Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Marietta, Ohio

Mr. Business is a handsome 2-1/2 year old male kitty who arrived at the HSOV on April 11, 2026 after he was found on Industry Road in Marietta Ohio. This big boy was not wearing a collar, and he was not microchipped.

This good-looking guy has a black short-haired coat with small patches of white on his chest/belly, a long tail, and a chubby face with golden eyes, a black velvet nose, and long black whiskers.

Mr. Business has a friendly, easygoing personality and was cool, calm, and collected when these photos were taken on April 16th and April 23, 2026. He was quite relaxed while he leisurely stretched out and gazed at the camera lens .

Mr. Business was given vaccinations and Pyrantel dewormer on April 12, 2026. He is a fairly big fellow who likely weighs 9-10 lbs.

Since he was not reclaimed, Mr. Business will be neutered (tentatively on May 4, 2026) and will soon be ready to find his forever home.
