Story
FIV+Meet Blanche, a stunning calico beauty with a striking mix of black, orange, and white fur. Born around March 8, 2021, Blanche joined our adoption center on March 16, 2024, after being caught as a stray in Blacklick by our dedicated TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release) volunteers. Despite her life on the streets, Blanche is not feral. She has an independent spirit that makes her an intriguing and charming companion. Blanche is spayed, vaccinated, and has tested negative for FeLV. Additionally, she is FIV+ (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus positive), which means she has a weakened immune system compared to FIV-negative cats. FIV+ cats can live with FIV- as long as the cats get along and are both spayed/neutered. A deep bite is the only way it would spread with altered cats. Blanche is shy and tends to be reserved around new people. However, if you approach her slowly, she enjoys a good head scratch and will purr contentedly. She may not be the most attention-seeking kitty, but she still appreciates love and TLC. Her friendship is won through gentle pets and tasty snacks, making the bond you form with her all the more special. Blanche got her name because of her beautiful white patches of fur that reminded our volunteers of fresh snow. Her name, meaning "white" in French, seemed like a perfect fit for her unique and elegant appearance. If you’re looking for a beautiful and self-reliant feline friend, Blanche may just be the perfect addition to your family. Come meet her and experience her unique charm for yourself! **Come meet me at the cage free Adoption Center! All cats are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and tested for FIV/FeLV.

Meet Ginger, a stunning 8-year-old calico with a vibrant coat and a personality to match! This sassy lady knows what she likes and isn’t afraid to set boundaries. When she’s scared or uncertain, she may hiss or swat, but she doesn’t use her claws unless she truly feels she needs to protect herself. Ginger is a strong, independent cat who’s looking for someone who will appreciate her spirited personality. While she’s still learning to feel safe and secure, Ginger has already shown her adorable side. She loves being talked to and will answer back with the sweetest little meows, letting you know she’s listening. She enjoys finding cozy spots to lounge in and spending time gazing out the window at the world outside. She would thrive in a quiet home with a patient adopter who will give her the time and space she needs to feel at ease. If you’re looking for a cat with a bit of sass and a lot of charm, Ginger might just be the perfect companion for you. Come meet her and see if she’s the missing piece to your home!

DOB: 9/3/2015 Meet Valya , a lovely 9- year- old calico queen with a heart as warm as her cozy- colored coat. With her gentle nature and easygoing personality, Valya is the definition of a chill companion. She’s past the kitten chaos and fully embracing the sweet serenity of seniorhood. Valya enjoys the simple things in life— soft beds, sunny spots, and the quiet company of someone who appreciates a calm, comforting presence. She’s the kind of cat who’s perfectly content to just hang out by your side, offering slow blinks and soft purrs in return for your love. Looking for a low- maintenance, loving friend to share peaceful moments with? Valya might just be your perfect match. Give this sweet senior the soft landing she deserves— she’s been waiting patiently for a home to call her own. Come meet me at the cage-free Adoption Center!

Story
Tia is a remarkable and resilient kitty that needs a foster or forever home. She has captured the hearts of those who care for her at one of our feral feeding stations, and while she has a feisty and sassy nature, we think she has the potential to blossom with the right person. If you are unable to foster/adopt Tia, please share this post to help her find the loving home she deserves! Tia has likely spent most (if not all) of her life outdoors. This smart and spirited calico has a sweet, expressive face, and she’s a petite little spitfire who communicates through hisses, growls, and occasional meows. Once she knows you, she’ll approach with her tail straight up—a sign of trust. Though we are unsure of Tia’s exact age, we think she’s probably between 5-10 years old. Despite missing several teeth due to age, Tia seems otherwise healthy. She has received veterinary care and been spayed in the past, hence her tipped ear. If we can find a kind soul willing to care for her, she will have an updated exam prior to being transferred to her new home. Note that Tia will need a quiet, calm home without kids or other pets, and she’ll initially need a small space of her own to become acclimated. Patience will be key, and she’ll hide for a while, until she feels safe. Her foster/adopter should be experienced with cats, and some experience with semi-feral or feral cats would be ideal. Tia is located in the Columbus area. If you’re located in Ohio and think you might be a good match for Tia, submit an application via our website.

Story
I am being showcased by the Humane Society of Morrow County in an effort to find me a permanent home. I was found in June of 2024, starving and desperately trying to care for my one-week-old baby. We had no place to go and no one to take care of us until the HSofMC stepped in to help. We spent some time in foster care but now I am ready to go to my furever home. I am sweet, affectionate and love scratches and cuddles. I’m excited to find a family of my very own. Here are my highlights: • I am an adult spayed female most likely born in 2022/2023. • I have been wormed, negative tested for FLV/FIV, vaccinated with the Felovax or FVRP vaccine and rabies vaccine. • I am microchipped. • I am good with other cats but have not been dog tested. • I am very sweet, loving, laid back and affectionate. If you are interested in learning more about me, please email info@hsofmc.org. Adoption applications can be completed online at hsofmc.org and submitted electronically or you can obtain an application from the great folks here! A home visit is required to be approved for adoption. My caregivers want to be sure I’m going to the perfect home!!

Adopting a Colorpoint Shorthair

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Colorpoint Shorthair - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

It typically costs $50 to $300 to adopt a Colorpoint Shorthair from a shelter or rescue organization. This adoption fee often covers an initial exam, vaccines, microchipping, preventatives, and spay/neuter. Conversely, it can be prohibitively expensive to buy a Colorpoint Shorthair from a breeder. Depending on their breeding, they can cost $800 to $1,500.

The easiest way to adopt a Colorpoint Shorthair is through a rescue that specializes in Colorpoint Shorthairs or Siamese cats and varieties of Siameses. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet, which will show you all the available Colorpoint Shorthairs in your search radius.

Colorpoint Shorthair fun facts

Fun Facts:

Even though this breed is technically Siamese, Siamese breeders were so upset about these colors diluting the pedigree that an entire other name and breed was established: the Colorpoint Shorthair.

Technically, the Colorpoint Shorthair is a hybrid, though there is little genetic influence of anything other than Siamese.

Only some associations consider the Colorpoint Shorthair as separate from the Siamese breed.
