What an attention-loving sweetie of a trikitty! Tina is a 6-7yr old, 11lb calico and this is what Columbus Dog Connection in Columbus, OH has to say about her:
Tina has lived at a cat colony for the last few years. She disappeared for a few months and returned with an injured leg. The colony caretaker took her to vet and her leg needed to be amputated due to a bad fracture. Tina has adjusted and doing quite well. She now needs a loving, foster or forever, indoor home.
She is shy at first but once she gets to know you, she is very loving and enjoys a lot of attention. She is very good with other cats and younger cats seek her out to cuddle & just hang out. She is very maternal. She is scared of dogs. She will do best in a home with no children.
If interested, please email Mirna at Mirnabowman.cdc@gmail.com

Psst! - If Tina is taken or isn’t quite for you, perhaps consider his other Buckeye State trikitty neighbors such as, Cash, Granger, Trapper John, Cash, Tre, Milton, Blueberry Crumble, Mars & Moonpie, Golden Eagle, Butch, Tre, North, and Athena!
There are also some amazing tripups in the area too: American Bully, Cayden, Holly, JS Rich Spirit "Ritchie", Lobo, Orion, Brodie, Abraham, Elsie, Gemmini, Raider, Minnie, and General!
* If you plan to adopt across state lines, contact the rescue ahead of your visit to learn their policies.

And if these tripawds aren’t near enough or the right fit for you, perhaps share them with someone who is?
To find a better matched tripawd of your own, go check out the rescue forum, or try this!

Note: With any tripawd, it’s good to ask about the reason for the amputation if it’s unlisted, just to get a clearer picture of the pet’s health and history. “Unknown” isn’t a dealbreaker, but more info can help you as a pet parent make a more informed decision!

Thanks for sharing! She is a gorgeous girl, hope she finds that purrfect family soon.
All - are you or is someone you know in central Ohio and looking for an affectionate sweetie to be a nurturing maternal influence on your indoor colony or young cat? Ms. Tina’s your gal!
Not a fit for households with children or (probably) dogs, but hey, we’ve all got our lines in the sand, eh?

Thanks for bumping this up. Tina needs a home everyone, help us spread the word!
All - Ms. Tina is still out there looking for her hooman(s) and indoor cat company in central Ohio! Is that you or someone you know??
Also, if that’s not where you are or she’s not quite the match for you, I’ve added 27 other trikitties and tripups in the main post above for you to go and meet!!
