We have 96 available cats and kittens right now, vetted and ready for homes! This does NOT include our kittens who are too young or cats with medical needs right now. No other place in Licking County with this selection of sweetness, come visit! Entirely volunteer run, your visit supports their care...

**Note that the majority of our kittens are in foster care and not at Whiskers Catnip Cottage... Fill out the app to set up a meet and greet!

The cottage is full of kitties that think they are ferocious♥️.

Nothing better than being greeted by 20 extremely friendly cats when you walk in the door! Come see us, we're opening early, at 11am for the summer weekends! www.whiskersofohio.org to reserve your times... Your visit supports the 125+ cats currently in care with Whiskers Animal Rescue of Ohio! Support local, and support our 100% volunteer efforts!

Most of these little guys will be at Whiskers Catnip Cottage in Granville, OH this weekend for potential adopters to visit! Lounge passes still required, but covers both kitten room and the main lounge -- kitten room for serious adopters only. They've been vaccinated but their little immune systems are still building.

www.whiskersofohio.org to make reservations, just click on the Catnip Cottage page! We are entirely volunteer run -- your admission covers their care and supplies.

Some of the kittens are currently at our local adoption partners in Heath, at Petco or Petsmart -- we can arrange to have them at the Cottage as well if we know that you specifically want to meet! This includes Cholula, Fudge, Luna, Ginny, Tom, 'Shroom, Thistle and Angel.

All of our available cats are on our website and come to you fully vetted (spay/neuter, age appropriate vaccines, microchip, dewormed and free of fleas) and most have a $125 adoption fee.

We have a boatload of kitties in care, and need these little guys to find homes so we can help more! Put your app in before you come out and we will do our best to get you approved pending meet and greet!

One of our fosters/volunteers is offering to host a garage sale (this weekend) benefiting our rescue! Asking for good condition items only please! Nothing broken or missing pieces/parts:)

Drop off at 74 Kelly Marie Dr, Pataskala -- if you have something amazing to donate and don't want to make the drive, we can arrange drop off at Whiskers Catnip Cottage.

As always, thank you for your support!

We've had so many adoptions in the past few weeks, and we appreciate each and every one of you! But this boy, he gets his own post... Past adopters of ours came to visit, and Fred let them know quickly that he chose them!

♥️Fred came to us LAST SUMMER as a semi-feral 3 month old that we trapped with two remaining littermates. One littermate stayed with the foster, and he and his sister Velma ultimately joined us at Whiskers Catnip Cottage, and were placed in our Feline Correctional Institute😅. He was untouchable for the longest time, but food/treat motivated, and we finally had a breakthrough about two months ago and next thing we know, he couldn't get enough of anyone who walked through the door! He loves to be loved, and loves rough chin scratches.

What is this anti-social room? This sunroom is home to the cats who aren’t quite ready for group snuggle sessions or mingling with the public. There are safe places they can tuck themselves into and feel safe, cat condos to perch, but nowhere to hide where we can't get to them. Whether they're spicy, shy, or simply prefer the company of themselves, they’re given time, space, and understanding to adjust at their own pace. Volunteers with experience and patience are welcome to spend time reading, talking softly, or just sitting quietly to help our "inmates" learn that humans aren’t so bad. Many are food motivated like Fred, and cracking open a can of wet food perks up their sweet little ears... He isn't the first to receive parole, but he and his sister have been there the longest by far... Velma is SO close to her break-through as she now greets anyone who enters but stays out of reach if she can.

No judgment, no rush on these guys — just calm vibes, crunchy treats & INABA Premium Cat & Dog Treats Churu.

We respect their boundaries (most of the time), but have learned which ones we can push to accept some pets. We don't give up on our guys, whether they're not social or getting old; even the grouchiest cat has potential to earn early parole with love.

Thank you for helping us give every cat a chance to thrive — even the ones with a bit of cattitude. 🐾

If you've never been to a cat cafe -- think of it as an experience. You aren't paying to pet the cats as much as support their stay while they await for their forever homes! Your admission charge covers their food, litter, supplies and helps with their vetting needs as well.. There are 20 cats in the lounge waiting to shower you with their love❤️.

Come see us Saturday, take a break from the heat in the Granville 4th of July festival; cool off in our air conditioned lounge full of friendly kitties, enjoy a cold drink and a restroom with PLUMBING! Save those stinky portapots for all those dog people!

Mention this post for a free soda or water during your lounge visit:) Open 1-6p Saturday and Sunday this weekend, best to reserve time slots online! www.whiskersofohio.org

Happy tails to the cats and kittens that got adopted in the last few weeks! Note that quite a few of them are adults or older kittens❤️. Thank you to our adopters for supporting us and choosing to rescue!

So disappointed in people... There is NEVER a good enough reason to dump a helpless kitten at a place this close to the road. Good thing she's got a big mouth or I'm not sure we'd have ever even found her. If we hadn't, the raccoons tonight would have... She's safe and sound, tucked away inside for the night (still yelling I'm sure) with food, water and a soft bed.
If this was you that did this, do better. Hoping that karma finds you soon😎.

These Cutie are at PetSmart in Heath! All 5 have very unique coloring for tabbies, Lilo and Pleackley are marble tabbies, Stitch has amazing spots, Angel is a warm caramel color and Jumbo is majority white!

They were ALL bottle babies and spoiled rotten for months! They were found only one to two weeks old. They love their humans deeply.

Their fees are all the same at 125! All have been dewormed, microchipped, spayed/neutered, vaccinated age permitting.

Kittens are required to go in pairs if no other younger cat in home.

Ever wonder what we do behind the scenes? This boy was a TNR that went in for a neuter this past week -- and ended up needing an entropion surgery done on his right eye. His eyelid rolled inward on itself and would have led to a lifetime of eye infections and corneal injuries; these outdoor guys already lead a hard life as evidenced by the large healing wound on his neck -- so we opted to do the $150 surgery out of pure kindness toward this guy that did not choose this lifestyle... We don't have the funds, but we find it -- and it helps that we are volunteer run and so ALL funds received can go directly toward care of our animals' needs.

If you're inclined to donate to help cover this (rather inexpensive) surgery that SOS did for us, and also so that we can help more like him:
