My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

GENTLE, SILLY GIRL NEEDS A FAIRLY CALM HOME WITH LOTS OF LOVE, GENTLE PETTING AND PATIENT ENCOURAGEMENT TO BUILD CONFIDENCE. VERY SWEET, BUT SKITTISH. OLDER KIDS OKAY, NO TODDLERS. GOOD WITH OTHER SWEET CATS AROUND. I only know how to be a sweet, darling little girl. I'm very easy to love, so please come find me and give me some sweet talk and maybe some gentle pets! I prefer that you pet my back first, then I'll let you pet my head. Once you're in the room for a few minutes with me, I'll start to get comfortable and come over to visit. I'll come right out to see you, especially after I hear my name. I will rub against you and possibly even crawl in your lap! You'll see me start being very cute and silly as I'm so excited to get attention! I'm very skittish, but also affectionate and trying very hard to be brave, just in small doses. I hide under my blanket a lot to feel safe. It takes me a little while to get used to my new home. You'll see me start to come out a little more here and there as I explore, and try to find you! I've been loved, but not held very often, so after I'm settled, let's try that a little every day so I learn to trust you holding me. In time, I DO let you hold me! I like to find places to play hide and seek. Call me and I'll call back or peek out, and I'm always so happy when you find me! I may feel more safe if you set me up with covered bed or a blanket in a box (turned sideways) in a quiet corner in the main room, so I'm off to myself, but also with you. This can help me slowly get accustomed to everything. Try petting me often so I know you love me! I'm such a sweetie that I will LOVE it and you a little more every time! I enjoy gently playing with our wand toys! Once in a while I'll chase around a jingle ball, or play with an electronic toy that moves under a sheet. Play really helps build confidence, and after all, a silly young kitty like me should be having fun! I'm probably too nervous for most dogs, but I'm used to friendly, easy-going cats! After a few days, and a few "please be nice to me" hisses, they'll be my new friends. I will enjoy having covered beds, soft blankets on the furniture, and a cat tree with a cubbie box in the middle to lay in. I'm only a little picky about food, I prefer pate. With your help, I will someday blossom into the sweetest kitty you ever saw, that even plays for you sometimes!

More about this shelter

The Colony Animal Services strives to protect andTCAS LOGO-UPDATED nurture The City of The Colony’s lost, homeless, abused, injured, and sick pets. We seek to provide animals the opportunity to be reclaimed, adopted, rehabilitated, or rescued. It is the mission for the Animal Service Officers and volunteers to pursue a positive synergy and to serve the citizens and pets of The Colony.

Animal Services is committed to saving each and every animal that comes into our care. Over the last few years, we have improved our live release rate to 97%. We hold our standards high at keeping this percentage, and in doing so, we ask our rescue partners and citizens to help us pursue finding our animals forever homes.

Every year, we get over a hundred injured and sick animals that need our help. In order for us to help them, we use our donated medical fund to give them the proper care and treatment they need. The only way for us to provide this needed medical care is through our generous financial donors. Every penny donated is sent to our medical fund. Please help us continue this much needed medical care for our animals by donating. Even if you cannot donate, it is a huge help to share posts on social media.
