Story
DOB: 1/8/2023 Timber is a 3 year old gentle giant who has come a long way and continues to grow more confident every day. As he’s settled in, he’s started showing more of his sweet personality and enjoys simply lounging around and sharing space with his people. Timber prefers a calm, zen environment and would do best with someone patient who will give him the time and space he needs to feel comfortable. Once he feels safe, this sweet boy is happy just existing by your side and being part of your quiet routine.    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. Due to the large number of inquiries received, we are unable to respond to emails quickly.**March 13, 2026, 12:17 am

Story
Description: Say hello to Licorice! Licorice is a sassy, friendly and talkative adult cat who is ready for pets! He will meow back to you when you ask him questions and he LOVES a laser. he is always curious and loves to rest on high places. He often "demands" pets by softly knocking you with his paw. He is also incredibly smart; he always looks behind the computer when his chipmunk show is on; he has to find out where the video is coming from! He is not very food motivated - he would rather hang out with you! But he always makes sure to get all his meals in for the day. Because he is used to being around just a few adults, we don't know how he is around kids but we imagine he won't have a problem if they're older. Also, because he's used to humans, he doesn't really get along with other animals and pets. He would do best as star of the show! Adoption is $175 which includes his spay/neuter, age-appropriate vaccines, microchip and current monthly prevention. To fill out an application for this animal or a general application click HERE.All animals are up to date on age appropriate shots, microchipped and fixed. To meet one of our animals we require an approved application. You can fill one out at https://tobyscrittercoverescue.org/adoptionapp/ March 12, 2026, 11:59 pm
