My story

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

SILO AND BROTHER ROCKY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TOGETHER. THEY WILL BE ADOPTED AS A DELIGHTFUL PAIR.

SWEET BOY IS FRIENDLY AND A LITTLE SILLY, BUT TAKES A DAY OR SO OF HIDING AND LOOKING AROUND TO SETTLE IN, WITH ROCKY STAYING CLOSE BY TO HELP. PREFERS A FAIRLY CALM HOME AND TRUSTS GENTLE PEOPLE. USED TO OLDER KIDS. CONCERNED ABOUT NEW NICE CATS, BUT SEEMS WILLING TO ACCEPT WITH SOME SUPERVISED VISITS FIRST.

I`m adorably sweet and lovable, but not as confident as my brother. We`ve been through some big changes recently, and each time I manage to take it in and adjust, but I`m still a little confused. In another new place, I will need a chance to process everything this one last time. You might not see me much at first, but you might hear me hiss for no apparent reason from where I`m hiding, or as I`m looking around. I`m okay, it`s just my attempt to be brave and releasing some nervous energy. I`m ready to trust you, so I`ll appreciate some sweet talk and a few treats for comfort. It will be okay to pet me a little at a time as I get settled. I`ll start coming to you for a little more attention every time I`m out. Once I`m back in my happy place, you will get lots of love and see me all the time! One day you`ll be sitting, and find me crawling up to lay across your shoulders, showing you that you`re my person now, and this is what we do! As I explore, I will be finding places to hang out high, and low. I love finding soft rugs or beds on the floor, soft blankets on furniture, a cat tree with a sleep box in the middle, maybe even a shelf or cabinet where I can perch. I like being able to move to a new spot for every nap! I watch the electronic toys, but I haven`t played yet. I`ve just learned that I love playing with wand toys with you! I will get silly with a catnip toy or kicker. Sometimes it feels good just to roll back and forth being cute! You can look forward to the day that I feel like this is home!

More about this shelter

The Colony Animal Services strives to protect andTCAS LOGO-UPDATED nurture The City of The Colony’s lost, homeless, abused, injured, and sick pets. We seek to provide animals the opportunity to be reclaimed, adopted, rehabilitated, or rescued. It is the mission for the Animal Service Officers and volunteers to pursue a positive synergy and to serve the citizens and pets of The Colony.

Animal Services is committed to saving each and every animal that comes into our care. Over the last few years, we have improved our live release rate to 97%. We hold our standards high at keeping this percentage, and in doing so, we ask our rescue partners and citizens to help us pursue finding our animals forever homes.

Every year, we get over a hundred injured and sick animals that need our help. In order for us to help them, we use our donated medical fund to give them the proper care and treatment they need. The only way for us to provide this needed medical care is through our generous financial donors. Every penny donated is sent to our medical fund. Please help us continue this much needed medical care for our animals by donating. Even if you cannot donate, it is a huge help to share posts on social media.
