Domestic Short Hair and Turkish Van Cats Available for Adoption

Doppler has had a rough past few months -- he survived a devastating house fire that displaced him and his owner -- they were living in a camper with no heat in the cold, so she opted to surrender him to give him a better life. He needs a quiet home to land in -- with a single female to live with, where he can decompress at his own pace where he can receive affection and contact. He is extremely sweet and gentle when he is comfortable -- loves chin scratches and human interaction; he likes to be held and needs a experienced/confident cat owner -- when he wants down he wants down, and can be frightened into a panic by sudden movements or multiple people moving toward him. We believe that he has some fear of men. He has just been through a lot... He is a great house guest with good manners; his ideal home would be with a single adult female and non-aggressive feline friends or as an only kitty. He has a $100 adoption fee.

All cats adopted through our rescue are age appropriately vaccinated including rabies & FVRCP/Feline Leukemia vaccines, dewormed & free of fleas, combo tested (negative unless otherwise noted), microchipped and spayed/neutered before adoptions are finalized.

If you would like to adopt, please fill out the application through the link or the website at -www.whiskersofohio.org - please note that the "I'm interested" tab on Petfinder does NOT act as an application, this should only be used for specific questions before committing to an adoption. You will receive an email confirmation when your application goes through. We make no breed guarantees; we are a rescue, not a breeder. Please only apply for a specific kitten if you are committed to adopting! Our workers are all volunteers and it takes time to process applications. We are a registered, volunteer run 501c3 non-profit organization.

Free transport is regularly available to Wayne/Holmes County areas! We do have the ability to fly a cat or pair of kittens via Southwest's SWATT program to any location served by Southwest Airlines. It isn't free but has been a great way to transport animals in a timely manner.
