Are you looking for an easy, low-maintenance cat? Conifer is your girl. She loves to hang out where you are and maybe chat a bit. She uses her scratchers, doesn't jump on counters, and will play for a bit with you or by herself. She's also super photogenic, so she is happy to spend a lot of time posing for you.

Do you want to meet Conifer? Click here: https://ohioalleycat.org/adopt/ and we would love to introduce you. You can drop by the Adoption Center anytime during open adoption hours. All are welcome! Questions? Email us at [email protected]

🐝 Do you see that??!! 🕳️🙀

Bumblebee is but a “mere cat” but she sees Thanksgiving quickly approaching and knows we need to get these kitties out of our intake area before the holiday!

We have some very, very cute and good ladies and gentleman and even some youngins who would all love to spend the holiday at your place.

Can you help? Sign up to foster today .org/foster OR go On Deck if you’re a current foster.

🧌🌊 Meet our little creature from the *not so dark* Lagoon! Like any proper “dilute orange” tabby, this sweet boy is alllllll light and love and one shared brain cell. 🍊🧠 Lagoon is a sweet and snuggly little guy who adores other playful cats and, at only 6 months old, you can have a kitten who already knows how to “adult”! His house manners are impeccable (unless he’s zooming, of course). 💨

📦 Curious, goofy, playful, Lagoon will never be the cat that rejects your fancy new toys for the box. Obviously, he’ll also play with the box, but he’ll explore every new toy, string, bag, etc. your spoiling heart can provide. He also loves treats. You’re going to love spoiling this little dude! 😽

👋 He won’t last much longer! OAR’s Adoption Center is open:

🐾 M, W, Th, F: 12-7
🐾 Tuesday: 12-4
🐾 Sat, Sun: 12-3

🎄 If people who put their Christmas trees up earlier are happier**, then Elena must be one joyous little kitty cat, because we’re letting her kick off Christmas early this year! We know she’s happy when she’s making those air-biscuits! 🎁

🥳 Some might shy away from starting the celebration so early, but not our Elena! She’s a serious looking lady with her “resting concerned face”, but she’s really only serious about having fun! Let’s get this holiday party season started and get Elena in a home to enjoy all the things this season brings! If you bring her home, you’ll get a very polite, sweet, affectionate, and playful cat who longs for all the snuggles and cuddles. 😽

** The people in this study must not have a houseful of rambunctious kitties, but it’s hard not to smile watching them absorb all the holiday magic, even if you have to put your tree back together nightly.. Fortunately, Elena is one of the most demure kitties we know. 😉

😻➕ Elena Gilbert doesn’t mind (actually, really adores) other cats but has tested positive for FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus) and must live as an only cat or with other FeLV+ cats. We have several positively purrfect cats she’d be happy to go home with if you prefer she has a feline buddy. Elena definitely wouldn’t complain if you brought one of her snuggly roommates home with her! FeLV+ cats can live with dogs and other animals. OAR will cover this cat’s medical care related to FeLV (contact us for details). 👍

🌹 We can’t believe we haven’t let you know about our Golden Girl, Rose, yet, who is living out her golden years here with us. She is a total queen, (fresh off a thorough teeth cleaning so excuse the pupils) and ready to go HOME, asap! ⭐️

🤩 If you don’t fall in love with her beauty, then she’ll definitely win you over with her gentle nature. Now, Rose is a calico, so you kinda gotta let her love you on her terms but she will love you! She is a total lapcat and adores pets, asking for a chance at both frequently. Don’t count her out for a play session either! She won’t wear you out but she’s got some hunt left in her, especially a string or toy mouse. 🐭

🍁 TODAY is the very LAST day of our fall promo so grab that adult or senior you’ve had your eye on! Today, all cats 7 years and older, will have a reduced adoption fee of just $40 for our ‘Fall in Love’ Adoption Promotion. 🍂

📰🗞️🚨 Special Saturday Edition - move over John Krasinski, we’ve got Archie and he’s definitely got some hearts pitter-pattering over here. 😍🥰😘

👀 Archie is a big ole sweetie with the most handsome coat and huge green eyes. He’s so easy to fall in love with because he’s just a super easy guy to get along with! He loves everyone he meets, including other cats, eats anything you put in front of him, lives to snuggle and make biscuits, follows you around like a puppy, and just generally is everything you’d want in a kitty. 😽

🍁 This is the very last weekend of our fall promo and you don’t want to miss it! Through November 17th, all cats 7 years and older, including sweet Archie, will have a reduced adoption fee of just $40 for our ‘Fall in Love’ Adoption Promotion. 🍂

OAR’s foster volunteers make a big difference in our adoption program cats’ lives from the comfort of their own home! 🏠

204 cats🐈 were in foster homes with ✨90 foster volunteers over the course of the entire month in October.

📸One of these lucky cats was the very photogenic 🐈‍⬛Scythe.

Thank you to incredible OAR foster volunteers, Jeannine and Kate, for fostering not only Scythe, but his siblings: Scimitar, Stiletto, and Baton! They have been fostering for OAR since January 2023. Kate has also been volunteering on one of our Cat Care teams since February 2021 and she is one of our amazing co-leads for the team!

Great news! All kittens in this litter were adopted in October.🎉🎉🎉

OAR foster volunteers are #1! 😻

🚨 We are short 4 foster homes for our kitties that came in this week! Who wants to make this Foster Friday a celebration by giving some of these adorable friends a place to kick it over Thanksgiving?? 🚨

😷 Stress and overcrowding in a shelter environment is the main cause of preventable illness in our cats, so if you are able, please please please sign up or go On Deck today! 🥰

If all else fails, just try saying “no” to these sweet faces. Sign up at ohioalleycat.org/foster to get started. 📝

✨ It’s our last day of Practice Manager Appreciation Week so we’d love if you would join us in thanking our 🐾 pawsome 🐾 Practice Managers one last time! We actually have several medical departments at OAR, each overseen by some of the best managers in the biz. 💪

🙌 So, last, but certainly not least, Katie is our Clinic Team Manager. While Katie runs the clinic team now, she has actually been with us all the way back to our Kittengarten days with all the teeny baby kitten snuggles (and plenty of hard work too). These days though, Katie deals with bigger humans and cats by making sure our surgery team is well coordinated and able to deal with any hiccups, of which, there are plenty many days. 🤩

🙀 Incredible work and THANK YOU, Katie! She is in a less client facing role so you may not know her face but we promise she’s wrapped your sweet babies into a warm blanket and probably given them a nice ear cleaning or nail trim, along with some sleepy snuggles while under her excellent care. 📣😸

OAR Volunteers are the real deal! ♥️♣️♦️♠️

🐈‍⬛274 volunteers clocked in 1,643 volunteer hours which allowed us to help the 323 cats that were in OAR’s adoption program over the course of the entire month in October.

🧡Vitamix was very excited to see his favorite volunteer!
Bradie is one of the dedicated volunteers on our Cat Care teams.

Thank you to ALL of our volunteers! We appreciate you! 😻

🐞 “Eeeek, it’s a bug!” At least we assume that’s what people are thinking because our sweet, sweet Lilly Bug can’t seem to find a place to lay her little head at night. 🐞

🗓️🗓️ She has been with us far too long, nearly 2 years, and between all the moving around, we know very well how much she loves to be in a home with people! While it’s not her total preference, she also can live with other polite and calm cats, unlike the crazy ones we have here at OAR. It’s just a little too much for this older gal but she is still quite appreciative and affectionate when things are calm and quiet. 🥰😻

🐦 She’d adore somewhere she can bird watch from a sunny window, loaf, sleep with her human, and get in a little playtime with some string (between her loafing, of course). She is a total lap cat but doesn’t require a ton of attention. She just wants some peace, love, food, sunshine, and a warm lap.. she’s a simple gal and we think she’s got the right idea! ☀️

🍁 We’re having a “senior moment” over here at OAR so we’ve extended our fall promo through this week! So now through November 17th, all cats 7 years and older will have a reduced adoption fee of just $40 for our ‘Fall in Love’ Adoption Promotion. 🍂

🏡 Lilly Bug currently resides at OAR’s Adoption Center so you just have to stop by to meet her anytime during our open adoption hours:

🐾 M, W, Th, F: 12-7
🐾 Tuesday: 12-4
🐾 Sat, Sun: 12-3

And check her out in action in her foster home here!! https://www.facebook.com/share/v/MVv7gDffhmWiCK19/?mibextid=WC7FNe

✨ Happy Practice Manager Appreciation Week!! We’d love if you would join us in thanking our 🐾 pawsome 🐾 Practice Managers! We actually have several medical departments at OAR, each overseen by some of the best managers in the biz. 💪

👏 Today, we’re giving Emily, our Foster, Intake, & Medical Manager, a big, huge shoutout! What doesn’t Emily do?? We’re not sure but, if you’ve fostered with us, then you probably know her well. Did you know she also oversees our intake, which some days is a whole lotta cats?! She also acts as a liaison between our medical pros, giving them the time and space to do what they do best. Emily is such a pro and handles all the chaos with such grace and compassion. 🙌

🚑 Emily also takes some of our neediest kitties into her own home to foster. In addition to dealing with some of our neediest humans, we think that makes her a pretty special person (and a professional cat herder)! 😻

🙀 Incredible work and THANK YOU, Emily! Give her a shout out if you happen to see her around this week. 📣😸
