Tabby and Domestic Medium Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Marietta, Ohio

Tulio is an adorable 3-year old male kitty who was brought to the HSOV on April 7, 2026 by a Good Samaritan who found him on Sixth Street in Marietta Ohio. Tulio was not wearing a collar, and he was not microchipped.

This handsome guy has a gray tabby medium-haired coat, a long fluffy tail, and a beautiful face with golden eyes, a gray velvet nose, a dusting of white on his muzzle/chin, and long white whiskers.

Tulio has a super-friendly, outgoing personality ... Surely someone has given him loving attention since he reaches out to be loved.

Tulio was given vaccinations and Pyrantel dewormer on April 8, 2026. He weighed 7.5 lbs that day.

These pictures of Tulio were taken on April 10, 2026 when HSOV Kennel Techs Lauryn Hamilton and Madison Lee spent time with him in our 'studio' and assisted him with his photo session. Tulio was a willing participant, and he seemed to enjoy posing for the camera and being the center of attention. When we were about to wrap up the photo session, Tulio began pawing around in the wicker basket which was overflowing with pale blue Hawaiian leis .. And we were puzzled about what he was searching for (hmmm)? Turned out Tulio pulled out a dark blue lei which had larger flowers than the pale blue ones .. And Tulio began posing for more photos when he chose his preferred photo props (smile).

Since Tulio was not reclaimed, we will have him neutered in the near future (tentatively on May 4th) and find him a fabulous home.
