My story

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

DOB:10/16/2021

Introducing Aretha, the Queen of Soul in feline form! Born to be a natural woman on the streets, this black beauty was rescued as a friendly stray with a heart full of love and a voice that'll make your heart sing. Aretha, she's a cat of respect, bringing sweetness and soul to every corner of your home. "R-E-S-P-E-C-T," that's what she'll show you, as she purrs her way into your heart with the kind of love only she can deliver. With a fur coat as dark as midnight, Aretha is the epitome of soulful elegance. She'll make you feel like you're walking on sunshine every time she curls up on your lap and belts out a symphony of contentment. Aretha believes in creating a "Freeway of Love" where she can cruise through life with her forever family. So, if you're looking for a feline companion who'll bring a little "Respect" and a whole lot of joy into your life, adopt Aretha and let the soulful serenade begin!

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.
