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

Bowser is a handsome 8-year old male kitty who was surrendered by his owner on May 2, 2026 along with his housemate/companion (Lilly). Their owner was moving and couldn't have pets in the new residence.

Bowser has a dark brown tabby-and-white shorthaired coat, a long ringed ring, and an adorable chubby tabby-and-white face with dark golden eyes, a brown tabby 'mustache' on his white muzzle, and extra-long white eyebrows and whiskers.

This good-looking guy has a sweet disposition and comes to the front of his cage in anticipation of attention when anyone walks by ... And rolls over for belly rubs.

Bowser was given vaccinations and Pyrantel dewormer on May 8, 2026. He weighed 8 lbs that day.

Since Bowser has already been neutered, he could leave our shelter immediately with an approved HSOV adoption application. He would love to be back in a home with someone special to love him as much as his previous owner did.
