My story

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

DOB: 10/17/2010

  • Meet Nicolette, a resilient and sweet tabby senior searching for a peaceful forever home where she can truly shine in her golden years. Her story began on the streets, where she was trying to survive until a kind person brought her to Colony Cats and Dogs. At 14 years old, Nicolette amazed us all with her youthful spirit and her determination to enjoy life.

  • Nicolette has settled well in her foster home, and her foster describes her as an “easy keeper.” She isn’t picky about food or litter, and she has no obvious health issues. Her shiny, soft coat and playful nature make it hard to believe she’s a senior cat. She loves string toys, catnip, and zooming through tunnels—she even gets the zoomies every night! She’s incredibly engaging, following her foster around the house, supervising cooking sessions from the kitchen counter, and eagerly greeting them at the door after work.

  • While Nicolette is affectionate in her own way—she’ll happily curl up in your lap for hours—she’s also independent and sassy. She loves pets and scratches but isn’t shy about politely letting you know when she’s had enough. Her chatty personality is endearing, even if her vocal moments can be a bit... persistent. She also has a small, adorable deformity on her front paw that only adds to her unique charm.

  • Nicolette is looking for a calm, loving home where she can be the queen of the castle or live with other easygoing cats. She has so much love to give and so many playful, joyful moments left to share. Will you be the one to give Nicolette the peaceful, forever home she deserves?

**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.**

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.
