Meet Geraldine!
This polite little lady is just so happy to be inside and loved.

It doesn’t bother her at all, and we think it just adds to how unique she really is!
Geraldine is good with other cats, dogs, and children.
Geraldine is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on parasite prevention.

10. Cora Bell
Adult (3 years 1 month) · Female · Calico (short coat) · 33 mi from Elyria




Cora is a beautiful 3-year-old calico with an incredibly loving, affectionate personality. This sweet girl wants nothing more than to be by your side! She’ll happily follow you from room to room, chatting along the way and making sure you always have company.
Cora loves attention, affection, and of course, her wet food! She’s also wonderfully comfortable around dogs—even a big 79-pound dog is no big deal. She’ll stroll right past him without batting an eye.
Read more about Cora Bell
When it comes to other cats, though, Cora has made her feelings pretty clear. She did not enjoy living with the last kitty she was paired with, so we feel she would be happiest as the only cat in her forever home. She’s perfectly willing to share her people with a respectful dog—she’d just prefer not to share them with another feline.
Cora is a sweet, confident girl with so much love to give. If you’re looking for a beautiful little companion who wants to be part of your everyday life—and you’re looking for just one special kitty—Cora may be your girl.
Adoption is $175 which includes her spay, age-appropriate vaccines, microchip and current monthly prevention. To fill out an application for this animal or a general application click HERE.

14. Moritz
Young (4 months 2 days) · Male · Domestic Medium Hair / Tabby (medium coat) · 33 mi from Elyria


Hi! My name is Moritz, but my foster mom calls me “Little One.” I was found all alone outside and had to be bottle-fed for my first few weeks of life. Just look at me now—I’ve grown into one handsome little guy!
Even though I haven’t lived with any cats yet, I had visits from my cat cousins and I loved it . I’ve been raised alongside two giant dogs, and they’ve become my best buddies. When I’m not lounging in my favorite chair or falling asleep in the funniest places, you’ll usually find me helping groom my foster siblings’ ears. It’s the least I can do to thank them for letting me crash at their house!

If you would like to meet me , I am currently on vacation and stying at a cat hotel. This is located in the Pet Supply Store in Hartville. Come by and meet me , I would love to see you.

HI! I AM Mandy
Read more about Mandy
I’m a super sweet petite young lady who loves affection. When you enter the room I’ll put my nose up to let you know it’s time to pet me. I love to rub against the people I trust and will let you know I’m happy with my loud purr. A family who can appreciate my gentle nature would be perfect for me and I’d love to spend time in my forever home with my special person(s). Even though I’m a quiet girl I do get the zoomies and will meow to let you know that you are taking too long to prepare my food! I prefer to be the only cat but may do well with a quiet gentle dog (if we are introduced properly). If you take me into your home, I will be the purrfect family member.

Bringing a cat home to your dog
Tell the rescue about your dog: their size, age and energy. A cat who has lived with a calm dog may still be nervous around a bouncy puppy.
Introduce them slowly. Keep the cat in a room of their own for the first few days, swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, and then let them meet with the dog on a leash.
Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, and keep the litter box and food bowls out of the dog's way.
