Zuko (Neutered) - Tabby and Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Marietta, Ohio

Zuko is a handsome 8-year old male kitty who was brought to the HSOV on July 12th 2026. Unfortunately, the individual who transported Zuko to our shelter did not provide a location as to where he was found or any information about him ... So his history began the day we first met him.

Zuko has a brown tabby short-haired coat, a long ringed tail, and a sweet face with golden eyes, a brown velvet nose, and long white whiskers.

This older gentleman had a rather rugged appearance, and our kennel techs noted that Zuko had broken teeth, fleas, a wound on one of his ears, and one cheek that was much larger than the other.

Zuko was examined by one of our wonderful local veterinarians who determined that he had an abscess in his mouth and several teeth which needed to be extracted. After the abscess was cleared up, Zuko underwent a dental procedure and was also neutered while he was under anesthesia.

Zuko is feeling much better after he received the medical attention which he desperately needed, and he is ready to find a loving home.

Zuko is good with children, other cats, and dogs. He is litterbox trained.

We hope that a kind individual or family will give Zuko the loving home which he truly deserves. Zuko would be ever so thankful to be loved and spoiled to his heart's content.
