My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

DOB: 1 0/2/2016 *Must be a SOLO cat in her furever home* Do you crave more excitement in your life or are you potentially looking for a guard cat? Chakita may be the girl for you. This fancy, fluffy feline comes jam packed with a diva purr-sonality that matches her long luscious coat so every day with her is always a fun surprise. She is kind of like a Sour Patch Kid: sweet and loving pets from the people she likes while still being tough enough to ward off an intruder or annoying visitor you don't want in your home. She likes who she likes and doesn't apologize for not liking some people. Not sure if you like cats? That's ok; she is also not sure she likes cats and would love to be the empress of your kingdom. This adorable girl came from a difficult situation and is recovering from her past hard life. She's hoping for a patient adopter who will respect and appreciate her needs and quirks. **This cat is currently in a foster home and arrangements can be made for a meeting once you have applied with us. All cats are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and tested for FIV/FeLV. If interested in adopting me, please fill out an online adoption application at https://colonycats.org/adoption_app.html to expedite the process. Due to the large number of inquiries received, we are unable to respond to emails quickly.**

Go meet their pets

The Colony Cats Adoption Center is a completely different experience in 'sheltering' homeless companion cats. While most of our felines still live in foster homes, we now can bring them out into the public with our cage free adoption center. Cats can do what comes naturally- jump, run, climb, and play; but only until they find their way into your heart and home.

We have pledged not only to make this a completely different experience for the cats, but also for the public.
While we strive to make the adoption center as beautiful as possible, the cats within our care remain our top priority. Our firm belief as an organization is that every homeless cat deserves a chance because every cat matters. We hope that you'll come by and share with us our vision.

More about this rescue

Colony Cats is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose primary mission is to address cat overpopulation in central Ohio through public awareness and spay/neuter efforts. Since 2002, our organization has facilitated spay or neuter of over 6,324 animals.

Specialized help for feral, stray and abandoned cats is a core element of our programs. We assist compassionate caregivers who are feeding and watching over homeless cats by providing TNR (trap-neuter-return) and other support services including food, shelter, vaccines and additional vet care for injuries/illness, as well as educational resources.
We also have a network of foster homes for friendly, adoptable cats and kittens - as well as dogs and puppies that we encounter while assisting cats - that have been rescued.
