Adult Cats for Adoption in Canton, OH: 30 Grown-Up Cats Looking for a Home

Adult Cats up for adoption near Canton, OH

Rescues and shelters within 25 miles of Canton have 33 adult cats up for adoption. Here are the 30 newest, each with photos, their story and how to reach the rescue looking after them.

Adult cats usually wait longer for homes than kittens, but their personalities are already settled, so you know just what you're getting: a lap cat, a chatterbox or an independent explorer.

1. Bartholomew

Young · Male · Domestic Medium Hair / Domestic Long Hair (medium coat) · 22 mi from Canton

Meet Bartholomew! This handsome boy is the most outgoing and brave of his trio of brothers. Bart and his brothers were trapped as part of a feral colony TNR project, but because they were so young and friendly they came indoors to be spoiled at a foster home. After being trapped, Bartholomew went from a scared little kitten to a big lover in just a few days! He now greets his foster mom with meows, craves attention, and loves to snuggle. He is always happy to be around people and ready for some love!

Read more about Bartholomew

Like most young kittens, Bartholomew would be happiest in a home with feline companionship, so his ideal home will already have another friendly cat or be interested in adopting him with one of his siblings, Xander & Sebastian. Bartholomew has not yet met dogs but should adjust well to respectful canine friends. He is being fostered in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, and is about 7 months old.

Bartholomew's adoption fee of $100 includes a negative test for Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), neuter surgery, age-appropriate vaccines, deworming, topical flea prevention, and a microchip. If adopted with one of his siblings, the adoption fee for the pair is $150. Bartholomew's brothers are Xander & Sebastian. In a dream world, this sweet trio would all be adopted together!

7. Xao

Adult · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Tabby / Mixed (short coat) · 24 mi from Canton

Meet Xao
(pronounced as Zaoww)
Xao is about 1-year young, little Xao is looking for a quiet, comfortable home and a special person to call her own.
Once she feels comfortable, Xao is sweet, enjoys pets, and likes spending time with her person. She’s more of a “hang out beside you” girl than a “pick me up and carry me around” kind of kitty—and there’s something pretty sweet about simply having her nearby.
Xao would be happiest in an adult-only home with someone who understands cats and will give her the time and space to settle in at her own pace. A little cat-whisperer experience certainly wouldn’t hurt!
If you have a quiet home and room in your heart for a petite companion, Xao is the girl you’ve been waiting for.

10. Belle

Young (5 months 27 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 22 mi from Canton

Here's what Belle's caretaker has to say about her.

Belle! ❤️

She is a super sweet little girl that sought out a very nice lady and wouldn’t leave her side until she was picked up and toted home with her. ❤️

Belle warms up quickly to humans, she loves pets and attention. It seems she is apprehensive towards other cats but with a slow introduction I think she will do fine. My foster room has 9 other kittens in it, she is currently crated because she was spayed on Monday. She was not happy being put in the room the first two days, now she is doing ok and when she is healed she will be let out to intermingle if she feels comfortable with it.

Adult · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 22 mi from Canton

Here's what Buddy's owner has to say about him!

Buddy Bio

Read more about Buddy

This is Buddy. He is 5 years old. I rescued from an outside blizzard where I heard a very loud kitten screaming. He was scared, cold and starving. He seemed to have been feral at the time with no human contact cuz he was scared to death of people. I had to live trap him to save him the cold. Buddy has came a long way since. He now is learning to more social and trust people. He loves other cats! He is very insecure but another cat makes him feel secure. He is very smart and a pretty big guy. His markings and size remind of a Savannah or a Bengal cat. He is beautiful. He knows his name and will blink at you slowly when you talk to him. He knows the word “bedtime” and will run upon the bed and really open up to being petted at bedtime and even meows for attention at bedtime until you pet him. He loves to eat and will also sit on command for a treat. He is very submissive to other cats. He has only been accepted by a few of the 7 cat household he lives in now. He headbuts with hugs them and rubs all over them. He would thrive in a quiet patient home with another cat to make him feel secure. She is super sweet boy that is slowly coming out of his shell but can tell he wants to trust. He as well has struggled in a 7 cat household and get chased and “put into his place” by the more dominate males. He deserves a quiet and patient home where he can relax and just be a cat with another cat as a friend. He absolutely loves his cat tree where he can relax alone and not be bothered by the other cats.! He loves to watch the birds outside too. He does fear being outside. This guy has a lot of potential to be very lovable cat without so many other cats keeping him on edge. He craves attentions and love but is outnumbered and out ranked in the house. He gets pushed off to the side as the other cats come in for attention and he will submiss to them.

Handsome Buddy is neutered and tested negative for FIV and feline leukemia. Buddy is not a Rose's Rescue cat, we are posting him in order to help his owner find him a new home. He is located in the Mogadore 44260 area. His adoption fee will be $50. Please TEXT ONLY Tammy at 330-730-9756 or email her at tamking1@netzero.net for more information about Buddy.

Baby
Sweet little girly gal that enjoys her peace and quiet with her person. She is super sweet and like to give hugs when asked to your forehead. She will also give you “kisses” and lick your forehead when asked. She likes to sleep in your bed with you and even knows when you tell her “it’s bedtime”. She likes to play fetch with her mouses and bring it back to ya for more fetch. She doesn’t “meow”…she chirps when you say her name. She would thrive I a quiet and peaceful home. She has shared a household with 7 other cats where she has been constantly stalked and chased and has made her “on edge” all the time. She does “tolerate” to get her nails trimmed….but not a big fan. She has never biten but does get pretty vocal of her dislike of it. She just loves to sit and watch the birds outside and if a bug gets in the house, you say the word “BUG’ and she is on it looking to get it. She does not like soft cat food but she does just adore her cat treats. I would always give her treats after a nail trim as a reward to associate getting nails done with positive reward. You ask her to “sit” and she will sit for her treat.

17. Fritatta FIV+

Adult · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Tabby / Mixed (short coat) · 24 mi from Canton

Meet Fritatta, he is 2-3 years young and a shy guy who prefers to take life—and people—at his own pace. He’s still pretty unsure about us humans, but there is one very reliable way to get his attention: crack open a can of wet food and suddenly you’re much more interesting.
He’s also a curious little guy, and that curiosity gives us hope that with time, patience, and a calm home, he’ll continue to come out of his shell.
He would do best in a quiet, adult-only home with no kids, where nobody expects him to be a social butterfly overnight. He’s looking for someone willing to let him settle in on his terms—and maybe keep the wet food coming.

Read more about Fritatta FIV+

While Fritatta is FIV-positive, it is not contagious to humans or other animals. It is safe for him to live with other kitties who are not FIV+. He takes Lysine daily to help support his immune system, and this medication will need to continue in his new home.

Many FIV-infected cats can live happily with the virus for a long time, and in some cats, the virus may never cause illness. Whether disease develops depends on several factors including the strain of FIV a cat is infected with, the cat’s immune response, and the presence or absence of other infections.

The main aims of managing an FIV infection are to prevent further spread of infection to other cats and to maintain a good quality of life for the infected cat.

General and supportive treatment includes:

Neutering all FIV-infected cats to reduce the risk of fighting and the spread of infection

Keeping FIV-positive cats indoors and keeping them away from non-infected cats. This helps prevent the spread of infection to other cats and reduces exposure of the FIV-infected cat to other infections.

In stable homes where cats don’t fight, the risk of spread of infection is low

Feeding good quality, commercial cat food and avoiding raw meat, eggs and unpasteurized dairy products

Maintaining routine preventive healthcare (regular flea and worm control, routine vaccinations etc.)

Veterinary health checks twice yearly. Your vet may recommend certain blood tests periodically to monitor your cat’s health

Prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment of any secondary or concurrent diseases

Fritatta’s adoption fee is $145.00

Meet Anni!
At 1–2 years young, Anni is a beautiful girl who likes to take her time getting to know you. She’s independent, a little particular, and prefers to choose her friends rather than rush into a relationship.
Her favorite things? Wet food, cozy hidey huts, and a peaceful place to relax. With patience and a calm environment, Anni has the opportunity to become more comfortable and confident with her person.
She’s looking for a quiet, adult-only home where she can settle in at her own pace. She may be especially well suited for someone looking for a more independent companion.
Other cats: Yes
Dogs: No
Kids: No—Anni isn’t afraid to throw a paw when she’s had enough!
She may be a bit of a work in progress, but for the right person who appreciates an independent lady with a little cattitude, Anni is your girl.
Anni’s adoption fee is $145.00

Adult · Female · Tabby / Calico / Mixed (short coat) · 24 mi from Canton

Meet Stencil!

Meet Snapple.
Snapple is 3-4 years young and after raising seven kittens (yes... SEVEN!), she's officially retired from motherhood and is now accepting applications for a full-time pampered pet position.
She'd like the record to show that raising seven kittens is basically the feline equivalent of running a marathon, so we're not discussing the baby weight. Thank you for respecting her privacy during this sensitive time.
These days, she's focused on the important things in life: naps and maintaining her very strict beauty rest schedule. She's more than happy to collect attention, enjoy a little playtime, and let you know what a sweetheart she is.
She's done all the hard work. Now it's her turn to be spoiled, loved, and treated like the queen she is in a forever home.

26. Flounder

Adult · Male · Domestic Long Hair / Mixed (long coat) · 24 mi from Canton

Meet Flounder! This 3-year young sweet boy takes a little time to feel comfortable with new people and changes, but once he settles in, his playful personality shines! He loves interactive play—especially chasing and proudly returning his favorite jingle ball. Like some cats, he can become overstimulated when playtime gets a little too exciting, so he’ll do best with someone who understands feline cues and can help him channel his energy appropriately. Flounder can be a little quick with his claws when excited, so he would do best in an adult-only home without dogs.
Flounder requires that he has plenty of jingle balls to play with. And lots of love.

Why adopt an adult cat in Canton

An adult cat's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are used to family life.

Grown cats are calmer and need less supervision than kittens, which suits people who work long hours or have young children.
