The adoption center might be closed today but you can celebrate Independence Day by applying to adopt a cool new companion—meet Sorbet (6/25/2021)!
This refreshing feline is as chill as her name suggests and would love nothing more than to escape the heat wave stretched out on your couch beside you. Sweet, soothing, and oh-so-cool, Sorbet is the perfect way to stay cool this summer—no popsicle required.

Consider giving a chance to our shy little Tulip!(DOB: 7/20/2024). This girl is as delicate and lovely as the flower she’s named after. This shy tabby girl is currently blooming in our Juvie Room, quietly watching the world go by as she waits for the right person to help her blossom. Like the first flowers of spring, Tulip just needs a little sunshine, patience, and warmth to come out of her shell. She’s sweet at heart, but still a bit unsure of herself—looking for a calm, gentle home where she can grow at her own pace. If you have a soft spot for the shy ones and a heart ready to nurture, Tulip might be your perfect springtime companion.

OMG, we have all the cats ready for homes and BISSELL Pet Foundation is helping you adopt one (or 2 or 3…) by reducing the adoption fees for cats 7 months and older to $65 while we participate in ! Put in an application before the event for approval to take home your new best friend!

📢 It’s back! BISSELL Pet Foundation’s Empty the Shelters®—the nation’s largest funded adoption event—returns this summer, July 5–19, 2025! 🐾

Summer is one of the most challenging times for shelters. With rising intakes, staff shortages, and overcrowding, pets urgently need homes—and you can help. 💙

In partnership with 300+ shelters across 40 states, BISSELL Pet Foundation is sponsoring adoption fees of $70 or less to help more families bring home fully vetted pets.

Since 2016, over 324,000 pets have found love through Empty the Shelters. Will you help us save even more this summer?

DOB: 4/23/2021 "That’s not an opossum, it’s a cat!" We get that a lot—because Opossum, our shy little lady, has a bit of a startled, wide-eyed look and a tendency to freeze when she’s unsure. That’s probably because she was left behind at an apartment complex, fending for herself and unsure who to trust. Opossum is nervous in new places and still figuring out that she’s safe now. She’s quiet, gentle, and trying her best to be brave. Behind those big, cautious eyes is a heart that truly wants to trust again—she just needs a calm, loving home where she can come out of hiding at her own pace. If you’re the kind of person who sees beauty in the quiet ones and knows how to speak the language of patience and kindness, Opossum might be your perfect match. She’s not a marsupial, but she is 100% deserving of love. Come meet her at the cage-free Adoption Center or apply to adopt her here: https://colonycats.org/adoption_app.html

Today we have a very special request from Wigglypuff and Jigglypuff to our amazing followers: They'd like help finding a forever home!

These two special needs, bonded boys located in Dublin, OH are still seeking a forever home. Jigglypuff and Wigglypuff have been available for adoption for almost a year and haven’t received a single application! 😿

We have a kind sponsor wanting to help increase their exposure, so for every share of this post through July 5, the sponsor will donate $1, up to $250 to Colony Cats' mission! Be sure to share the original post from our page for it to count!

Jigglypuff and Wigglypuff are bonded brothers that have severe Cerebellar Hypoplasia (wobble kitties). Because of their severity, they cannot stand or walk. What they lack in motion, they make up for with love! These two are usually snuggled together and could lay in your lap all day. They also enjoy being outside soaking up the sun. Please share this post so we can find them the purrfect home they deserve! We know their people are out there waiting to be found...

Meet Laci, our July Volunteer of the Month. Some find it hard to believe that a person can volunteer at an animal shelter and not have any pets of their own. You'd want to take them all home. Laci is proof that it is possible and encourages others to do the same. Whether you have a few hours a week or a month, the cats in our care would benefit from your TLC. Many thanks to Laci for carving out time from her busy life to volunteer at Colony Cats. We appreciate you!

Today we give a huge shout out to another local Columbus business giving back to the community, Watershed Distillery! 🥃😍
They donated back to Colony Cats their portion of the Charity Cocktails for which they partnered with Seventh Son. Thank you so much for your support and donation of $3,076 to help us continue saving homeless pets in central Ohio. We really couldn't do anything we do without the generous support of our community! Four paws up! Check out Watershed this weekend and try something new! But always remember, your pets are waiting for you to get home safely. 🫶
