My story

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

DOB: 5/2024

Hooba was rescued from a life outside, and when he first arrived, he made it clear he wasn’t sure about this whole “people” thing. The world hadn’t always been kind to him, and he was scared and upset, just trying to protect himself the only way he knew how.

But with time, patience, and consistency, Hooba has already come so far. He’s learned that he is safe now. The fear that once defined his days has softened, and in its place is a quiet curiosity and a growing willingness to trust. He’s still on his journey, but every day he takes another small step toward believing that humans can be gentle, too.

Hooba is looking for a calm, understanding home with someone who will let him move at his own pace — someone who will celebrate the tiny victories and never rush him. If you have a kind heart and a little patience, you might be exactly the person who shows Hooba just how loving humans can be.

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.**

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.
