Persian kittens & cats in Ottawa Hills, Ohio

This poor cat just can’t seem to catch a break. 💔 Originally bought from a breeder, he soon found himself living outside. For at least three months he tried to make it on his own as his long fur turned into tight mats, as he was attacked by another animal and dealt with the resulting infected bite wound the best he could, and as he eventually made it back home only to be promptly surrendered to animal control. That was actually the best thing that could have happened to Applejack though. His fur was maintained, and his wound treated. He found people he mattered to — shelter volunteers. Then came the next blow. He tested positive for Feline Leukemia (FeLV). According to his surrender sheet, he’d never been provided vaccines by his owner. FeLV is an infectious virus that weakens a cat’s immune system making them susceptible to secondary infections, cancers and other diseases. It is easily transmissible to other cats through close contact. What does this mean for Applejack? He’ll be retested in 30 - 60 days to confirm he truly has FeLV. If he is truly positive, he will need a home as an only cat or only live with other cats with FeLV. We wish we could say stories like this rarely come up, but that wouldn’t be true. Applejack is one of multiple homeless animals (this week alone) that have been provided the healthcare they need by Pound Pals Downriver. We are eternally grateful for PPD, our volunteers and our supporters. ❤️ Online Cat Adoption Forms: : https://wacshelter.com/adopt-a-cat/ Website for general questions: www.wacshelter.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wacshelter/ Email: wacvolunteers@gmail.com ** Be sure to check out our FACEBOOK page for day to day updates on our cats and dogs.

Goose & Maverick: Wingmates for Life ? Can you guess who’s the confident one in this sibling duo? That would be Goose—yes, little Goose! This gorgeous long-haired classic tabby may start off shy, but she warms up quickly and reveals her sweet, playful spirit. She’s the kind of cat who’ll charm you with a gentle head tilt and then zoom across the room chasing a toy mouse like she’s on a mission. Her brother Maverick, a dashing short-haired tuxedo, is a bit more reserved. He takes his cues from Goose, watching her with quiet admiration before joining in the fun. Once he’s comfortable, Maverick’s affectionate and playful side shines through—he’s a total sweetheart who just needs a little time to feel safe. These two are deeply bonded and thrive together. They’re wonderful with other cats, but would prefer a calm home without dogs or young children. If you’re looking for a pair that brings both heart and harmony, Goose and Maverick are ready to fly into your life. Adoption fee: $190

Birch & Little Richard: Best Friends, Braver Together Some friendships are forged in fire. Others in bottle feedings, vet visits, and quiet moments of trust. Little Richard and Birch have been through it all—side by side, heart to heart. Little Richard, a bottle baby with a heart as big as his purrs, is the kind of cat who rolls with anything: dogs, kids, being held, and cuddles. He’s sunshine in feline form. Birch, his quieter counterpart, is more selective—he’s not a fan of hyper dogs, loud little ones, and not a fan of being held but loves attention, and we respect that. He’s earned the right to choose peace. Birch has just cleared a major medical milestone. His brother passed away from panleukopenia, but he never contracted the disease; he had other underlying problems. After constantly being sick and on medications, it was found that he had a polyp! So he had a partial polyp removal, a CT scan, and rhinoscopy surgery, our vets have finally given him the all-clear. He’s been brave through every step, and while he may take a little time to settle in, having Little Richard by his side makes all the difference. They’re over a year old now—past the kitten chaos, bonded like brothers, and ready for a home that sees them not just as pets, but as survivors, companions, and a reminder that love heals best when shared. If you’ve got a quiet space, a gentle heart, and room for two best friends who’ve already proven they’re stronger together.? Their adoption fee is $150
