Calico kittens & cats in Delaware, Ohio

Hi, my name is Penelope! I am a shy kitty that often gets over looked on the adoption floor because I do not like chaos. I can be social when in a quiet environment after given some time to warm up. I would do best in a home without young children because a lot of noise scares me. I do enjoy the company of other cats and I hope to find a family with a quiet home. Could that be your home?

They do take special care in terms of monitoring them for signs of infection.  FIV can be passed from cat to cat via deep bite wounds, but not from casual contact so positive cats can live with negative cats without the fear of spreading FIV as long as they get along and are spayed/neutered.

DOB: 6/10/2024  Maple Syrup is as rich and golden in spirit as her name suggests. This beautiful calico has been through a lot — she arrived at the shelter with a large abdominal wound — but with gentle care and time, she’s healed and is now ready to pour her sweetness into a forever home. Like real maple syrup, she doesn’t rush. Maple Syrup is a bit shy, preferring slow approaches and soft voices, but for those patient enough to earn her trust, she offers a quiet, comforting kind of love that sticks with you long after the moment has passed. She’s looking for someone who understands that the best things in life take time — a calm home, kind hands, and a heart ready to let her sweetness flow. If you’re willing to move at her pace, Maple Syrup just might be the sweetest thing to ever come into your life.  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.

Meet Fiona: a fantastic furry friend who is waiting for her new forever home! She's looking forward to curling up with her new family this winter. She's very affectionate and eager to get attention. Fiona is outgoing and confident, even in a new environment. She's very friendly and easily approaches people to seek pets. She's sadly not so friendly toward other feline pals, so she would prefer to be the only cat in the home! That way she can rule the roost and be truly pampered and spoiled. She doesn't like to fight for attention! Fiona wants to be her new family's number one. Come by the Humane Society to meet fabulous Fiona!

Meet the big and beautiful Holt! After originally being rescued from a hoarding situation and then getting adopted from us back in 2020, Holt's owner unfortunately passed away, and she ended up back at the shelter four years later in 2024. After spending 6 long months here, Holt had a second chance at a forever home and was readopted in December of 2024. Unfortunately, just over a year after she made it to her new home, her new owner ended up in an assisted living facility and devastatingly had to leave Holt behind. So that's how Holt ended up at the shelter again. We are sure that she'll be able to open up her heart to another family one more time so she can live out the rest of her golden years. She definitely deserves it! Holt is a couch potato. She spends most of her days sleeping, curled up in a nice and cushiony cat bed. She would enjoy having one or two to sleep on in her new home...But we think that YOUR bed would soon become her favorite! Her previous owner's family expressed that all she loved to do everyday was lay next to and sleep with her favorite person. She prefers head and ear scratches rather than back scratches. Even though Holt is a bit lazy... We have seen her playing with a ball track toy that spins, as well as a fun dangling wand toy. She still has some youthful energy left in her yet! Another thing that Holt loves: FOOD! She gets excited and starts meowing for her tasty food and lickable treat snacks. Holt likes her solidarity away from other cats as well as dogs. We think the best type of home for her would be one where she is the only pet. Come by the Humane Society to meet sweet old lady Holt!
