Story
This is Merlin. He is the last of my group of kitties I rehomed. He is the sweetest boy you will ever meet and loves to give you affection. He’s very vocal and will follow you around. He’s a velcro kitty. He will also grow attached to dogs or cats alike and cuddle them too. He would fit in perfectly anywhere!

Story
Minou is a really great cat. She is shy at first, but once she gets to know you, she's very loving. She's never aggressive. She only stays inside the house and I am doubtful she would do well with other cats or dogs, though it's possible it could work out.I got her in December 2020. Since then, I have married and started a family and we're not able tend to her like we used to. The primary issues for attempting to re-home Minou is for health concerns due to the litter box and because we will be moving.I would really love to see her go to a good home. She's been a really great cat! I'll provide all toys and supplies I have if you want them.

Story
Wisdom is a shy one year old kitty who's learning that the world isn't such a bad place. When he first arrived at the shelter, he wanted nothing to do with us and would try to bolt away whenever he had the chance. No doubt, Wisdom has had a rough time getting used to the shelter.After those first couple days, Wisdom mellowed down quite a bit, but even to this day, you can still see the fear in his eyes. His soul is yearning for a peaceful home where he can decompress and feel at ease. We do all we can for him and are sure to give him wet treats (which he does seem to enjoy), but nothing can replace a loving home for a cat. He is also neutered and up to date on all his core vaccinations and monthly preventatives. Adopt Wisdom today and give him the chance to bloom into the gleeful and loving cat he was meant to be.Give us a call at (740) 314-5583 for more information!ADOPTION APPLICATION:All adoption applications are completed at the shelter unless otherwise noted.FOSTER APPLICATION:Want to be a hero for a homeless animal in need?

Story
Littlefoot is a three-year-old brown tabby with a tender heart and a gentle soul. Right now, the shelter feels overwhelming to him, so he spends most of his days tucked away in his kennel, trying to feel safe. While he may seem withdrawn at first, this sweet boy isn’t unfriendly—he’s just scared.Underneath his nervous exterior is a kind, soft-natured cat who wants to trust but needs time, patience, and love to get there. Littlefoot will do best with a calm home and a compassionate adopter who understands that the most rewarding bonds often take time to grow. With consistency and reassurance, there’s no doubt he’ll slowly come out of his shell and show his true, loving personality.He is also neutered and up to date on all his core vaccinations and monthly preventatives. If you have a quiet home and a big heart, Littlefoot could be the one who blossoms by your side. Sometimes all it takes is one person to help a scared kitty become a happy one. 💛Give us a call at (740) 314-5583 for more information!ADOPTION APPLICATION:All adoption applications are completed at the shelter unless otherwise noted.FOSTER APPLICATION:Want to be a hero for a homeless animal in need?

Story
Meet General—a handsome one-and-a-half-year-old brown tabby with a sensitive heart and so much love to give. At first, General can be a little unsure of the world around him. New environments make him nervous, and when he’s feeling overwhelmed, he may retreat to a cozy hiding spot where he feels safe. But don’t let that shy first impression fool you—because once you take a moment to show him kindness, you’ll discover a completely different cat.General absolutely melts for affection. Gentle head pets are his favorite, and he’ll happily soak up attention from someone he trusts. He even enjoys being held from time to time, leaning into you for comfort and reassurance. Deep down, General is a needy, loving companion who just wants to feel safe and cherished so be sure to spoil him with all the love you can give him.He is also neutered and up to date on all core vaccinations and monthly preventatives. Give General his safe place, and he’ll give you his whole heart.Give us a call at (740) 314-5583 for more information!ADOPTION APPLICATION:All adoption applications are completed at the shelter unless otherwise noted.FOSTER APPLICATION:Want to be a hero for a homeless animal in need?

Story
Whiplash here! Don't worry, not actual whiplash, but the cat named 'Whiplash'. He is a brown and white cat that is four years old. This chubby boy is nothing but nice; anyone who walks by him will be greeted with his chirpy meow. He's always ready for some pets and to give you affection. Catching toys is another favorite past time of his. We often hear the little jingle of a toy bell or the thud of a pounce whenever we walk by his kennel. Full of energy and love, Whiplash is ready to bring the party to your home. He is also neutered and up to date on all his core vaccinations and monthly preventatives. Come adopt Whiplash today!Give us a call at (740) 314-5583 for more information!ADOPTION APPLICATION:All adoption applications are completed at the shelter unless otherwise noted.FOSTER APPLICATION:Want to be a hero for a homeless animal in need?
