Tabby kittens & cats in Columbus, Indiana

Meet Margot. She’s a sweet little tabby with a feisty side. She loves to lay on or beside you if you are a calm presence. I adopted Margot a couple of years ago from a friend whose child was allergic to her. I separated from my previous relationship a few months ago and am since with someone else who already owns a cat and Margot has not been able to adjust to living with another cat, unfortunately. However my ex did have a dog and she seemed fine around it, but the dog was very calm with her and didn’t bother her. Margot needs a peaceful home, so I don’t know if she’d be ok around young children. She can be finicky with anyone picking her up much or petting her too much. She wants to be near calming folks and will cozy up to you and be your little shadow if you offer her a calming presence. She loves cat nip toys and finding hiding places. She’s been spayed and is up to date on vaccinations. I love her very much and hate to part with her but want to find her a wonderful new home.

Paisley is looking for her forever home! She is a very sweet, gentle, quiet young adult cat. She takes a little bit of time to warm up, but once she does, she is very affectionate, purrs a lot, loves rubbing on your legs, and enjoys pets. She also likes sitting on the cat tree looking out the window. She does hide a lot of the time, but that's just what helps her feel safe! She would probably do best in a calmer home. Paisley came to us with stones in her bladder and needed surgery to remove them. She is on a prescription urinary care food and would need to stay on urinary care food for life unless advised otherwise by a veterinarian.

Sierra is a friendly and playful cat who loves belly rubs and scratches. She gets along well with other cats but is a bit sassy to them at times so would do fine on her own too. She is cuddly but gives love bites when she's overstimulated or has had enough. Sierra's favorite things include dry food and big stretches! She has been spayed and is up to date on her shots and tests. **Sierra is FIV positive. Her FIV+ status does not mean she cannot be around other cats. She would only be able to give FIV to another cat via a hard bite, so she would need to be introduced slowly and properly to ensure no aggression. Sierra lives with other cats currently with no aggression issues, only a little sass. Sierra is also on prescription gastrointestinal food and will need to stay on this diet unless advised otherwise by a vet. Come meet Sierra!

Pirate is a sweet love bug with a strong purr. His mom was a stray that came to us a week before having her kittens. Pirate has lived with me his whole life. He's 7 years old and has mostly been an indoor cat. Since moving to Indy, he has learned that he likes to sit in the backyard when the sun's out. Pirate was born with only one eye, and it's never caused him any trouble or health issues. He really wants to be best friends with his sister (Princess, same litter), but she's not interested. So if you have other cats that like cats, he'd be thrilled. He gets along fine with our Maltese - they're not friends but they can hang out on the sofa together just fine. We're rehoming him because of combining households, and we have a Maltipoo and a miniature schnauzer who are constantly chasing, hunting, and barking at the cats. It's not fair to Pirate to always be on high alert and hiding. He just wants to be loved. He's never been aggressive towards the dogs or hurt them in self defense.

Princess is an affectionate cat who loves to be loved. Her favorite place is next to (or on top of) her human, purring away and kneading lovingly. Her mom was a stray that showed up in our porch a week before giving birth, and Princess has lived with me her whole life. She's 7 years old. She tolerates her brother (Pirate, same litter), but is just as happy when he's not around. She gets along with our Maltese, but not with our Maltipoo or miniature schnauzer who constantly bark at Princess. So if you have dogs that are chill around cats, it might be fine. But we're rehoming her because it's not fair for her to be hunted, chased, and barked at all the time. She hasn't been aggressive towards the dogs and she hasn't hurt the dogs even in self defense. Princess has been mostly an indoor cat, though she's enjoyed sitting on the front porch since we moved to Indy. She likes sunshine and ear skritches, bacon and salmon. Fancies herself the alpha of the family. She's a great cat.

This beautiful, fluffy, 5-month-old kitten with a calm and independent spirit is Christianna! She enjoys the company of other cats and loves to just relax nearby, keeping you quiet company. One thing to keep in mind is that she prefers affection on her own terms, though she’ll happily accept pets when the mood strikes. Christianna is spayed and would make the perfect companion for someone who appreciates a laid-back, low-maintenance friend. Christianna would do best going to a home with another kitty or going home with a shelter friend!
