We partner with the Athens County Humane Society
We often have ACHS cats in our cat condo at the shop who are available for adoption.
We do not currently have a Friendly Paws adoption program.
If you are interested in fostering please email us at friendlypawspets@gmail.com.
FOUND PETS
Athens does not have a cat shelter. Our humane society employs 1.5 staff members to assist the entire county. Please remember they are very busy and may not be able to assist as quickly as you would like with found or stray cats. Be patient and visit our resources page to help you find homes on your own. If you have found a cat or dog, please list them on the ACHS Lost/Found Facebook page and contact the Athens County Dog Shelter for found dogs and to adopt.
JoJo is about a year old in Jan 2026. She has been at the shop since October and is a hoot. She loves to climb, so counter surfing will be in her future. Come in to visit and she will likely be among many fragile items blending in. She is at a master level for not knocking things over. She is so playful and also affectionate. She must have someone special in her future because it’s crazy she hasn’t been adopted.
JoJo has great litter box manners, plays without her claws and LOVES KIDS. She does however, abhor dogs. We thought she would get used to them but she hasn’t. So, she will need to go to a cat loving home who does not have or intend to have dogs.
JoJo was found abandoned by Fox Lake with her mom, dad and siblings. They have all been adopted so it’s her turn now. She is fully vetted and her adoption fee is $100 to cover some of the costs. Fill out the adoption application above with ACHS and come visit her to see how amazing she is.
We are open 11-6pm weekdays and 10-4pm Saturdays.
