Story
Ralph is a 4-year-old Tabby/Domestic Shorthair. My partner and I got Ralph and her sister, Moose back in the fall of 2020. They were a part of a litter of kittens from a friend of a friend. I'm not sure of the exact timeline, but in 2021, we got both of them fixed. After the procedure, she started becoming aggressive towards our guests/strangers. She and her sister have always gotten along very well, but I am unsure what her reaction to other animals would be. She has never been aggressive towards us unless we were trying to control her during an aggressive episode. We are looking to rehome her because of our living situation and her behavior. We will be moving in with two roommates, so we will no longer be able to isolate her entirely from other people. Ralph is generally stubborn and a lot to handle, but if she warms up to you, she is incredibly loving, sweet, playful, and cuddly. She doesn't really like to be held, but she will crawl on your lap if she wants to get comfy.

Story
Magic came to us as a stray in early November 2024. We took her in; now, she is up-to-date on all shots and healthy (I will provide vet records). The vet thinks Magic is about a year old. She still needs to be spayed and has an appointment at PetFix on May 7th. She is sweet, loving, social, curious, friendly, and playful.

Story
Emily has made her way to one of our loving foster homes recently, and discovered her very unique personality. Emily is a cat that loves attention and she’s not afraid to let you know it. That said, she is, like most cats, picky about when she wants that attention. Emily is a talker. From the moment you greet her when you wake up, to the time you go to lie down in bed, she’ll respond to whatever you say to her. While she hasn’t completely adjusted to living with other cats that aren’t her kittens, she has shown growth and can coexist with another cat. Given enough time, she will be a great companion to another cat. She’s shown that she wants to play with our cats, she just isn’t sure how to do it — but she is learning! Emily is independent and enjoys the option of alone time. She comes out and interacts with us often, but she enjoys having her own space to rest. She would do best in a home without small children and a limited amount of cats, preferably one or none. We are not sure how she is with dogs. Emily is somewhat territorial of her foster parents and will let our other cats know her feelings. Within the past three weeks, she has gotten better with the other cats and has even attempted to play with one of them. All told, Emily is a great cat and would love to meet her forever home!

Story
Where do we even start with this gorgeous boy? He’s been with us since he was just a couple months old. He is a very special boy who has had special care! He had to spend time with us, while we made sure that he was ready for you. You see, he has a four out of six heart murmur. In his short life, he has already received three echocardiograms and two pro BNP tests. His cardiologist said that he is doing extremely well and should be able to live out a normal life. Since there has been no change in his heart size or the strength of his murmur, she suggested that he come back in 18 months just to make sure that everything is doing well. This is amazing news! That means he can go join your family! The really good thing is if you adopt him he can stay with that same cardiologists. That way you don’t have to be a new patient and start all over again. Right now a patient follow up appointment is about $500 for the echocardiogram and exam. That’s not bad every 18 months for this wonderful, boy! Johnny is a sweet kitty cat that absolutely loves being around other cats. He is very kind and gentle. He would like a calm chill household with snuggly friends. He’s not a big fan of being picked up, but you can if you need to. He loves to play laser with his humans. Would you like to meet handsome Johnny B Goode? Great!

Story
Dippin Dots came to us a while back along with her kittens. She was found in a rough area of a Cleveland suburb trying to survive. She was very shy and nervous for a while. After hanging out in two different foster home, she was able to learn to trust again! She has made great strides, and it is certain that she will thrive in a home with other cat friends. She seems to make friends with cats quite easily. She would also love a chill home with maybe a couple or a single person. Lots of sunny spots are also important to her! She is very comfortable in a home but still is not a fan of being held. She likes being near people and playing with people. She will need patience to acclimate in a new home, and let her light shine. Do you think you have the perfect home for her? Apply to get the process of meeting her started! : https://form.jotform.com/202214857624050

Story
Felix came to EBCP a few years ago. When he was neutered, he was found to have feline leukemia virus. He stayed in a foster home with another boy that was leukemia positive. They were fast friends! They shared a room with all the creature comforts, including a couch and a TV. His buddy passed away from cancer and a couple new friends came to hang out with him because they, too, tested positive. Overtime he has stayed asymptomatic. He even went to the spa a few months ago and got a dental cleaning. We just know that he deserves a family. A whole home with snuggles in bed. He deserves you! For the right family, we will work on transport! You do not have to live in Ohio. We just want to find him the best home ever! Apply to be considered. https://form.jotform.com/202214857624050 You must be a single cat home or have a home with other leukemia positive cats. Dogs are fine.

Story
Once upon a time, Mushu was adopted out as a kitten to a family. He was leukemia positive at the time, and they were told about his virus. Nonetheless, about five months later, he was reported missing after not coming home. They were letting him outside. Fast forward a few months later, and we were told about somebody feeding him at a local chicken drive-through. We agreed to take him. He was scanned for a microchip and he was identified with a local Humane Society. We contacted them right away and let them know that we had a cat that was microchipped under their organization. We let them know that we contacted the adopter multiple times with no response. Right away, they said that he was leukemia positive. We took him to our vet and did additional bloodwork and additional testing and he was still positive. Good thing is he is regressive. That means he is not shedding the virus and his body has kept it dormant. We hope he stays that way for a very long time. He’s just a kitten in a big, huge cat body! He wants to play and romp around. Right now he is living with a couple other positives in a foster home. They have full run of a room with all kinds of cat trees and toys. A couch and a TV are also in that room. All that’s great for now! But we are hoping that he can have a whole home and a big family to love him! Do you think that you? To be considered for adoption you must have a single cat household or other positive cats. Dogs are OK. For the right family, we will work on transport! You do not have to live in Ohio. We just want to find him the best home ever! Apply to be considered. https://form.jotform.com/202214857624050
