Story
Speedy is a beautiful brown & black tabby. He is a very affectionate cat that loves to spend time cuddling with his humans and will do best in a single cat household or maybe with a family. Speedy lost his home after my mom passed away and my father was no longer able to care for him. After some relocating, Speedy is now looking for his forever home with a loving family that can shower him with affection. He can be a bit shy at first, but he has a big heart that makes him attached to those around him. He is an athletic cat that loves to play. Some of his favorite toys are strings, rattling mice and catnip sticks. He loves eating Churu treats and recently discovered the joys of being a lap cat! He is turning four on March 26.

Story
I consider True my son. He enjoys a good mixture of nap time laziness and energetic play time. He’s stand offish to most people. I got him as a kitten from an old coworker when their then outside cat had a litter one winter. He will be 3 years old in November 2025. His shots are up to date and he is neutered. I’m rehoming him because I am shipping off to the army soon. I would prefer to have him fostered during my training time so that I can reunite with him by next year.

He is a wonderful cat and loves dogs, people and other cats. We just don’t have the time to take care of him at this time due to just having a baby.

Story
I rehomed Fireball for a friend of mine at the time. I lived in a house that has a little bit of land and Fireball would be an inside/outside cat at the time. I had to move in with my parents about 2 years ago and he strictly began spending time as an inside cat. Where I am going now has another cat and we have unfortunately learned that Fireball doesn't do well with other cats in the home. He Is a very loving cat, he loves to cuddle. His purr is so loud and so comforting. He has a crazy overbite - but he doesn't have any issues eating or doing things a normal cat would do. He can be very playful. He loves to chase a laser light and play with toys. He gets along well with dogs. I have a Great Pyrenees that he doesn't seem to mind. Fireball is litter trained. He also eats just normal Friskies. He has eaten Rachel Ray food in the past. He loves a good treat, whether it be a normal cat treat, some wet food or even some milk. I am looking for a good home for him. He is very loving.

Story
Lulu was rescued from a rural trailer park almost a year ago. She turned out to be heavily pregnant, and she gave birth to the Willy Wonka litter almost immediately, once placed in a foster home. Now, her kittens have been adopted, and she has received veterinary care, and she’s ready to find her forever home! She’s estimated to be about 2-3 years old, and she’s sweet and playful. Ideally, we think Lulu would love to be an only pet. Lulu has been vaccinated and tested negative for FIV/FeLV. She’s also been spayed and microchipped. If you're located in Ohio, and you’re interested in meeting Lulu, please submit an application online via https://www.forgotten4paws.com/adopt-adoptform. Applicants can also request to foster-to-adopt (meaning a cat can be fostered on a trial basis before making a decision to adopt). If you have any questions, send an email to contactusforgotten4paws@yahoo.com.

Story
On the rehoming reason "does not get along with other pet" It was my only choice and not the reason for rehoming. Rosco is a very loveable cat. He will come to when you call his name out or shake his jar of treats. He loves to snuggle and get his belly rubs. He will follow you around the house like he is your shadow curious about everything you are doing. He does try to play with our beagles, but does shy away from them when they get rambunctious and start their zoomies. We do have another cat, they get along for the most part, when Rosco gets aggressive towards our other cat the dogs step in and protect the other cat.

Looking for a great home for our Toby. He just needs a home with more love than we are able to give. With work and children we just aren’t home very much and he wants more love. He is an amazing cat and loves to cuddle.
