Ivern (DOB:4/24/2024) is a man who has really come out of his shell. He loves to sunbathe by the front window and meet new visitors to the adoption center. He is a sweet handsome tabby who is hoping he will get a chance at a lovely life with an amazing human.

Scarlet (DOB: 7/16/2023) was a sweet mama who did a wonderful job raising her three kittens and is now ready to enjoy a home of her own. She’s a chill, gentle girl who loves nothing more than relaxing next to her foster mom for pets and brushing sessions.

Scarlet also enjoys simple pleasures—looking out the window, lounging in her favorite cat tree, using her scratching post, and indulging in Churu treats. She’s definitely a homebody, happiest in a calm, cozy environment.

She can be a little shy at first, and you may need to look around the adoption center cat trees to spot her, but once she feels comfortable, her sweet and affectionate side really shines through. Scarlet is ready for a forever family who will give her the love (and snacks!) she deserves.

We are so thankful for volunteers who research grants available from their employers that might benefit Colony Cats.
Thank you Gaymon and Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives for a grant of $500 to help the cats in our care. Every dollar matters because every cat matters!

Emma (DOB: 3/20/2022 ) is a sweet and curious little soul who is still learning that life can be safe and kind. Rescued from a hard life outside, she’s taking her time to open up and show her gentle personality. Though shy at first, Emma’s curiosity shines through—she wants to be part of the world around her, she’s just learning to trust that it’s okay. With patience, love, and a calm home, Emma will continue to blossom into the sweet companion she’s meant to be. She’s looking for someone who can see past her initial shyness and give her the safe landing she deserves. Could you be the one to help Emma’s story turn the page to a brighter chapter? Hint: You can meet Emma in our "Zen den" where she might pop her head out to say hello

Todays featured cat is Guster (DOB: 7/29/2023) This handsome guy is quite the conversationalist—you’ll never be bored with him around. Not only does he love to chat, but he’s also a big fan of giving hugs to anyone who will let him. Guster came to us as an injured stray with a neck wound, but thanks to lots of care, he has healed beautifully and is ready for his happily-ever-after.

Super sweet and endlessly social, Guster is the kind of cat who will follow you around just to be part of whatever you’re doing. If you’re looking for a friendly, affectionate companion who will keep you entertained and shower you with love, Guster is your guy!

In honor of Ginger Cat Appreciation Day - Meet Colleen 😺

Colleen is a gorgeous 5-year-old ginger girl with a heart full of love and a playful spirit. She adores meeting new people and will happily greet visitors with her friendly charm. Pick her up, and she’ll melt right into your arms. She’s always quick to snuggle and soak up affection. Colleen thrives in lively homes and would do wonderfully in a household with multiple people to love and entertain her. When she’s ready for a little “me time,” Colleen will let you know in her own assertive but calm way, like with a gentle hiss (just her polite reminder that she needs a break). If you’re looking for a social, affectionate companion who makes every day brighter, Colleen is the purrfect match. She is currently in a foster home, a meet and greet can be arranged with a pre-approved application!

Meet our September Volunteer of the Month, Asha Wood. She started volunteering with Colony Cats with her high school's internship program and she continued after she graduated. She is a lover of all animals and if you're wondering what she's holding in this photo, they are otters (two of them). She is a bit of a cat whisperer too. Just ask Sheldon our sweet old man who perches on everyone's shoulder. Although we're pretty sure Asha is his favorite! Two Paws Up to Asha. We appreciate you!
