My story

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

DOB: 3/28/2025

Benji is a sweet, shy girl who has recently been rescued from a life spent outside. The world hasn’t always been kind to her, so she may take a little time to warm up to new people and surroundings.

Despite her cautious nature, Benji has a gentle heart and appreciates quiet companionship, soft words, and slow introductions. With patience and kindness, she begins to show her sweet, affectionate side, quietly enjoying the comfort of a safe, indoor home.

Benji is looking for a calm, understanding family who will give him the time she needs to feel secure and loved. If you’re ready to offer a gentle hand and a patient heart, Benji will reward you with quiet devotion and companionship. 

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.
