Marathon - Best Friends with Sloan - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in West Jefferson, Ohio

** In order to adopt a kitten from HSMC, you must live within an hour of the shelter. You will initially "foster to adopt" the kitten and then the adoption will be finalized when they are brought back for their spay/neuter surgery. You may need to bring the kitten back for vaccines and exams prior to their spay/neuter surgery**

Meet Marathon and her siblings

Born 5/8/26, these four adorable shelter babies were found as tiny stray kittens living outside a pharmacy. Thankfully, they're now safe in a foster home, thriving, and ready to fill your home with everything the doctor ordered!

Three handsome mini house panthers, Burke, Derek, and Sloan, are joined by their beautiful torbie sister, Marathon. Together, they're a convenient four-pack of feline adorableness, complete with two best-friend pairs:

Sloan & Marathon are inseparable BFFs who love romping, wrestling, napping, and exploring together.

Burke & Derek are best buddies who can always be found plotting their next adventure or chasing each other through the kitten playground.

These youngsters are tiny balls of energy, curiosity, and affection. They spend their days zooming from one exciting discovery to the next, turning ordinary household objects into the most fascinating toys imaginable. When playtime is over, they're more than happy to curl up for cuddles and recharge for their next adventure.

Because they are so close, they would love to be adopted with their best friend. Kittens raised in pairs often grow into happier, more confident, and better-adjusted cats. They provide companionship, teach each other appropriate play behavior, and help prevent the dreaded Single Kitten Syndrome. After all, nobody wants a tiny Kittenzilla ruling the house! Adopting a pair means double the fun, double the love, and two lives saved instead of one.

Being so tiny, this cute crew would do well in just about any home, whether they are the only kittens in the home, or if they join a family that already has other kitties. They would do just fine with a gentle, cat-friendly dog as well. And of course they would love to buddy up with the children in your life. Care must be taken to protect this tiny crew from being harmed though. Kittens are notorious for fast and unpredictable zoomies and we don't want to see any of our babies get accidently stepped or sat on, or unintentionally hurt by a child or larger animal.

If your family is looking for the perfect prescription for laughter, entertainment, and unconditional love, fill out and application for Burke and Derek or Sloan and Marathon today! Remember that this crew of cuteness resides in a foster home, and not at the shelter, so a meet and greet must be scheduled!
