Meadow loves playtime with her people! After 15-30 minutes of this, she’ll be ready for a nap on the couch with you. Meadow has a great balance of playful energy and relaxed demeanor. This good girl is looking for a great home, could that be you?
She can be a little shy with new people at first, but give her some treats and time and she’ll be ready to give you her heart! Due to her timid nature, we recommend she go to a home with older, dog-savvy children who will respect her space and boundaries. Meadow also prefers male canine companions and would thrive with a playful one in her future home! She will also need to meet them ahead of time before going home with them.

Meet the positively perfect Biscuit Cheeks! This big handsome boy can't wait to snuggle up with his new family. Could that be with you? Biscuit Cheeks has tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) which means that his immune system is weakened and he is more prone to infections diseases and other types of illnesses. There is no cure for FIV; however, many cats live full lives without ever developing severe symptoms and enjoy a great quality of life. FIV cannot be spread to humans but it can be spread to other cats via bite, so Biscuit Cheeks will need to find a home where he is the only cat, or with other FIV positive cats. He also needs to be an indoor-only cat to maintain his health and safety. If you have room in your home and heart for a positively AWESOME cat, he just may be the one for you. Come visit him today! #wemakecolumbushumane

It’s a cozy evening at Columbus Humane as the cats stay warm and dry waiting to meet potential families. There’s a common misconception that an animal shelter is a “scary, smelly and loud” place to be. We work tirelessly to debunk that reputation and are proud of the safe haven we’ve created for animals in need. We want all who enter our doors, both human and companion, to feel safe and cared for. Your support of Columbus Humane provides that first warm bed, full belly and mended heart for pet families all over Central Ohio. #wemakecolumbushumane

Kittens in December! 😱The unusual influx in kittens this time of year means a few things: 1. Warmer weather in winter months creates a longer mating season which creates more cats in our community. 2. Spaying and neutering your pets, stray animals and ferral cats is incredibly important. And lastly, 3. Columbus Humane will have kittens to adopt for the Holidays! How can you help Columbus Humane this time of year?
