PIXIE
Gray Brown Tabby
Female
DOB: Approx: August 15, 2018
Pixie was a sweet little kitten whose mother died. She was raised by a PetPromise foster and adopted by a family when she was just a baby. She was so happy in her home...she loved her family, she loved being the center of their world. They had children and she loved the children. They dressed her up and carried her around and she was so happy. Everything was great.
Then, a stray cat showed up one winter night and the family couldn't leave him outside and thought that Pixie would like to have some company anyway. As the days turned into months, things did not go well. Pixie was not happy with this new intruder into her happy life. She did not like this cat and she made that very clear. She still loved her family very much, but she screamed at the other cat and swatted him and refused to tolerate him in her house. She got moody and hid and was upset by everything that happened in her life. She became so stressed that she stopped eating and hid under the bed most of the time.
We were called by her adopters and agreed to take her back. She was dehydrated and had a uri...and was overweight. Since she has been in her foster home...she has been so happy. She is the only cat and loves her fosters. It took her a couple days to realize she was safe but as soon as she did, she was on her fosters' laps, kneading away...letting them know she loved them.
Pixie is out and about, playful, loving and cannot wait to see her fosters walk in the door when they get home from work. She is the sweet girl that she was before. She would love to have a home again where she can be the only cat. Where someone will love her forever not matter what. She would obviously do best in a home without other cats. If you think you can give sweet Pixie a second chance at a happy life, please complete and Adoption Application at: https://www.jotform.com/form/223107373504044
NOAH
Buff Tabby DSH Male
DOB: Approx: June 2021
Sweet Noah has had a horrible life and he is the sweetest boy. He once must have had a loving indoor home because he sat at the windows of homes in the small town outside Dayton…longingly looking in and begging with little paws on the windows to be let in.
The residents in the town put food out for him but there were many outdoor kitties in the area…so many thought he had a home somewhere. Then one day two unleashed large dogs rushed into the yard where Noah was sitting and broke into the fenced area where he ran for cover. A neighbor came out screaming when she saw the two dogs viscously attacking Noah and she rushed to his rescue.
Noah was barely alive when he was rushed to the vet. He almost lost an eye and went through a long recovery period where even the vet wasn’t sure he would make it. But the sweet strong loving boy lifted his little head one day and head bumped the neighbor that rescued him when she visited and they all knew he was fighting hard to stay alive.
He recovered…and during his recovery it was discovered that he had FIV (which is the cat version of human AIDs.). While cats with FIV can live long healthy lives, it is an immuno-deficiency disease that means that viruses that other cats can quickly overcome can be deadly to him. And while FIV is not easy to pass to other cats (it requires a bite wound to transfer to another cat) being around healthy cats that carry even minor viruses or being in a home where there is a lot of change or stress can cause the FIV to become full blown FIV.
So poor Noah…just when it looked like he may finally have a good future ahead has been served another round of bad luck. Who would ever adopt him knowing that he will need to be in a nice calm home without a lot of stress, without a lot of other cats, in a home where he will need to see the vet for blood tests at least once a year to make sure everything is okay inside. Now Noah has to be labeled as a special needs cat …and that means that he will most likely be overlooked when people are picking out a kitty to adopt.
Noah deserves more than this for the rest of his life. Could you give this sweet boy…a boy who loves everyone but who has had a horrible life so far…a home where he can be lived and protected? If you can give him a chance to have happiness for the rest of his sweet life, please complete an Adoption Application!

ROO (FIV+)
Tortoiseshell DSH Female
DOB: Approx. 02/14/2024
Meet Roo. She is the sweetest little girl. Still a kitten and she has been delt a bad hand already. She was just a baby and out on the street trying to find food in dumpsters, behind people's homes, crying out for food and help. Finally someone noticed her and called her and the sweet baby went running right to the rescuer.
Roo is the sweetest girl you'll ever meet. She loves every person she meets and purrs loudly when you walk into a room. She is gentle and loving but when we took her in we got news that no one wants to hear: She tested positive for FIV. This is devastating ...not because it is a death sentence for her, but because many people will not even consider adopting her now. She has been hopefully looking at and pawing at people at events...hoping someone will consider her...but she is looked over again and again.
Please don't be scared off by her FIV + status! Don't let it keep you from considering the very sweet girl. FIV+ cats can live long healthy lives if they are in a calm environment. They can even live with cats without FIV since as long as they don't fight, the FIV is not spread. She just needs her own home and her own person.
Poor little Roo (still a kitten, really) is currently living in a cage because the foster has other cats that are a little aggressive and that isn't fair to sweet Roo. This is so sad because she is so friendly and social - Can you be her hero and give her the life she fought to have?

DARWIN (FIV+)
Tuxedo DSH Male
DOB: Approx: June, 2021
Meet Darwin – A Sweet Survivor Looking for His Forever Home
Darwin's story begins on the streets of Linden, where he was found all alone, struggling to survive. When first found, he was barely surviving — covered in scars, starving, and with a desperate sad look in his eyes. But despite everything he had been through, there was something undeniably special about him. He looked up as if saying, "I can't keep going but I am so tired and hungry...please help me."
​
When he was picked up and carried to a warm car...it was like he knew he would be okay. He relaxed, looked up at his rescuer, laid his little head down and went to sleep and he never looked back. Now in temporary foster home, Darwin has blossomed into the most affectionate little companion. His raspy meow is the sweetest sound, like a whisper of gratitude for being rescued after being lost and alone and hungry for so long.
And then just when we all thought that finally the sweetest boy (giving head butts to his rescuers in the car before drifting off to sleep the day he was rescued....we found out that this sweet boy had FIV.
But FIV is certainly not a death sentence (FIV kitties can live happy long lives, just like people with AIDs) if cared for properly. (All he needs to stay in tip top shape are an: indoor only home, vet visits at least 2X a year and more if he has a cold, daily lysine powder in his food. That's it!)
But the sad thing about his FIV status is that this sweet friendly super love bug of a boy may never get “picked” to be adopted because of his FIV+ status. People don’t understand that these babies can love and deserve a good happy life in a home where someone will love them even though they aren’t perfect.
New studies have shown that FIV+ and FIV neg cats can live together as long as the cats are neutered and no fighting is happening, as the new science suggests that the chance of transmission is relatively low. See https://www.humanesociety.org/news/fiv-positive-cats for more information.
More information on FIV in cats: https://www.vet.cornell.edu/departments-centers-and-institutes/cornell-feline-health-center/health-information/feline-health-topics/feline-immunodeficiency-virus-fiv
So won't you give him the chance that he has been waiting for so long? All of the other cats and kittens are being picked, getting homes where they are the center of the world for their new families....and little Darwin just keeps waiting and waiting for someone to notice him and to tell him that he is getting his own family too.
He loves people with all his heart, he’ll follow you around, never far from your side....he never wants to be alone again! Whether it’s curling up next to you on the couch or giving you his version of a “talking” meow, Darwin will always remind you that he will love you forever if you'll only give him the chance.
Darwin’s favorite thing? Playing with cardboard. Yes, his tastes and wants are small. He’ll pounce on it like a kitten, hopping from one box to another, as though he’s finally living the carefree life he’s always deserved but was never able to have like other kittens because he had to be on his own hiding and looking for food so he could survive.
His playful energy and endearing personality make him impossible not to love.
He may have had a tough start, but now all he wants is to be your best friend. Give him the love he deserves, and he’ll make your world a whole lot brighter.

7-UP
Tortoiseshell DSH Female
DOB: Approx: June, 2019
7 UP is a sweet little girl who is so people focused, she wants to be with you always. 7 Up was bottle fed as a tiny kitten and is super attached to people. Bottle babies are called "velcro cats" for a reason - they love to be touching you! She will be the biggest baby and the best friend you will ever have! If you love snuggles, and love to be doted on by someone...this little girl is for you!
7 UP had crystals in her bladder and needed surgery to remove them and the surgery to remove the bladder stones was successful. This is not unheard of in cats...and while she will need to be on a special urinary diet and will need to be watched for signs of bladder stones she will live a totally normal, healthy and loving life with the person who promises to love her for the rest of hers.
As long as she is fed the correct wet/dry food, 7 UP should not have a major event but any adopter needs to understand her dietary needs.
Please do not overlook 7 UP for her medical issues. She is the sweetest, most loving, little girl we know and she has been passed around from foster home to foster home waiting for someone to pick her.
If you can give this little tortie girl what she has been waiting for her whole life, please complete an Adoption Application today!
RUBY
Brown Bengal Tabby Mix Female
DOB: Approx: May 2, 2024
Sweet little Ruby was born on May 2, 2024, along with her two sisters and two brothers under a chicken coop. When she was barely two weeks old Ruby’s Mana left her kittens and something happened because she didn’t come back.
The neighbors heard kittens crying under the coop but there was nothing that they could do….until that night when the babies started to crawl out trying to find food and warmth. It was very cold that week especially for May. Ruby was the first to make it out. Her eyes were barely open, she was cold and starving. Her litter mates were close behind, barely able to walk…wet, cold and hungry.
When PetPromise arrived after hearing about these kittens, little Ruby was the first one to cry out when we picked her up…she nuzzled into our blanket…wet and cold and crying. One of her brothers had died before we arrived…and the second little boy died as we raced to get them help.
For the first 7 days after they were rescued we didn’t know if any of the three little girl kittens would live. They were all starving and weak…too weak to drink from a bottle…they had to be syringe fed. Every day we held our breath hoping they would hang on fur another day and grow…and they did.
​
Ruby was the biggest of the three girls…she was the Bengal mix with her perfectly spotted belly and her brown tiger stripes. She was the first to love people and the first to our…and she purred every time she was picked up even as a baby. She was the smart, active little one…learning to climb up the bed to cuddle with a person, the one to lead the others to the warm bed for sleep. She is the gentle cuddler that loves to play but will choose to come over and sit quietly with a person if you are there. As soon as you pick her up she purrs and purrs. She isn't happier than when she is with a person cuddling.
Ruby is the sweet beauty of the litter and is a very special little girl. If you can open your heart and home to her and promise to keep her safe and loved for the next 15-20 years, please complete an on-line Adoption Application!
BONNIE (FeLV+)
Black & White Tuxedo
Female
DOB: Approx: March 10, 2021
​
Sweet little Bonnie. She has had some very bad breaks in life. She was dumped outside and had been living on her own for at least several months. She was fed in
the neighborhood by various people...but despite the fact that she tried to come inside that winter...looing in people's windows... no one took her in. She sat outside the doors of homes that fed her hoping that someone would be kind enough to let her come in and be warm and part of a family but no one did. Everyone knew the little black and white kitty that went from home to home that winter looking for someone to welcome her into their family...but no one had the time, space, or the inclination to take that step and rescue her until one couple finally did. They noticed her. They saw her.
When they opened their door, and Bonnie rubbed on their legs and did circles around them they knew they had to help her. They took her inside (they had their own cat and thought that Bonnie would be a perfect addition to their household). They isolated her for the first day and they were in love. Bonnie was the sweetest cat in the whole world. After all of those months outside...she was thrilled to be inside with PEOPLE! She was beside herself purring rubbing, she even forgot to eat when her people were around. She was so happy. And the rescuers adopted her. She was the sweetest cat they had ever met! She was perfect!
They took her to the vet that week to get her spayed and tested, vaccinated and ready to become part of their family. And then they got the devastating news: Bonnie was FeLV (feline leukemia) positive. This means that Bonnie has an illness that will most likely mean that she will not live a full long 15-20 year life. It also means that she should not live with cats that do not have FeLV because she can potentially transmit it to them (not to people or other types of animals) and also because they can give her colds and other things that they can carry that can be devastating to a kitty with a compromised immune system.
Now, please know that a cat having FeLV is NOT A DEATH Sentence (see: https://www.jotform.com/form/223107373504044 ) We have had FeLV+ cats in our program that have lived to be 9-11 years old. They still have so much love and life....we hope that someone will please give this girl, who wants so much to be part of a family...and thought that she was finally going to have that happy ending, a home where she will be loved for the rest of her sweet life.
If you have a huge heart and can give Bonnie a home...and make whatever life she has (whether its 1 year or 11 years) the best years she can have....please complete an Adoption Application at: https://www.jotform.com/form/223107373504044 We promise that you won't regret it!
CHIA
Black DSH Female
DOB: Approx: April 15, 2024
Sweet little Chia was all alone int he world. She was just a baby kitten when she was dumped along in a parking lot of a hotel on the West side of Columbus. It was a hot hot August day and she went from door to door crying until a man came out. She was crying so hard he thought she was hurt and hurt bad. The rescuer called us and we picked the baby up immediately. We checked her over and could find nothing wrong with her. And as we were checking her she started to purr. And purr and purr. She was just terrified, hungry and was asking for help.
Chia is one of the sweetest kittens you will ever meet. She is being fostered with three other little girl kittens that are just about the same age and she has become part of their "litter." They all wrestle and play...and when the foster comes into the room they all go running to be cuddled and held.
Chia loves everyone she meets. She can't help but purr when she is with a person or when she is being petted. She does great with the other kittens. She is full of life and the cutest little girl you will ever meet.
If you can open your heart to this baby and commit to keeping her safe for the next 15-20 years, please complete and on-line Adoption Application at: https://www.jotform.com/form/223107373504044 ...and bring this little girl home forever!
