John Luther This handsome panther came from the trailer park. We’d been feeding him for about 2 years and when the hammer came down saying that we were no longer welcome to feed the community cats, we took him back to our office. He’s a big and friendly guy. When he first arrived at the office, he was initially shy but he soon warmed up to everyone and now he is one of the regulars in general pop. He is friendly, social, and obviously handsome. John is about 5 yrs old and an office favorite. He minds his business, loves to lounge around and to be pet. John likes to perch up on high places. He can be a bit bossy at times and would do better being the only cat in the household. If interested, please email Mirna at [email protected] 614-471-9000 Must be 24 or older. Adoptions to Central Ohio homes only. All dogs and cats in the home must be spayed/neutered. Adoption Fee $100.00.

Introducing Forrest! This majestic and lovable panther is the sweetest cat you’ll ever meet. He will flop on the floor for belly rubs when he sees you. He will slink around the house with his unassuming prowl, camouflaged by the night except for his tummy fluff and white striped toe. But don’t let him fool you, this guy is ready to play as soon as you bust out the catnip toys. If you’re looking for a handsome gentle sir with a heart of gold, Forrest is your guy! Growing up outside in a trailer park was rough for Forrest. We believe someone left him there when they moved away. He was hiding and living in a shed and he would only come out when he would hear us show up to feed him. He was one of the last cats rescued from that location. He was hopeful that one day he would find his furever family. He will make a great companion to anyone that opens their heart to him. Forrest is good with kids, other cats, and probably a chill dog. He has a calm, wise demeanor that makes you want to sit down and have a chat with him or maybe even ask for life advice. He is happy being a wallflower and staying out of the fray, but will also bask in cuddles and pets from his people. Once he is comfortable with you he will even sit in your lap. And boy does he love his cat naps! You will marvel at his big stretches and striking eyes, set against his beautiful black coat. This big guy is waiting for a lifetime of love. Come meet Forrest at his foster home and fall in love with this special cat. He is about 3 years old weighing about 12 pounds and black with a small white line on the bottom of one of his toes. It is adorable. If interested, please email Mirna at [email protected] 614-471-9000 Must be 24 or older. Adoptions to Central Ohio homes only. All dogs and cats in the home must be spayed/neutered.

Treh came from one of the colonies we feed. He is a 6 yr old male with a thick coat. His skin was always in bad shape, with fur missing, and scabs all over probably due to scratching. Our vet says he has environmental allergies and flea prevention is very important for him to receive. Now that he has been inside, his coat is coming back nice and thick and shiny. Treh tested positive for FIV or Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. Don’t let that scare you. With proper nutrition and veterinary care, FIV positive cats live a long, healthy life like any normal cat. FIV is also very hard to transmit to other kitties and can only be passed through a deep bite wound. As long as the cats in the home get along, Treh is totally fine to live with FIV negative cats! Treh is very friendly and outgoing. He is also confident and loves to be pet and hang out with his people. He can be a bit abrasive with other male cats and would do well in a home with another female cat or by himself. He is not a fan of dogs. He's a really nice and beautiful cat and would love a home of his own. If interested, please email Mirna at [email protected] 614-471-9000 Must be 24 or older. Adoptions to Central Ohio homes only.

Bon Jovi was recently rescued after living in a Columbus OH trailer park with very poor conditions, where he was surviving on scraps from the taco truck parked at the entrance. Although he was fortunate enough to be fed 1 meal per day by caretakers volunteering CDC, he suffered severe stress while living his first three years in this park. The environment outside in this community was loud, crowded, and dangerous due to litter and shrapnel courtesy of the residents who were observed abandoning, ignoring, and some times purposefully abusing the large stray cat population. His entire life consisted of searching for food and somewhere to lay low and hide for his own safety, and warmth. Due to the stress of his surroundings, Bon Jovi was known by the caretakers as an aggressive cat. He would swat at their feet when making sudden movements towards him or not putting his food bowl down as quickly as he’d like. Once Bon Jovi was rescued and examined by the vet, they found his left lower & upper fangs had been broken off. Due to his fear of human shoes and pattern of attacking feet, we can only assume he was once kicked in the mouth. However, on rare occasion, some of our caretakers were able to get a quick pet or feed him a treat by hand. It was then we knew he was not hopeless. After three failed attempts to trap Bon Jovi, the rescue agency was losing hope. However, still determined, and with a foster awaiting his arrival, in the dead of December winter he was finally trapped! CDC doesn’t give up easy. He was examined by the vet, and his only health concerns were his broken teeth and a lot of hair loss and scabbing likely from fleas, and stress. The moment he arrived at his foster home, he immediately exited his crate and rubbed up against the legs of his foster mom (to her utter surprise). Bon Jovi finally felt the comfort of his own plush cat bed. He instantly scarfed down a full meal he didn’t have to fight another cat for. After his first meal, he took to grooming for the next couple of days in between naps. He got his very own toy mouse, the first mouse he didn’t have to eat to survive. Within a couple of weeks the scabs began to heal, the missing fur began to grow back, and he realized he didn’t have to worry about humans kicking him anymore. Bon Jovi realized that his favorite place to be is on his human’s lap, near the furnace vent, or resting in his bed watching cartoons on his very own TV. He loves short spurts of playtime, a zoomie or two, but seems to love resting or being close to his human even more than being hyper. He’s a natural with the litter box, doesn’t take to the furniture to scratch, and barely makes a peep. This is the easiest and most relaxed cat of all time. He also doesn’t mind being picked up and held, and absolutely LOVES to be brushed. Bon Jovi has not been exposed to dogs, and has had minimal interaction with other cats. However, his foster mom believes that with proper gradual introductions, he would be perfectly fine with another cat sibling. Bon Jovi would prefer a quieter household, without young children, as he can get overstimulated on rare occasion. When he does, he communicates very clearly by meowing or giving body language before he gets defensive. His humans need to be able to read his communication, and give him space as needed, but most of the time he wants to be affectionate, loving, and resting close by or on their lap. He is approaching 3 years old and has no medical needs other than he likes to have dry food to graze through the day and loves to have wet food for breakfast and for dinner (due to his broken teeth). Bon Jovi is a beautiful cat and named so because of his stunning hair like the real Bon Jovi! If interest, please email Mirna at [email protected] 614-471-9000 Must be 24 or older.

This is the cutest cat ever. His right ear is damaged. Apparently he had a hematoma that was left untreated, but that is what happens to stray and abandoned animals. Their medical needs are not addressed and causes ailments/injuries unattended. He looks like an MMA fighter with a cauliflower ear and knocked out teeth, but it adds to his charm. He also had really bad dental disease which we took care of by providing a dental and unfortunately, he lost most of his teeth. Van Gogh came from one of the colonies. We thought he was a feral because he wouldn't let us anywhere near him. We trapped him, expecting to release him after his neuter, but once we saw how sweet he could be, we took a chance on taking him in to our adoption program. He has always been really quiet and chill, but he has slowly started trusting us. He now demands to be pet and can't get enough of it. He likes to lay near you as well. He is about 6 years old and quite charming. He gets along very well with the other office cats and he loves taking naps. His favorite thing to do is lay by the window and take long naps and he LOVES FOOD! He is also a big clown. He lays on the floor all the time on his back and he also lays next to the water bowl and rests his chin on it.

Meet Beckham Beckham is a really handsome guy, around 5-6 years old. He showed up at our office looking pretty rough. Now that he has been inside, he's shown us his sweet side but he doesn't seem to be comfortable around other cats. He has become best friends with Sparkle, Boomer, and Firework. They call him Uncle Becky and he is teaching them life lessons. For this reason, we feel it is probably best to place him as an only pet or with one of these boys. Beckham is stunning and has swagger. He's very smart and understands when we are talking to him. Beckham is so sweet. LOVES people and is most definitely a lap cat. He just wants to be around his human. Poor Beckham is lonely being segregated at times, he gets really sad when we leave and the other day, he tried getting in the staff's bag to go home with her. This is an affectionate cat that is very well behaved and is yearning for his forever family. If interested, please email Mirna at [email protected] 614-471-9000 Must be 24 or older. Adoptions to Central Ohio homes only. All dogs and cats in the home must be spayed/neutered. Adoption Fee $100.00 per cat.

Mateo was found in very bad shape under a car in a parking lot. He was extremely thin and had an upper respiratory infection. He has received a full mouth extraction/dental; neutered; vaccinated; and ready for a new family. Mateo tested positive for FIV or Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. Don’t let that scare you. With proper nutrition and veterinary care, FIV positive cats live a long, healthy life like any normal cat. FIV is also very hard to transmit to other kitties and can only be passed through a deep bite wound. As long as the cats in the home get along, Mateo is totally fine to live with FIV negative cats! He is a friendly and confident guy. He gets along with most cats but can sometimes be a little pushy. He will make a great companion in a home where he will get lots of attention. He is about 4 years old and has a very cute personality. He acts like he is so happy about everything, like a kid in a candy shop. He walks around the office like he's the mayor, greeting everyone. He just seems to be happy and grateful that he is loved, has food everyday, and is no longer in pain. He has made quite a transformation.

Fetty Wap is a quiet little guy and he has had a go of it. He was found in one of the colonies with an injured leg. We noticed also that he appears to be visually impaired in one eye. But that does not affect him at all. A few weeks after he recovered from his leg, which it turned out to be an animal bite but it was really swollen, he came down with a really high fever, up to 107.5, so he was hospitalized. After all the tests and ultrasound were performed, the vet felt he came down with an infection of unknown origin. He recovered from that and has been doing great ever since. He's making up for lost time, but playing with his toys and enjoying time in the catio as well as chilling. Fetty is about 3.5 years old and has a medium build. He is a really nice cat. And you are not going to want to stop petting him as he has the softest coat. If interested, please email Mirna at [email protected] 614-471-9000 Must be 24 or older.

Adrien Brody is a super sweet, handsome, young male cat. He came from the trailer park where we have fed, fixed, and rehomed many community cats. Realizing that our work at this location was quickly wrapping up, Adrien made himself known to the caregivers--his last ditch effort to find a home of his very own. We couldn't resist his charm so of course he joined our foster program. Adrien loves sitting on his foster mom's lap and sharing kisses. He enjoys playing and zooming around the house. Adrien doesn't love all the other cats in the foster house. He may be best suited for a house with one other young, playful cat or as an only cat. He's a beautiful boy who intensely loves his humans but has no patience for other cats. His favorite spot for napping is on his foster mom's chest, close enough to gently head butt her to ensure she doesn't nod off. Adrien is seeking his forever home where he can be either the only cat or be paired with another very confident, playful cat.
