1. Jasmine
Adult (1 year 6 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 25 mi from Xenia




Hi my name is Jasmine. Obviously I'm a princess but officially I'm a Domestic Short hair Calico. I'm a year and a half old. I currently have several loyal subjects. The residents of my kingsom are adult and child humans, canines and my personal advisor who is a black Manx cat.
I would happily rein over dogs and humans of all ages. I would be open to interviewing other felines to be members of my court.
My requirements for my new castle should include a throne in a sunny window, toys of all kinds, and possibly a human jester to perform in my court and stroke my luxurious fur upon request.

4. Mimi
Young · Female · Tabby / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 45 mi from Xenia




Poor Mimi (formerly just called Momma Kitty) was a momma cat to a litter of six babies (four that have now found homes) and was living on a concrete sidewalk outside of an apartment building. A nice lady was feeding her. When it rained, Mimi would take the kittens and move them under a bush. When the sun was shining, she fed them on the sidewalk.
A concerned cat lover was worried about the kittens and Mimi and reached out to several people who all got involved to save this sweet girl. Mimi and the kittens were taken inside and began their journey to pampered house cats.
Read more about Mimi
Mimi is still only really a kitten herself at about a year and a half old. She has been spayed, vaccinated, tested negative for feline leukemia/FIV, and treated preventatively for fleas/dewormed.
Mimi is still a little shy and is just learning what it is like to be safe. She is learning how to play and now likes to sleep on the bed with her caregiver. She is learning to trust and is becoming a very, very sweet girl.
We would like to see Mimi adopted with one of her remaining kittens, either Pan (male) or Freya (female). If she is adopted with one of the babies, there is only one adoption fee.
If you would like more information on Mimi, please email us at bandocats@gmail.com and request an adoption application.

6. Roman
Young · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Tabby / Mixed (short coat) · 45 mi from Xenia









Roman was the outside kitty of a lady who is having to re-home her cats due to dementia. Roman was used to being fed on her front porch. Since the lady has to go to assisted living, we took Roman in.
Roman could be a barn kitty, an inside/outside kitty, or an inside only cat for someone who does not mind that he does not like to be picked up and prefers pets on his own terms. He is a sensitive boy and just needs someone who understands that it frightens him to be picked up.
Read more about Roman
Roman does like to be petted, but he gets overstimulated and will let you know with a soft paw swat when he has had too much. For this reason, he could not be in a home with children.
Roman is friendly and does like head rubs and to have his face rubbed. He is also a talker and will talk to you.
Roman likes other cats. He was hanging around with another cat on the front porch of the former caregiver's home.
Roman is about 2-years-old. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, tested negative for feline leukemia/FIV, treated preventatively for fleas/ticks, dewormed, and microchipped.
If you have a safe space where this sweet boy can land since he has lost his home, please email us at bandocats@gmail.com

Boo is ideally suited to a home where she will have a friendly canine or feline companion. She needs a patient adopter who will help her settle in to her new life.

13. Marble
Young (1 year) · Female · Dilute Tortoiseshell / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 47 mi from Xenia



Marble - where to begin? Someone took her to a shelter - pregnant - but the shelter would not take her in. Someone in the lobby felt sorry for her and took her home.
Marble was in rough shape....all of her kittens died, probably because Marble was malnourished and too young.
We stumbled upon the situation and offered to get several of the people's cats fixed...but when we got Marble home, we realized she was in no condition to have surgery! She was only 4 1/2 pounds! The family agreed to surrender her so we could give her the medical attention she needed.
Read more about Marble
Well fast forward - she is a good as new! So friendly and playful....she LOVES toys and is hilarious! It is hard to get pictures of her because she is always on the go! So fun....we are so happy for her! She is an absolute hoot! She is fostered with cats and is a little bossy....but no one seems to care. She would do fine as an only cat with LOTS of toys!
Born likely fall of 2025, she is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and negative for fiv/felv. Adoption fee $60. Here is our application

Adopting a cat in Xenia
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.
