Hello bonded sisters, ♠️♣️!

Clubs and Spade are 9 months old and a bit shy. Spade has the black nose while Clubs has more white on her face. They are young and should really open up with lots of love and encouragement. When you meet them at the adoption center, give them a moment to warm up to you as they are still nervous.
These adoring sisters are bonded and must be adopted together. During the Empty the Shelters event, their adoption fee is reduced to $100 for both, with an approved application.

Seeking an adopter (or foster) for Sass!

Sass (F, 3.5 yrs, 16lbs) has an unfortunate story. She was taken to the vet by her family and once told she had bladder stones, her family didn't want her. Colony Cats saved Sass and with a diet of prescription CD food, she is in good health with the bladder stones dissolved. Love heals (and prescription food!)! Sass will need a prescription food the rest of her life to keep her healthy, but isn't she worth it? We seek a loving adopter for Sass, or maybe even a foster home who will keep her on her diet (sponsored through Colony Cats). Sass has been with other cats, children and tolerates dogs. She is goofy and affectionate! Ask to meet her at the adoption center!
During the Empty the Shelters event, Sass' adoption fee is reduced to $50.

To adopt Sass, please fill out an online adoption application at https://colonycats.org/adoption_app.html.

After 2 years of waiting, Capri is one of our longest residents. Poor Capri came to Colony Cats in 2017 as a kitten. She was adopted and returned a few years later when her owners said she was aggressive towards children. She was very upset and scared and had a hard time transitioning back to being in the shelter. Since then, she has taken up residence in our intake area with some of the other special needs cats. Her main special need is that she would prefer a home without dogs, children or other cats. We understand this means finding a home will be more challenging for her, but after 2 years of waiting we're really hoping it could be Capri's turn to find her forever family. She is well known to the volunteers as a sweet, funny lady. A lover of pets and curling up in a sunbeam, she is very curious, and intelligent. She would make a great companion for a quiet home where she could stretch out and take it easy. As an 8 year old lady she's reaching her mid-life and the first half hasn't been easy on her. We'd love to see her enter into her golden years with a caring family that wants to give her a chance at her own happy ending.
During the Empty the Shelters event, Capri's adoption fees is reduced to $30.

To meet or adopt Capri, please fill out an online adoption application at https://colonycats.org/adoption_app.html.

Gordito (M, 2 yrs) would like to be on your wish list to adopt! He is a sweet and gentle boy seeking a loving home. He’s a bit rough around the edges from a life on the streets, but external looks are one thing, the heart is another! He has been in a crate for 2 months waiting to be noticed. Give this boy a chance and you won’t be sorry! Gordito is FeLV+ and can live with other FeLV+ cats and dogs. His adoption fee is a donation of your choice. Ask to meet him at the adoption center!

To meet or adopt Gordito or any cat in our care, please fill out an online adoption application at https://colonycats.org/adoption_app.html.

Toast (F, born March) - white with tabby markings, a very sweet, quiet girl. She is an adorable tabby and white bobtail. We haven’t heard her even make a “mew”! She loves to play, but most of all she loves a good lap to cuddle in. (in foster)
