About Pretzel

Pretzel is a lovely female Calico kitten who joined the Humane Society of the Ohio Valley family on July 16th, 2026, after being found in a parking lot in Marietta, Ohio. At that time, she was just 3 months old, weighing around 2.7 lbs. With her striking black, orange, and white short coat, Pretzel boasts an affectionate tricolored face featuring golden eyes, a charming black beauty mark near her pink nose, and delicate long white whiskers. Her sociable nature and Type A personality make her a true social butterfly. This sweetheart has thrived in a wonderful foster home where she developed a close bond with Glove Box, her soulmate. They are a bonded pair, and their connection really shines through as Pretzel naturally takes on the role of protector and big sister while Glove Box follows her lead. Pretzel was spayed on September 28th, 2026, and after returning to the shelter in mid-October, she has settled in well with her brother in The Jungle Room. She has been fully vaccinated and is house trained. Now, this adorable duo is excited to find their forever home together, where they can bring joy to a new family. What are you waiting for?
