Koda (Bear's Kitten) (Photos May-June 2026) - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Marietta, Ohio

Koda is a cute male kitten who was surrendered by his owner on March 26, 2026 along with his mother (Bear) and his brother (Kenai) because his family had too many cats and was unable to care for all of them. Koda and Kenai were tiny 2-week old babies when they entered our shelter.

Koda has a gray short-haired coat, a long tail, and an adorable face with golden eyes, a gray velvet nose, and long gray whiskers.

Momma Bear was a wonderful role model for her two little boys, and she raised them to be happy, socialized/playful youngsters .. And she also accepted an orphan kitten (Tug) whom she raised with her biological kittens. Koda, Kenai, and Tug were separated from Momma Bear after they were weaned .. And they have continued to be a dynamic threesome who are sharing a double-wide cage (smile).

Like so many mother cats, Momma Bear is truly amazing. Bear accepted a few more orphaned kittens after she raised Koda, Kenai, and Tug. Her latest 'foster kitten' is Wasabi (who was a very frightened little boy and is now pretty sweet/playful).

Koda was given vaccinations on June 8, 2026. He has been given Pyrantel wormer as a tiny kitten. Koda was given booster vaccines on June 27, 2026. He weighed 4 lbs that day.

Koda has a super sweet, playful personality, and he dearly loves his brother Kenai and his 'step-brother' Tug.

Koda will be neutered in the near future (tentatively on July 6th) and will be ready to find a loving home.

Update: Koda and his brother Kenai have a home waiting for them (together) since they have an approved adoption application.

We hope that their step-brother Tug will also find a dream home very soon (and will have a kitty playmate/companion to continue his favorite kitten games).
