the laundry room! So if you need someone to help you with the laundry - I'm waiting to meet you! There is nothing like sleeping up high and watching the action down below. I also love to sleep in cubbies and cardboard boxes - shoot I guess I just like the security of my own space. I am still quite young with an est. DOB 6/24/17, my shots are up to date, I'm spayed, and I'm FIV/FeLV negative. If you are looking for a cat that sure could use her own home - it's me I'm Mulan!
