Cuddlebug Alert!
Ginger is approx. 2 years old, a petite girlie with an attitude! She was given away as a free kitten in Philly, to someone who just recently surrendered her to us. Before this she lived as an only cat, and so she is often jealous of other kitties. She would much prefer to be an only cat again, but has learned to tolerate other cats while in her foster home.
Ginger adores attention and cuddles. She loves LAPS, and shoulders, and nuzzles into your neck, purring loudly.
Please note, Ginger does need time to acclimate to a new environment, she can be moody and short-tempered when stressed and needs a patient and understanding family who can give her time and patience while she is learning the new sights and sounds of a new home.
Can you love this little girlie?
Please visit our sweet kitties at the Fruitville Pike Petsmart on Sundays from 12-3pm or Saturdays from 1-3pm.

Rescue Group Info...
We seek to rescue the abandoned, the unwanted, the unloved - the cats that need us.
- To care for and provide a loving, cage free home for cats awaiting adoption.
- To reduce euthanasia in overcrowded shelters by taking in cats that need more TLC.
- To educate the public about proper and responsible care of domestic companion animals.
Kitty Colony was founded in Lancaster County, PA.
A cat lover since childhood, I was heartbroken at the lack of care given to the barn cats on the farm where I was residing. I coudn't understand the philosophy of many of the farmers - "You don't feed Mousers" How can a cat chase mice if weak and emaciated from lack of proper nutrition or water? A healthy cat chases mice for sport - and will catch more than its unfed counterparts.
We started putting out food and water for the few cats that wandered through and were soon pulled into rescue work as the cats began to colonize and multiply on the property. The first few litters of kittens we cared for ourselves - We were able to tame and adopt out several and family pitched in to help foster the kittens when we couldn't.
As the colony continued to grow, we enlisted the help of PAWS Volunteers to help with the trapping and spaying/neutering of the cats, and several members assisted in fostering and socializing the kittens. Several of our socialized cats and kittens were adopted through a PAWS Petsmart Adoption center, others were incorporated into the Catworks Inc. or adopted out privately by PAWS volunteers. I nicknamed my little family of cats "Kitty Colony" and put together a personal Kodak webpage to share my pictures with friends and to help advertise and adopt the socialized cats and kittens there on the farm and fostered by my family.
When we moved from Lancaster County - I couldn't leave my "Barn Babies" - the cats that had been born, and had grown up in the barn - So I took them with me. These cats are still semi feral, or very feral (wild!) and most of them will probably remain so for the rest of thier lives. In that case, I will care for them and love them as much as they will allow me to - but they are now indoor-only and are living the good life - fat and lazy and happy!
Here in Jenkintown "Kitty Colony" has become a local rescue group complete with our own adoption program and TNR assistance for those who need it.
I also began volunteering and fostering this year for Cats With No Name - a mobile low cost spay/neuter program - and we hope to launch a Cats with No Name adoption program in the near future.
So now along with my "Barn Babies" are now many fosters, orphaned kittens, rescued strays, ferals and adoptables- Living in harmony with each other while waiting for thier forever families to find them.
