My story

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

DOB: 5/5/2024

They still call me Quill. Black as ink, but no longer brooding in the shadows—I’ve come out of my shell and have a lot to say. In fact, I’m now the first to greet you (loudly!) when you step into the Juvie Room. You’ll hear me before you see me, usually mid-monologue about how breakfast was late or how the crinkle ball rolled under the couch again.

I may be one of the older cats in the room, but I hold my own among the chaos of youth. I’m something of a mentor around here—a literary soul in a room full of short stories. I still enjoy a good stretch in a sunbeam and the occasional existential nap, but these days I’m more social, more spirited, and far more likely to demand that elusive chin scratch rather than wait for it.

My past? Abandoned like a rough draft no one wanted to finish. But I’ve revised that chapter. Now, I’m writing a story about second chances, warm laps, and someone who appreciates a cat with depth and opinions.

So come sit with me. Let’s discuss vinyl records, the magic of moonlight, and whether the feather toy symbolizes hope—or just good cardio. Let’s write something beautiful together.

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 33,000 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.
