Story
my sweet little orange baby, Gina. She’s 2 years old, spayed, litter box trained and such a beautiful girl inside and out. Gina has the sweetest personality. She’s a very shy cat who loves to keep to herself, but she’s never mean or aggressive. She loves sitting in windows and watching the world outside, and she does well around both people and other cats. HAS NEVER BEEN OUTSIDE She would do best in a calm, loving home where she can take her time to feel safe and comfortable. she’s such an easy, gentle little soul to have around.

Story
Scarlet is an incredibly social, loving, and rambunctious 11-year-old cat. Unfortunately we have had difficulties with her urinating outside of the litter box which has turned into a health issue for our young children. We’ve tried everything including visiting the vet for scans which found she’s in perfect health other than the beginning of some hip arthritis due to her age. Scarlet would do well in a house where she receives lots of love and attention and doesn’t have to share litter boxes with another cat. She also enjoys being outside, and living in the country where it’s safe for her to spend more time outside might solve her urinating in the house issues. We love her so much and are heartbroken that nothing we’ve tried has worked. Our hope is that someone can give her the attention she needs to solve this issue.

Story
Sara is an adorably sweet cat. I adopted her when she was only 4 months. She was in a home with a large, noisy family. I say this because she became traumatized from this. When I went to adopt Sara, the members of the family used to chase after her, and poor Sara would hide in her cat tower. Sara is a very sensitive cat, and needs alot of love and attention that i tried to provide for her. However, Sara does not get along with my other cats, and that's unfortunately why I decided i must find her a better home, preferably one that does not have other pets. Shes a sweetheart, loves to cuddle, sits on your lap, and loves people. She likes fish meals, sitting by the window, rolling in the backyard, and chilling with her loved ones. I hope Sara finds a better home for her :)

Story
Please adopt our adorable 9 year old spotted tabby, polydactyl cat. She is declawed in the front and has 5 toes on each paw giving her mittens. Very friendly and loving of dogs, cats, and adults (see lap cat photos!) She has always been very attached to me (mom) and got extremely jealous when we started a family. Our toddler has stressed her out and made her territorial of me when small children are around. Unfortunately rehoming her due to this behavior, otherwise we would happily keep her as she’s a nice cat. Free to a good home, preferably with older kids or child free. We are in central Ohio
