There are 2 cats, one boy Oli, one girl Artemis, same litter and about 5 years old. Loving and house trained they have never been outside. We are unable to keep them as I am newly single and work 60 plus hours a week. My daughter is allergic but without the other person here to keep a very clean space for my daughter we are unable to keep but do not want to put in a shelter for fear they will be killed. I want them to be adopted together.

Story
Meet Theon, an energetic and playful cat. About seven years old, Theon has seen and adapted to many new housing environments over the years. His likes include toys, climbing and playing with other cats. Ideally he should be with an owner that can also take in his sister, Yara, and who can give him plenty of playtime to let out his energy for the day.

Story
Tuni was born on 06/18/24 and found on the Ohio State fairgrounds at 1 month old, and since then has been lovingly doted on and cared for by my fiancé and I. He is an anxious boy, but with patience and tenderness he becomes the sweetest most loving cuddle bug. In true Siamese fashion, he is pretty vocal, you’ll hear him welcome you “he’ll-ooo!!”. He would love to find a quiet, patient home that will help him gain confidence in his new space, and soon you’ll be playing like the best of friends! Unfortunately, we have another cat with health issues that after a move, Tuni has begun to redirect aggression towards. We have a lot more noise and people going by that we can’t control, and Tuni redirects his fear towards her. A calming environment that knows to be patient with him would be perfect, preferably with no children or other pets as that seems to be a huge trigger for him. If you’re willing to build and nurture a relationship you’ve just found your new best friend!

Meet Yara, a quiet and shy, but loving cat once she gets to know you. About seven years old, she has seen a variety of housing environments and adapted with success. She has a very laid back personality, and enjoys laying down and being pet, she also enjoys a scratching post. Ideally, a prospective owner should also be able to take in her brother, Theon.

Story
FELV+DOB: 9/25/2023 Mr. Peabody’s story started on the streets. Found as a young stray in rough shape, he was brought to us in July 2024 and has since made a full recovery. Today, this handsome orange tabby is healthy, playful, and—no exaggeration—one of the sweetest cats we’ve ever met. From the moment you meet him, Mr. Peabody will trot right up for pets, head bumps, and purrs. He loves everyone—strangers, visitors, staff—and his affectionate, easygoing nature makes him the kind of cat who instantly wins hearts. During his veterinary care, we discovered that Mr. Peabody is FeLV-positive (Feline Leukemia Virus). FeLV is a viral infection that affects the immune system, making it harder for a cat’s body to fight off infections. While it’s not curable, it is manageable with good veterinary care, a healthy diet, and a stress-free indoor lifestyle. Cats with FeLV need routine wellness checks, prompt treatment for any illness, and regular preventative care like vaccines and parasite control. FeLV is spread between cats through close contact (like grooming or sharing food bowls), so Mr. Peabody must either be an only cat or live with other FeLV-positive companions. It’s important to know that FeLV affects cats differently—some live only a few years, while others remain healthy for much longer. Right now, Mr. Peabody is in excellent health, full of playful kitten energy, and showing no signs of illness. What he needs most is a loving home where he can enjoy life to the fullest, surrounded by people who adore him as much as he’ll adore them. To learn more about this condition visit:  https://resources.bestfriends.org/article/feline-leukemia-felv-faqs **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. 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.** August 5, 2025, 9:21 pm
