Adult · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 41 mi from Columbus

⭐️ Meet Star! ⭐️
This girl is pure (purrrr?) love. Star is a mellow domestic short hair, indoor/outdoor kitty who's happiest curled up in your lap — though she'd rather not be carried, thank you very much! She plays gently and loves following her humans from room to room. This brave young cat is making great progress and coming out of her shell. She's still not in love with other cats, but should do well with a patient family, even one with older kids. She has her quirks, but she's getting better every day.
Star is about five years old and already spayed — ready to bring her sweet, easygoing energy into her forever home.
AND A BONUS — a generous donor has covered Star's adoption fee! Applications will be carefully screened.

9. Asha

Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 41 mi from Columbus

MEET ASHA AGAIN
This gray domestic shorthair kitten is a little bundle of curiosity waiting to steal your heart! Independent and playful, Asha loves nothing more than chasing her favorite toys. Her fur is so soft! No longer shy with her humans or fellow cats now that’s she’s settled in. Has an insta-purr setting when you pick her up. Loves to nap in the sunshine in her favorite spot or on a lap. Sleeps through the night quietly curled up beside her human. Chases toys intensely but she’s not much of a jumper yet. Her soft meows as she races toward her food at mealtimes are the sweetest thing.
She's got a fun hide-and-seek streak (perfect for cozy nooks, boxes, and blanket forts! ), and she's curious around other cats, and takes things slowly and carefully.

Dogs are still a mystery to her — no experience there yet!

Adopting a cat in Columbus

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
