My story

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

DOB: 12/13/2021 

French Hen is a sweet, gentle soul with a quiet heart and hopeful eyes. He came to us in a heartbreaking way—left outside the shelter in a single cage with eight other cats. Despite it all, he has remained incredibly kind and loving.

He enjoys soft pets, gentle brushing sessions, and calm company. Though a bit reserved at first, French Hen blossoms with patience and kindness. His low-key personality means he often gets overlooked, but those who take the time to get to know him quickly see how special he is.

French Hen spent some time in our Zen Den, where he was a quiet favorite among volunteers. Now, he’s waiting for his chance at a real home—one filled with warmth, love, and a family who will accept him just as he is.

If you’re a gentle soul with a little extra room in your heart, French Hen would love to meet you.

Come meet me at the cage free Adoption Center! All cats are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and tested for FIV/FeLV. If you are 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.
