Audra - Tortoiseshell Cat for Adoption in Columbus, Ohio

Meet sweet little Audra!

Audra is a small tortie-with-white, one-eyed baby doll.

She, her mom, and her siblings were rescued in early September. Audra is the smallest of the three kittens. In fact, she was only half a pound of fluff, weak, and sick. But she's a fighter. Her left eye did not respond to daily treatments due to the extreme upper respiratory infection, and the vet determined it was best to remove it at the same time as she was spayed. Since she had little to no vision in that eye before surgery, she required little adjustment time afterward. She was jumping and playing again very quickly. What a little trooper!

Her foster mom calls Audra the fluffy little sprite. She will wrestle her bigger brothers and play with toys, then cuddle when she's had enough. She's a classic example of a little girl with two brothers, if you know what we mean!

If you have room in your home and your heart for two cats, her mama April may adjust to a home better with a cat she knows, and Audra is April's "mini me!"

Rescue story: April (small tortie female mom) and her three kittens—Amadeus (black male), Abram (tuxedo male) and Audra (tortie-with-white female)—were rescued "just in time" in early September when it was over 90F outside. The kittens were about four weeks old and had upper respiratory and eye infections. Mama April is a good mama, even though she was ill as well. Once they received medical care, love, quality food, and were out of the elements, they recovered and thrived. The kittens have had a chance to be kittens! All are now fully vetted and ready to be adopted.

Audra needs to be adopted to a home with another playful cat or with one of her brothers. As of the beginning of November, she is approximately 3 months.

The Tortoiseshell cat is known for its unique coat pattern that blends various hues of red, black, and orange in a striking mosaic. These cats are predominantly female due to the genetics behind their coat coloration. Tortoiseshells are often affectionate and independent, with individual personalities that shine through. Their coats are a beautiful patchwork of colors, making them highly sought-after pets for cat lovers seeking a companion with a vibrant and dynamic appearance.
