Did Someone Say Kittens? 😺

We have them!

We have them in foster homes and in cat lounges. We have them in shades of brown, orange, black, tuxedo, gray, tabby... You name it, we probably have it.

What we have is kittens... what they don't have is their forever homes!

To view our adoptables, go to conquerthecolony.com. To meet some of our adoptable fosters in person, schedule time at the cat lounge today!

Not looking for a kitten? We have plenty of adults in many age ranges, shapes, sizes, males, females, and personalities. Younger adults, seniors, cats that have FeLV, cats that only like other cats... You name it, I bet we can accommodate that for you! (Bonus: if we don't have what you're looking for, we know another rescue that will!)

Meet Spider!

Say hello to Spider! This handsome, petite boy is looking for a loving home where he can finally feel safe, cherished, and adored. With his sleek black fur and tiny patch of white on his chest, he’s a little guy with a big heart just waiting to shine.

Spider came from a situation where he didn’t get much human interaction. Because of that, he may need a little time to feel comfortable and learn that people can be pretty wonderful. But once you earn his trust, you’ll discover a whole new side of him!

When Spider warms up to you, he wants to be wherever you are. He loves attention, enjoys being petted, can be won over with tasty treats, and has a playful side that will keep you smiling. And the best part? Once he feels safe and loved, he turns into a purring machine! ❤️

Spider doesn’t need you to be perfect or to have all the answers. He just needs someone patient enough to let him blossom at his own pace. In return, you’ll have the chance to watch a once-shy boy discover the joy of companionship and become your little shadow.

Could you be the special person who gives this sweet boy the happy ending he deserves? Give him a little time, a little love, and a safe place to call home. He has so much love waiting to share.

Spider is just under two years old, male, neutered, vaccinated, tested for FIV/FeLV(neg/neg), microchipped, flea-treated, and dewormed.

Our girl Banshee needs support, so we have created two spooky fundraisers! 🎃

🧙🏻‍♀️COSTUMES AND CAULDRONS 🧙🏻‍♀️

The first benefit was created by her OG foster mama, Sara.

Sara created one of a kind cauldrons filled with crystals.

Each cauldron contains approximately 40 crystals. 🔮

They’re individually wrapped and available for shipping or free local pickup.

Supplies are limited so act fast! 👻

The cauldrons are $20/ea and can be purchased at conquerthecolony.bigcartel.com (link in bio)

Our second fundraiser will be a pet costume contest - stay tuned for details on that!
