SPCA of Hancock County's adopted pets

"Finding a home for me and siblings, Runt and Sampson, is going to be a struggle; I mean, THREE adult cats (two are senior) as a package deal??? But we need to stay together. I NEED my older brother and sister. I'm not so sure about this place. They seem to have calmed down a little, but I'm still pretty upset from losing my previous owner AND my original home. Truth is, shelter life is hard when you were used to being in your own house before! I had a lot of places to hide and nap, and here... not as much. We have our own private room to keep us calm and comfortable, but it's not the same. Won't you take us home? I know I hiss now... but I just need some time." show less

"Finding a home for me and siblings, Baby and Sampson, is going to be a struggle; I mean, THREE adult cats (two are seniors) as a package deal??? But we need to stay together. I'm the big sister. Sampson is the middle child, and Baby is, well, the Baby. Our owner died and now we're here, but at least I have my own window sill to sit on. Baby and Sampson aren't adjusting as well as I am. That's why I'm the big sister. I do EVERYTHING. Hopefully you can take us home so we can have a new furever home and someone can take care of us. The people here are nice, but it's not as quiet as I'd like. We'd love a nice calm sophisticated home to live out our golden years in. Buy two get one FREE!" Runt is a sweet girl who likes being pet and enjoys some good catnip. She's the more outgoing of the three; she's the one you'll see out and about more often. She usually takes turns comforting Sampson and Baby by cuddling them. show less

"Finding a home for me and my sisters, Runt and Baby, is going to be a struggle, since it's hard enough for senior pets to find a furever family in a shelter let alone THREE together. But we need to stay together. Runt is the cuddler of us, whereas Baby has some spit and fire in her but she just really needs us older cats and some security. Truth is, shelter life is hard when you were used to being in your own house before! Sadly, we were in bad shape when we first arrived, and that's why I've been shaved - I'm actually a longhair kitty but needed to get a ton of yucky mats off." "I am shy and hide a lot, but I don't mind if you reach in and pet me, and a gentle voice and demeanor can make me purr. I would love a gentle human to watch over me and my sisters, and would undoubtedly come out of my shell more when I'm in a loving home. I was bothered by children before when they were rough with me, so I may not be comfortable in a home with kids under 10. I do great with other cats, though, and am bound to be a lovebug once I calm down. I don't mind being held and snuggled and protected." Sampson is a scared, sweet boy who likes being held and protected from the world. If you pick him up, he nuzzles into your chest or neck or wherever he can to feel safe. He flinches sometimes when you pet him, but we believe he still has some bad memories from poor treatment years ago. Despite his mysterious and hard past (one of his eyes is darker than the other, which according to the family who brought them in, is from abuse from some bad neighborhood kids years ago) he still seems willing to consider trusting a few quiet and patient humans. He's getting better. show less

Behemoth is a BIG, sweet, scared boy. He is getting neutered on 2/8/21 and will be ready to go home soon after. We don't know how he would do with any other animals currently. Based on how he's been with us so far, we think he would prefer a calm home with no other pets where he can sit quietly in your lap. With the right person, he's a perfect lap cat. show less

Francine is a spunky girl with a voracious appetite and a lot to say. She's pretty vocal and loves attention, but she's not too keen on being picked up. She loves being pet on her head though, and she sometimes makes cute little "sigh" noises. She might follow you around meowing to try and get food. We only let her have dry food in small portions with a slow feed bowl to make sure she doesn't eat too quickly and get sick. We think she'd eat the whole shelter if she could! Francine wasn't spayed when she came to us, and it turned out she had pyometra. Our animal care manager noticed it almost seemed like Francine had a mass or large lump in her belly, but it was her uterus. Pyometra is an infection of the uterus which, if left untreated, can be fatal. She received an immediate antibiotic injection and was scheduled for a spay as soon as possible. Spay surgeries for pyometra usually cost a little more and are more invasive than a standard spay surgery because the uterus is enlarged. Francine has healed well so far from her surgery but did have a larger than usual incision/scar. It's been over a week now, and she's ready to come home with you where she can eat even more snacks! More information on pyometra:https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/pyometra-in-cats, http://granvillevet.com/whats-the-difference-between-a-200-spay-vs-a-2000-spay/, https://www.northshorehumane.org/pyo-what-what-if-simple-surgery-could-prevent-life-threatening-situation-occurring-your-pet. It's important to spay your dog or cat sooner than later! Spaying saves lives. show less

Moose is a big, BIG shy boy who came to us as a stray. We tried to find his original owner to no avail, so here he is, looking for a new one home. And when we say big, we mean it! He was named Moose for a reason. This handsome boy is a whooping 18 pounds of love. He was shy at first but it seems he has become quite the lovey boy who wants his chin scratched. Is there room in your home for the gentle giant? show less

Cody is a shy and sweet older boy (16! but he doesn't look it!) who would do best in a quiet home with no other animals. Right now he's still a bit confused about why he's not in his home anymore... so he hides a lot in his cage still. He loves hideout/enclosed beds that are dark and cozy. We think once he's in a home and has time to relax and settle he will come out of his shell a little. Will you love Cody for his glory years? show less

JJ is available for pre-adoption only as he still needs to be neutered! Hi my name is JJ! I'm a sweet boy who is a little shy. When I first got to the shelter, I was a little beaten up from some cats that didn't like me. This made me feel really sick and my wounds were infected. The nice humans here gave me medication and so much love and I feel a lot better! Because I was sick, I had to wait for my neuter but I'm finally healthy enough to go now. Once I recover from that, I would love to find a quiet home with some kind humans, maybe other cats who would be nice to me, and a window seat so I can lay in the sun. I'm nervous at first but I do love to be held and pet. I also love giving head boops to nice humans. Do you have a place in your home for a quiet guy like me? show less

Twinkle is a sweet little girl with gorgeous blue eyes. She loves catnip and toys and she's happy being held and pet. She's just about as good as they get, folks! She's been around one (calmer) dog and did wonderfully, but we aren't sure how she will do with cats. With a proper, slow introduction, she should be fine in most households. We think she'd be gentle enough to be around kids of any age. She's also energetic enough to be entertaining and confident, but not TOO energetic or boisterous. Fill out an application if you'd like to take this special girl home! show less

Interested in some friendly black cats? You're in luck because me and my sister Nell are the epitome of lap cats! We love getting pet and just getting attention in general. I'm a bit more confident than my sister and I'll walk right up and rub on your legs and demand some attention. Nell prefers you do all the work and go up to her for love. We're 8 years old but we still play like kittens. Give me a few toys and some catnip and you'll have hours of entertainment! My sister and I like other cats too! We're pretty chill cats ourselves so I think we would be fine with a dog in the home as long as they were cat savvy. We've been indoors our entire lives so we prefer to stay that way. My sister may possibly have an eye condition that requires surgery but the humans have reassured her that it's simple and quick. She's on treatment currently and we'll find out if surgery is needed in a couple weeks. You can still fill out an application on us though! We would love to find a home of our own and some humans to love. And I heard the SPCA humans say that people interested in us can call for more information about Nell's eyes. show less

Hello there! Why take home one cat when you can take home two?! My brother Coco and I are a package deal, but it's a fantastic deal for you! We're both affectionate and friendly cats. We're 8 years old which means we're a great combination of playful and sleepy. We're happy with a toy and some catnip or a nice warm nap on our person's lap. We're not picky about what foods we eat and we're both excellent about using our litter box. At the moment, I have an eye condition called entropion. My eyes are watery a lot but the humans give me eye ointment and that helps me feels better. I was told that I may need surgery but I don't mind since I'll feel better afterwards. If you're interested in adopting Coco and I, please fill out an application! I would be a lot more comfortable healing from my surgery in my new home... show less

Hi! My name is Onyx and while I am a super shy cat, I am also super sweet once I get to know you. My sister, Raven, is the outgoing one, whereas I like to sit back and observe quietly first. I also am very athletic! I can climb just about anything, love playing with my sister Raven, and even love running on the cat-sized hampster wheel here at the SPCA. Because my confidence totally depends on my sister being nearby, we need to be adopted as a pair - but that just means more love and fun for you! I am more easily spooked than my sister and may not do well with rambunctious kids running around since I have a history of bad anxiety. I used to be so anxious, I was plucking out all of my fur! I had naked little chicken legs when I arrived at the shelter after my sister came here first. I missed her so badly! I still take once-daily anti-anxiety medication that really helps me calm down and not make myself a nakey little boy. That's something I'll need my future family to continue to administer to me. And although I don't run up for love like my sister, I do like people and really appreciate being given time to get to know you. Once we're friends, I like sitting by you and being petted but I maintain my independence and don't want to be a lap cat at this point. What I do love, besides my sister, are toys! I'm very particular about toys and know exactly which ones I want to play with, so seeing me find my favorite toys and playing with them is a real treat for the shelter staff! PS - We both were diagnosed with a genetic issue called megacolon when we were kittens. However, we recently learned that Raven was misdiagnosed and actually has intestinaly dysbiosis. My symptoms have been mostly controlled by medication, but the shelter thinks I may need to be re-evaluted to see if I was misdiagnosed as well. While we're not QUITE ready to be adopted yet because we've got these health questions lingering, we are both SUPER ready to know when we will go home in the future! So please consider filling out an application on us today - the best things in life come to those who wait! That's right - the best things are two awesome black cats! show less

HI! My name is Raven and I am a SUPER smart cat who can open up pretty much any locked door in the shelter... or cabinet... or bin of cat treats... or anything I feel like sticking my head into! As a result, I make the humans here laugh all the time. I'm kinda the shelter clown. But don't let that deter you - the humans here have unfortunately figured out how to "Raven-proof" the place, so, it's possible to outsmart me, I guess. I am also super atheletic and absolutely love running on my cat-sized hampster wheel; check out my video! I also am totally bonded to my brother Onyx. He might be a bit shy, but I think he is the best brother. In addition to being a bit of a character, I also absolutely LOVE human affection - give me pets, and give them to me ALL the time. And don't you dare lock me out of the room you're in! I wanna be where the people are! So if you are looking for a super smart kitty who will make you laugh, please consider adopting me and my brother Onyx today. PS - I have a condition called intestinal dysbiosis, where my gut doesn't produce enough good bacteria. I've been managing my symptoms with a special die and probiotics. Things are much better now! If you want to learn more about my condition, this is what it is like in humans: https://microbiome.ferring.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw8rT8BRCbARIsALWiOvRf5RVpEUcKI2ivvETqAk7cyt-KgXvtoiyHR1VDRhzp5VLH8ow0SwgaAitvEALw_wcB and here is a link to information on stomach problems in animals and how it affects us: http://www.millikenanimalclinic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/small_intestinal_dysbiosis.pdf Raven is one of the funniest sweetest cats here. She is endlessly entertaining, upbeat, and outgoing. She's one of the favorite long-term residents here. show less
