Meet Bumble!

Bumble is a little over a year old and has already been through more than most cats should. He was abandoned at our back door alongside his brother, scared and unsure of what would come next. He needed time, patience, and a quiet space to decompress, and wow, has he blossomed!
Now, Bumble is thriving. He’s affectionate, curious, and loves having his own space to feel safe and loved. He’s ready to find a forever home where he can be the center of attention — no other animals, please, and would do best in a home with older, respectful children.

🐾 Neutered male
🐾 Just over 1 year old
🐾 Needs to be the only pet
🐾 Prefers older kids
🐾 Gentle, independent, and ready for love

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will truly shine in the right environment, Bumble might just be your perfect match.

Come meet Bumble and see if your home is the one he’s been waiting for!

MEET ROACH & KNOX – TWO SPECIAL CATS, ONE INCREDIBLE FRIENDSHIP!

Sometimes, the most meaningful friendships develop between animals who have faced similar challenges. Roach and Knox are a wonderful example of just how much patience, understanding, and companionship can change a cat's life.

Both Roach and Knox have been part of our feline behavioral and socialization program at the Ohio SPCA & Humane Society. Through this program, cats who are fearful, undersocialized, or unfamiliar with human interaction are given the time, patience, and support they need to build confidence and learn to trust.

Meet Roach

Roach is a 4-year-old neutered male who came to us from a large hoarding situation. When he first arrived, he was frightened and unsure of the people around him.

With time and consistent socialization, Roach has made incredible progress. Today, he's a very affectionate, sweet boy who has learned to enjoy human companionship.

Meet Knox

Knox is an almost 5-year-old neutered male who first came to us in 2021 through our Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program. Because we had space available, we decided to give him an opportunity to adjust to indoor life through our socialization program.

Knox has made wonderful progress over the years, but he's still a quiet, independent gentleman who tends to prefer the company of other cats over people.

He enjoys peaceful surroundings, long naps, and his favorite Churu treats. While he may never be the type of cat who constantly seeks human attention, he has so much personality and deserves a loving home where he can simply be himself.

An Unexpected Friendship

Somewhere along the way, Roach and Knox formed a very special bond.

These two are almost always together, and Roach has essentially become Knox's emotional support friend!

While Knox can still be reserved around people, he finds comfort and companionship in Roach. Their friendship has become such an important part of their daily lives, and it's heartwarming to see how much they enjoy being together.

Roach brings the affection, while Knox brings his quiet, laid-back personality. Together, they make a wonderful pair.

Our greatest hope is to find a family willing to adopt Roach and Knox together.

They have both overcome so much, and after everything they've been through, we would love nothing more than to see them continue their lives side by side in a loving home.

Their ideal family would understand that every cat develops trust at their own pace and would give Knox the patience and space he needs while enjoying Roach's affectionate personality. A quieter home with older, respectful children would be a wonderful fit.

4 years old

Knox

🚨 EMERGENCY MEDICAL FUNDING NEEDED – MEET KOA 🚨

It has been an incredibly overwhelming day here at the Ohio SPCA & Humane Society, and we are doing everything we can to keep up.

Meet Koa, a tiny but incredibly feisty kitten who is now our third medical emergency today.
Koa was just brought into our care with a suspected injury from being hit by a vehicle. He is currently unable to walk normally and is dragging both of his back legs. We are concerned about a possible spinal or pelvic injury.
Despite everything, this little guy is bright, alert, and full of fight. He may be tiny, but he certainly has a big personality!

Our medical team is working to determine the extent of his injuries and what treatment he will need. The emergencies keep coming, and unfortunately, so do the medical expenses.
We are already facing significant financial challenges, and days like today make it even harder to keep our medical fund afloat. We are exhausted, overwhelmed, and doing our absolute best to make sure every animal who comes through our doors receives the care they deserve.But we cannot do this without your help.

If you are able, please consider donating to our Emergency Medical Fund to help Koa and the other animals who urgently need us.
Donate to our Emergency Medical Fund: https://ohiospca.org

Even a small donation makes a difference. If you cannot donate, sharing this post helps tremendously.

Thank you for continuing to stand beside us, especially on days like today. We truly could not do this without you. 💙

ORION UPDATE: SURGERY IS COMPLETE!

We are happy to share that Orion made it through his emergency surgery today!

Due to the severity of his injuries, Orion's tail had to be amputated. He still has some healing and recovery ahead of him, but we are grateful that he was able to receive the medical attention he desperately needed. We will be picking him up shortly!

We want to extend a very special thank you to the wonderful team at Serendipity Clinic Ohio Not only were they available after hours last night to assist us with Orion's emergency, but they also made arrangements to get him in for emergency surgery this morning.

Serendipity has been there for our shelter and animals on so many occasions. Their kindness, compassion, and dedication truly mean more to us than words can express. We are incredibly fortunate to have such a wonderful veterinary team supporting our mission.

We also want to thank everyone who donated, shared Orion's story, offered encouragement, or sent positive thoughts his way.

Because of your generosity, we can continue providing lifesaving medical care to animals like Orion who desperately need someone to fight for them.

We could not do this without you.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so very much!

We will continue to share updates as Orion recovers.

The Ohio SPCA & Humane Society would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported us during this difficult time.

The outpouring of kindness from our community and fellow animal lovers has been truly incredible. Whether you have made a monetary donation, dropped off much-needed supplies, shared our posts, or reached out to offer assistance, please know how much your support means to us.

Recently, we shared an urgent request for cat food because our shelves were nearly empty. Thanks to your generosity, our shelves are stocked again, and the cats in our care have the food they need!

We are also continuing to work with local businesses and community partners to explore opportunities that will help secure the future of our shelter and the animals who depend on us.

While we still have challenges ahead, your compassion and generosity remind us that we are not facing them alone.

To every individual, family, and business that has stepped forward to help, thank you. Every donation, every shared post, and every act of kindness makes a difference.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in our mission and standing beside us.

Meet Sharpie, a beautiful black kitty with wide golden eyes and a heart that’s learning to trust again. At 4 years old, she’s naturally shy and cautious in new environments, but with patience, kindness, and time, Sharpie starts to reveal the soft, loving cat beneath the surface.

She’s not one to rush into laps, but give her a treat or dangle a toy, and you’ll start to see her curiosity shine through. She’s especially comforted by the presence of other cats and would do best in a home with a calm feline companion to help her feel secure.

Shy but gentle
Loves treats and soft encouragement
Thrives with another cat friend
Enjoys occasional play once she feels safe

✅ Spayed
✅ Vaccinated
✅ Litter box trained
✅ A quiet companion waiting to bloom

Ideal Home: Sharpie is looking for a peaceful, patient home with adopters who understand that love sometimes takes time. A household with another gentle cat and no small children would be ideal for her continued confidence and comfort.
