My story

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

BONDED TO LUKE. Leia came to us as a very scared hissy kitten. She has made huge progress with her foster family seeming to almost prefer humans to cats, but still enjoying cuddling with her foster siblings and her brother Luke.

She especially loves sitting on laps and cuddling in bed with her foster humans. She is very curious and obsessed with all toys.She is pretty quiet unless she is playing. She uses the litter box well and enjoys treats and meal time. She can be a bit of a daredevil, jumping to high surfaces and exploring every square inch of her foster home.

Leia is a beautiful cat with an adorable Marilyn Monroe beauty mark on her face.

Although Leia seems to love her foster humans, she would make a wonderful companion to a cat as she plays well with other cats and she really helps her scared brother, Luke, come out of his shell. When her foster humans had several guests over for the holidays, Leia did not hide and actually slept in a little cat bed the whole time in the same room as the guests. Leia is ready to settle in with her new family.

If interested in adopting me, please fill out an online adoption application at https://colonycats.org/adoption_app.html to expedite the process.

Go meet their pets

The Colony Cats Adoption Center is a completely different experience in 'sheltering' homeless companion cats. While most of our felines still live in foster homes, we now can bring them out into the public with our cage free adoption center. Cats can do what comes naturally- jump, run, climb, and play; but only until they find their way into your heart and home.

We have pledged not only to make this a completely different experience for the cats, but also for the public.
While we strive to make the adoption center as beautiful as possible, the cats within our care remain our top priority. Our firm belief as an organization is that every homeless cat deserves a chance because every cat matters. We hope that you'll come by and share with us our vision.

More about this rescue

Colony Cats is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose primary mission is to address cat overpopulation in central Ohio through public awareness and spay/neuter efforts. Since 2002, our organization has facilitated spay or neuter of over 6,324 animals.

Specialized help for feral, stray and abandoned cats is a core element of our programs. We assist compassionate caregivers who are feeding and watching over homeless cats by providing TNR (trap-neuter-return) and other support services including food, shelter, vaccines and additional vet care for injuries/illness, as well as educational resources.
We also have a network of foster homes for friendly, adoptable cats and kittens - as well as dogs and puppies that we encounter while assisting cats - that have been rescued.
