Calico kittens & cats in Powell, Ohio

Story Pending

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.

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.

My name is Sugar, and I came into this world outside with my sister, Spice. It was cold and rainy the day our mama left us on someone’s porch. We waited and waited for her to come back… but she never did.The kind person who found us kept us safe and dry while they watched for her return. When it became clear she wasn’t coming, we were taken in and given a second chance.From the very beginning, I’ve been a shy girl. The world felt big and a little scary. I spent 12 weeks in a loving foster home with lots of other kittens to play with. My foster mom held me every single day and showed me what gentle hands and kind voices feel like. Even so, I’ve always carried a bit of that early fear with me.But here’s what I know about myself: I want to be brave.I’m going to need a special human — someone patient, someone soft-spoken, someone who understands that trust takes time. I may not run into your arms on day one, but if you give me space, sit with me, talk to me, and spend lots of time playing with me, I truly believe I will blossom.Underneath my shy shell is a sweet girl who just needs to feel safe. I believe that with love and time, I’ll grow into the confident companion I’m meant to be.Will you be the one who helps me find my courage? 💕
