Calico kittens & cats in Powell, Ohio

April was a young mother when she came to CCC. She was found on April 1, 2025 with her newborns so was given the birthday of April 1, 2024. She raised her babies with the help of foster parents before moving to the adoption floor in June 2025. April was anxious when she first got to the adoption floor and tended to stay underneath the cat trees. Slowly over the past few months she has gradually moved up the cat trees to where she can now be found almost at eye level. She still is very hesitant around people so it will take a while for her to warm up with a family. She would do best in a quiet home with an understanding family who will give her time to adjust to the new environment. She has shown comfort with Sparky so would probably do well with other low energy cats who could be a comfort for her.

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.

DOB: 11/26/2017 Sophee is a stunning 7-year old calico beauty with a heart as colorful as her coat.  This sweet girl once had a loving home, but when her owner lost her job and had to move into shared housing, she was heartbroken to learn she couldn’t bring Sophee along.  Through no fault of her own, Sophee found herself in a shelter, confused and grieving the loss of everything she knew.  Sophee seemed to think she had done something wrong, and she became very depressed – retreating to the back of her cage, closing her eyes to the world, and refusing to eat.  Each day she appeared to shrink a little more, quietly giving up.  But Sophee’s story didn’t end there.  When she entered foster care, she was fragile and shut down – hunkered in a bathtub for comfort, drooling from stress and even losing some of her beautiful fur due to anxiety.  She still wouldn’t eat.  Yet, with patience, gentle brushing, soft words and steady love, something began to change.  On the fifth day, Sophee nibbled a little food.  Then she lifted a paw and batted a toy mouse.  It was the smallest gesture – but it was hope.  Today, Sophee is thriving.  She has blossomed back into the delightful, affectionate companion she was always meant to be.  She loves to walk between your legs as if to remind you that she’s there, sit beside you for quiet company and simply be near her people.  She adores batting around toy mice and soft balls – so be sure to keep a good supply on hand for Her Majesty!  A daily serving of wet food also wins her heart.  Sophee tolerates dogs but would truly prefer not to share her kingdom with other cats.  She would be happiest as the one and only feline - Queen of her castle, adored and cherished as she deserves.  If you’re looking for a loyal companion who has known loss but chosen love again, Sophee is ready to give her whole heart to a forever home.  All she needs now is someone who will promise she’ll never have to wonder why she was left behind again.  Could you be Sophee’s happily ever after?   **This cat is currently in a foster home and arrangements can be made for a meeting once you have applied with us. All cats are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and tested for FIV/FeLV.

My blue heart means it's going to take a special person to adopt me!My name is Paddie and I was born at a mechanics lot in Shawnee Hills, Ohio with my sibling.  We were both adopted into different homes after being in foster care.  I was in my previous home for approximately 4 years and started having litter box avoidance issues.  It was also determined that I am high anxiety cat.  I was prescribed medications to help with both issues, but it was reported that these meds weren’t successful in that home environment. I tried staying on my meds at the center and is proved to be just as hard to medicate me here. What can I say, at the end of the day, I'm a cat.  Since I have been back at the Cozy Cat Cottage, I have had good behavior.  I am very affectionate and I loves pets.  I have gotten into a couple of squabbles here at the center, but at the end of the day I just want one on one attention.  A large cat/animal family wouldn’t be the best fit for me, since I get anxious.  I will make a great companion to someone.  A quiet laid back lifestyle would suit me best.  Please come and visit me to see if I would make your house a home.

Hi, my name is Pauly! I am a very sweet and handsome boy. I was in a house with many cats and kittens. Someone tried to help us all but got in over their head. They loved us so much! That's why we are all so sweet! I would love a home that isn't so crowded. I get along well with other cats, but I'm not sure if I like dogs or not. I haven't lived with one. Can I be your new family member?
