Read more about Felix
Meet Felix! This little guy (just 7 pounds) was left behind by his previous owner and braved the wild for several weeks before being caught by a caring neighbor and brought to GRASP. Felix is still timid as he adjusts to his new life. He loves pets and snuggles and purrs very loudly to show his appreciation for being rescued. He will probably do best in a quieter home where he feels safe while he continues to get used to new people and environments. He has lived with other cats who picked on him, so it is unknown how he will be with other cats or dogs if properly introduced. He is good with children and would love to find his forever home.

15. Cleo
Young · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 34 mi from Medina



Cleo
DOB: 4/20/2026
If you've been following along Cleo's journey with GRASP, you'd know that this girl's bio has been updated pretty much monthly because this girl never ceases to stop learning and growing!
Cleo was brought in as a feral kitten at just a month old after her mama cat was tragically hit by a car, leaving Cleo and her siblings to fend for themselves. Through months of love and care by GRASP fosters, Cleo's siblings all learned to love people and embrace new lives with forever families. Unfortunately, Cleo hasn't found the right family for her.
Cleo's only 'flaw' that is holding people back from finding her perfect the way we do, is that she does not like to be touched.
Read more about Cleo
No picking her up or petting this sweet girl, but that doesn't mean she doesn't want to be part of the family. Cleo has been crashing in a home with toddlers and she absolutely adores them. She will follow them around the house, sleep at the foot of their bed, and hang out on the couch with them at the same time just not on their lap. We believe with time, patience, and love this girl will eventually allow pets and snuggles, but if she doesn't, is it the worst thing to have an adorable shadow hanging around the family? We don't think so!
Ideally, she'll have another cat or two to hang with as well as she is happiest with other cats around. She currently lives with dogs and does not like when they approach her, but if they are asleep on the couch she doesn't mind laying on the opposite side of them. So respectful dogs are a maybe, but she'd really probably do best without one.

Relish
Female
DOB: 07/04/26
Relish is the cutest little kitten who reminds her foster family of a baby bunny when she bounces around playing with toys. Speaking of toys, Relish LOVES to play. Her favorite thing in the world is to race around chasing ping pong balls. She chirps and makes adorable sounds while she bounces around. Relish starts purring immediately when she hears her foster family's voices or sees them walk into the room. When she's tired of chasing her toys, she likes to make a little nest and wrap up in her blanket. Relish shares a foster home with dogs and other cats.

Adopting a cat in Medina
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.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
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.
