My story

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

DOB: 4/30/2024

Elphaba’s Story: “I’m Not That Cat”

“Hands touch, eyes meet…”

But they always move past me. I see the others get the attention—the bold, the outgoing, the ones who leap into arms and purr like they’ve already won your heart. I’m not that cat. I’m the one who watches from the corner, hoping someone will see me for who I truly am.

I might not be the first to run to you, but if you take a moment to notice me, you’ll find I have so much love to give. I may be shy, but I dream of a quiet home where I can be myself—a safe space where trust grows and love blooms.

My name is Elphaba, and I know what it feels like to be overlooked. But like the song says, “every so often, we long to steal to the land of what might have been.” Maybe this time, it’s my turn to find my happy ending.

If you have room in your heart for a sweet, quiet soul who’s just waiting for someone to believe in her, I promise I’ll show you a love as magical as Oz itself. Could you be the one to make me feel like that cat?

Come meet me at the cage-free Adoption Center! 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.
