Vanilla Wafer is a cute 9-month old female kitty (possible Torbie/Calico/Tabby mix)j who was brought to the HSOV on April 30, 2026 by a Good Samaritan who found her on Scammel Street in Marietta Ohio. Vanilla Wafer has a unique brown tabby/orange tabby/white shorthaired coat, a long ringed tail, and a beautiful (rather mischievous-looking) face with golden eyes, a white stripe on her forehead, a pink/brown nose, a white muzzle, and long white whiskers. This little cookie has a happy, outgoing personality and is full of playful kitten antics. Vanilla Wafer was given vaccinations and Pyrantel dewormer on April 30, 2026. She weighed 6 lbs that day. Since she was not reclaimed, Vanilla Wafer was spayed on May 4th 2026 and was also given rabies vaccine. She is a petite young lady who weighed 5.14 lbs that day. Vanilla Wafer is currently in The Jungle Room where most of our adoptable cats are housed. She is ready to begin interviewing applicants to decide which individual/family she will choose to go home with (smile). We guarantee you that there will never be a dull moment with Vanilla Wafer by your side. Happy Update: Vanilla Wafer was adopted on May 16, 2026.

Stella is a beautiful female Calico kitten who was surrendered by her owner on July 24, 2025 along with her two sisters (Meeko and RJ) and her brother (Hammy). The kittens were 4-months old at that time. Stella has a black/orange/white short smooth coat in a calico pattern, a long tail, and a classic black/orange Calico face with golden eyes, a wide orange stripe on her muzzle/forehead, and long white whiskers. Stella was spayed on September 23, 2025 and was also given rabies vaccine. She weighed 5 lbs that day. Stella and her siblings dearly love each other, but they are still working on their social skills with regard to their people friends. They have made progress in our shelter since their arrival, but they are not yet ready to be held in your arms or snuggle up on your lap. We believe that they would do much better in a home environment with a family or individual who has the experience/patience to let them acclimate to their new home (realizing they may choose to hide for awhile until you gain their trust). The siblings have been separated into pairs so that they will have a best friend for comfort/security: [Stella & Meeko] and [Hammy & RJ] Stella and her sister Meeko (a beautiful Chocolate Point Siamese kitten) shared a cage (and later a cat tower) in our shelter and were quite compatible. They were listed as a bonded pair. Update: Meeko and Stella went home with a foster family on November 23, 2025 and were still available for adoption at that time. Foster notes/update June 3, 2026: Like many young siblings as they mature, Stella and Meeko are no longer a bonded pair (and they don't always see eye-to-eye which results in sibling rivalry and frequent spats with each other). It seems that Stella (true to her Calico reputation) has a bit of a cat-i-tude. Update: Meeko is currently enjoying the freedom of being at the River City Kitty Cafe' (Broughton's Complex, 635 SR 821, Building 3, Suite B, Marietta Ohio) where she is available for adoption through the HSOV. Stella is still with her foster family who reports that she is doing well in her home as a 'single child' (smile). Stella is friendly with her people friends, but she is not a snuggler/cuddler. Stella is looking for a home with a special person/family who has the patience to let her acclimate to her new home on her own time schedule (and realizing that she may hide for awhile until she begins to trust you).

Chip is a cute 2-1/2 year old female Dilute Calico kitty who was surrendered by her family on March 31, 2026 along with her companion (Ursa) who had shared their home. Chip has a white/pale gray/beige short smooth coat in dilute calico pattern, a long gray/beige tail, and an adorable face with dark golden eyes, a pink nose, and long white whiskers. This little sweetheart has a friendly, rather demure, personality. We know that Chip is wondering what on earth happened to have lost the freedom of her home and why she is now in a small cage by herself. Chip had been in her home for two years~ Chip was given vaccinations and Pyrantel dewormer on April 1, 2026. Like most cats, Chip was enamored with the Girl Scout Cookie cardboard box which a group of Girl Scouts donated after their cookie sale was over. Chip loved the cookie box so much that she chose to pose for her Petfinder/Facebook photos in the box (smile). Chip was spayed on April 6, 2026 and was also given rabies vaccine. She is a petite little lady who weighed just 4.9 lbs that day. Chip is ready to find another loving home with someone special who will give her time to acclimate to a new environment. Update: Chip was adopted on May 26, 2026.
