Story
Teddy Bear must be adopted by a previous owner of a Himalayan or Persian cat. He requires a predictable, adult home only. No children or other pets, no exception! He was abused before coming into the rescue and will need time to slowly adjust to his new home to build trust. We prefer he stay in Columbus as we have a groomer he likes and trusts to groom him and cut his nails. When rescued, he had major ear issues, Due to severe damage, part of his left ear had to be removed and the other fixed. He is healed and is doing great, but does need regular ear maintenance. Once he knows you and fels safe he is very loving. He will find your lap, give you hugs and cuddle. If you cannot fulfill all his requirements, do not apply. He's had so much unhappiness in his life we won't risk sending him where he isn't cherished and loved. If interested in giving Teddy Bear his forever safe, indoor home, please email the rescue for an adoption application at ccrescue614@yahoo.com. One of our volunteers will send you one ASAP. YOU CAN ONLY MEET CAT(S) AFTER SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION AND BEING APPROVED TO ADOPT!

Story
Gather 'round, folks, 'cause I've got a story for ya. It's about a cat, not just any cat. A plump little lady with a soft spot for dried salmon treats and pizazz that will blow your mind . The name's Maddie, a beauty in a fitted tuxedo. She's got spunk, she's got class, she's got it All!She's not a run-of-the-mill cat 'lemme tell ya, Maddie sways to the rhythm of her own drum. At 6 years young, she pounces and plays like a cat half her age. Spry as a spring chicken, the world is her playground. Then at the end of the day, she's like a shot of bourbon that warms ya on a cold, cold day. Snuggles abound.I tell ya, Maddie's a special lady - she's FIV positive. Hey! don't let that scare you away, 'cause she's healthier than a hound in a meat shop. FIV+ cats can live long, healthy lives. As an indoor-only FIV+ cat adopted through Cat Welfare,annual wellness visits and core vaccines are be pro-bono for life! Maddie guarantees you'll look at life differently. She's no pessimist, and asks that you check that quality at the door. Step right up folks! She's not any old bargain. She is worth more than your entire weight in gold.

Story
Buffalo Bill is accepting applications for his forever family. He is one of just over 200 cats currently available for adoption at Cat Welfare.Howdy y'all! I'm Buffalo Bill, the cutest little kitty this side of the Wild West. I'vegot a playful spirit that just can't be tamed, but it's all in good fun - I just loveto play! I'm like a cowboy at high noon - quick on the draw and always ready for a challenge when it comes to drops of water falling from a faucet! My favorite game is catching those elusive droplets as they tumble down. I'll sit and wait, watching each one intently, then throw my paw out to snatch it. It's a game that requires speed, precision, and a true love of adventure - and let me tell ya, I've got all three! I've got big dreams of having a big ol' fountain of my own someday.Truth be told, what I really want is a good ol' home with good folks who will care for and love me. Waddya say partner? Let's ride off into the sunset together! Primary Color: Brown Tiger Secondary Color: White Age: 4yrs 11mths 2wks

Story
Colt is a healthy, energetic cat of approx 5 years. He is a ring leader and does not aspire to be a bestie with any other cat- we even recommend he is not placed in a home with other male cats. While he is an independent guy, Colt does enjoy being talked to and petted while he's relaxing. Once he knows you, he'll greet you with purrs, kneading toes and little love nips. We do ask that anyone adopting Colt commits to daily playtime. Please come meet Colt and let him gallop his way into your heart.

Story
When Guapo arrived at CWA in 2019 he was in rough shape! A kind man who knew Guapo from shared time on his porch, also knew his friend needed medical attention. At first the transition was not smooth. Guapo was scared and defensive. After staff persistence, Guapo realized we were his allies and accepted care. Once healthy, Guapo became a free roaming kitty in our Staff Only area. His preference. His other preference was being served. Receiving his meals and interaction from a top of condos seemed to suite him. For special friends, Guapo will jump down to a window sill for pets and engagement. But as of late, Guapo is even coming down on the floor and even leaving his room of security to seek interaction. Once he your attention though, he makes a dash for his comfort zone with the hopes you'll follow. Our dream for Guapo is a quiet home with an experienced, patient cat owner. Someone who will allow him to grow his confidence on his own timeline. Guapo would be a great around other mellow cats as he enjoys observing his fellow felines here at the shelter. We know his forever someone is out there and now Guapo is ready to make their acquaintance. Primary Color: Buff Secondary Color: White Weight: 9 Age: 8yrs 1mths 1wks
