My story

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

DOB: 12/18/2013

"Ah, you scared me!" I startle, my fluffy black coat fluffing up at the sudden intrusion. My name? Slinky Dink. It's got a certain ring to it, doesn't it? Though I'm not quite sure where it came from, it feels right, like a snug blanket on a chilly night.

You see, I'm not like your average cat. I've had my fair share of adventures, wandering the streets and alleyways, weaving through the shadows with grace and stealth. But now, at ten years old, I find myself in unfamiliar territory, rescued from the uncertainty of the great outdoors.

I may be a senior in years, but my spirit is as lively as ever, despite the fear that grips me at times. It's hard to trust when you've spent so long fending for yourself in the cold embrace of solitude. Yet, deep down, I long for companionship, for a gentle hand to guide me through the darkness.

I may need time to adjust, to unravel the mysteries of this new chapter in my life. But with patience and understanding, I believe I can learn to trust again, to let my guard down and embrace the warmth of human kindness. After all, even the most timid souls crave love and acceptance.

So, if you're willing to take a chance on a scaredy-cat like me, I promise to repay your kindness with endless purrs and affection. Together, we can embark on a journey of healing and discovery, one paw step at a time. And who knows? Maybe with your help, I'll find the courage to emerge from the shadows and bask in the light of a loving home.

 

Come meet me at the cage-free Adoption Center! 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.**

Adoption application

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.
