Story
My name is Cupcake! I’m a 3.5 year old, male,13 pound kitty in search of a new family. My previous human had to move into rehab indefinitely, so my mother Sierra and I boarded the Ark. While we are very affectionate with each other we do not have to be adopted as a pair. I was previously spayed. I’ve been to New Hope Pet Vet where Dr Casey DeCook became my veterinarian. She completed both physical and dental examinations on me. I was deemed healthy My vaccinations were updated. I had a fecal analysis and am currently on flea tick and heart worm medication. I am litter box trained and play well with the other cats. I will be adopted within a two hour drive radius, and be an inside only kitty. Give us a call or email to set up an appointment to meet. 423.472.2744 or ArkofCleveland@aol.com. Hope to meet you soon!

Story
I adopted Pepper 4 years ago--I believe she is between 5 and 6 years old. This sweet girl was slow to warm up to the family, but now she loves being around people, especially outside where she follows me around the yard and garden (she's an indoor/outdoor cat). She is polydactyl with lots of extra toes, and is an excellent hunter. In our busy home she has become accustomed to gentle kids, dogs, and other cats, and is definitely one of the more curious cats that I know. She tolerates the other animals fine, but I think could be very happy as a solo pet. She is healthy, up-to-date on all shots, and has been spayed. I am about to move into a home with a person that has an extreme allergy to cats and I unfortunately can't take the cats with me.

Story
This sweet guy showed up in the tree by our deck. He was immediately friendly, loving, and charming. It was obvious that he was a house cat (he was terrified of being outside) and has had a lot of attention. He loves to be held like a baby and pulls your face down for kisses. He is very talkative and enjoys carrying on a conversation with anyone who will listen and loves being a lap cat (His preferred place for a nap). He also still plays like a kitten. He enjoys chasing nerf balls, laser pointers, and almost any type of cat toy. He really needs to be an only cat. He is great with our kitten, but fights with our adult girl cats. He would also do well with a family that has older kids who can play with him to help curb his high and fun energy. We have searched and searched for his owners to no avail. We are not sure why, but we think that he was possibly abandoned.

Story
Gingerbread Man is a BEAUTIFUL almost 2-year old cat I rescued when he was abandoned as a kitten. Although he doesn't like to be picked up or held, he does like to snuggle up to me on the sofa or in bed where he sleeps with me. Helotes to look out windows and sleep in my sun room. GBM can bite and scratch when having to be corralled to go to the vet's. Since I am 76 I am concerned about his being under foot, but I have enjoyed his company.

Story
Violet is a one of a kind adult cat. As a kitten she looked like a seal point Siamese, and has evolved into a "cat of many colors" She has beautiful blue eyes, a mix of dilute calico, part tabby and part Siamese with brown accents. Her beautiful front legs have brown stripes and brown spots. She has a great personality. The hair down the center of her back is raised, no matter what her mood. She is many different cats all in one. She sleeps with me at night but uses her beds in the living room too. She has a tall cat tree and loves to sleep on the top bed. She is an indoor cat but loves to follow me outside and responds to verbal commands. She is on flea control drops, and is a very healthy big girl who weighs 25 pounds. She has strong hunting instincts and loves to chase a lazer pointer. I am very sad that I have to re-home her, and I need to be certain she goes a loving, forever home. She has a new, never used, giant litter box that goes with her too.
