Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Cleveland, Ohio

🍔 Meet Big Mac 🐾 (6yrs old)
Solid. Stocky. Built like a little tank… and rocking that sleek black “mini panther” look 🖤
This guy didn’t get his name for nothing.
Big Mac came from a group of cats surviving around dumpsters at a local McDonald’s in inner city Cleveland. Some had been ear tipped, so someone had tried to help at some point… but there were still unfixed cats and kittens out there just trying to make it day to day. We were able to bring quite a few to safety, but we know there are more of Big Mac’s friends still waiting. We’ll be back.
And Big Mac? He wasn’t even on our radar at first.
He was up on a hill, tucked back in the shadows, just watching. One of the teenage kittens we were trying to help ran up there, so we set a trap. The kitten checked it out and walked away… and in walks Big Mac instead. Plot twist 😅
At first, we assumed he’d be a TNR guy. He was unsure, cautious, not quite convinced about people. You could pet him, but it had to be on his terms. The wrong angle and he’d hop back or give a nervous little hiss.
Fast forward a couple months… and wow did he prove us wrong ❤️
Big Mac has done the work. He’s healed, he trusts, and now he leans in for affection. He arches that big sturdy body right into your hand and soaks up every bit of love. It’s honestly the best feeling watching a cat like him realize he’s safe.
🐾 About Big Mac
• Handsome black panther vibes
• Solid, sturdy build
• FIV positive but healthy and thriving
• Loves other cats and would really enjoy a feline friend
• Enjoys lounging with his buddies and just being part of the crew
• Affectionate once he knows you, and totally worth earning that trust
FIV sounds scary, but it really isn’t in a home like yours. With good care, indoor living, and proper nutrition, FIV+ cats live long, happy, completely normal lives. We see it all the time. And yes, they can live safely with FIV negative cats too 🐾
Big Mac has already survived the hard part. Now he just needs someone to give him the life he’s been waiting for.
