Colony Cats (& Dogs)

I called colony to help with a very sad situation that only became more sad thanks to Colony a stray practically a baby kept getting bread even though she was still a baby herself I called Colony they offered no help at all I was basically told if I don't like her situation take her in and fix it myself which I am unable to do or I would have they're only concern is getting donations and they do not do anything to help Strays in any community when they said oh we don't have enough volunteers I volunteered to do all of the transporting and any of the things that they would need a volunteer for in this situation they still refused to help in any way on another occasion I found a litter of three abandoned kittens took them to Colony and they said get them out of here we're not taking them we don't care what you do with them , that speaks volumes about them so please know if you donate to these people they are not using it for the cats and regardless of how much you offer to help they still refuse they make appearances to solicit donations that they do not use properly or they would not turn everyone away with a who cares attitude

After my mother passed away in 2014, I was looking for some way to help out. I love cats but can't have them at my home due to allergies. I signed up to volunteer in the Adoption Center that summer and couldn't believe the amount of work these people do. They are always in need of help to clean, feed and love on the cats. I have so much respect for these people who do this day in and day out! It truely warmed my heart to help them out! J. Humphrey

I have volunteered here for over a year. The volunteers are so friendly and responsible. As has been mentioned before there are no paid staff. Every job here is important from cleaning the facility, trapping strays, medically caring for the animals, fostering or volunteering for events. There is ample time for just loving the animals. While working here you come to know each one. That's how my little guy adopted me. Funny how that works!

Love volunteering and fostering for Colony Cats! Everyone I've met is so kind and really cares about helping each cat find their perfect home.

This incredible shelter has introduced me to my three wonderful kitties, countless friends, and experiences that I cherish. It's such a positive environment and it warms my heart to see a new person walk through the door and have their faces light up at the sight of all our beautiful, friendly cats.

This rescue changed my life for the better almost 8yrs ago. Truly a no kill shelter that doesn't single out the easy rescues, one that will without hesitation come to the rescue of any animal in need. Thank you Mona and thank you for allowing me to become a part of such an honorable non profit..

I have been a volunteer for about a year and a half. I couldn't be prouder to work with an organization. Colony Cats (& Dogs) cares about all of the cats and dogs as well as the occasional pig. The goal is help one animal at a time and to spay and neuter so that we don't continue to help control over population. adults as needed. I would recommend anyone looking for an organization to volunteer with or adopt from to contact Colony Cats (&Dogs.)

I got involved with Colony Cats after I adopted my first cat here, who is an absolute joy to be around. I later returned this summer as a volunteer, and let me just say that it is impossible not to be infected by the positive atmosphere at Colony Cats created by friendly volunteers and staff members and all of the kitties and their fun-filled antics. I really feel like people here value the health of every cat (and dog!) no matter the size or coat or age, and the cage free environment gives the cats a chance to interact and explore in a way that is different from any shelter I have been to.

I found out about Colony Cats via social media and decided to look into volunteering. I'm so glad I did because it's a wonderful place! They teach so much about animal welfare awareness and I've learned a ton since starting there. Everyone is super friendly and there is immeasurable love in all that they do. If you love animals - particularly precious kitties - then this is the place to devote your extra time! And if you can donate anything, please do. They do so much for their animals and always need extra help from amazing people like YOU! :)

Awesome organization! Animals are well cared for. Animals are given needed medical care. Organizations runs entirely on donations and volunteers. What a great cause! Adoption center has friendly volunteers who help you find the best cat for you!

This is a great adoption center with the most helpful staff and volunteers I've ever seen.

There are cats everywhere! Little cats, big cats, black cats, white cats, every color of cat in between. If this isn't your idea of paradise, you are wrong. Go see them today and find the perfect cat (or cats, you can always get more than one) to give a forever home to. All cats are spayed/neutered and up to date on shots. Adoption fees are reasonable. It's a deal that can't be beat. This is the charity most likely to turn you into the crazy cat lady. (But admit it, you secretly always wanted to be a crazy cat lady, didn't you?)

I began with this group by transporting a couple of cats to them from a different rescue organization. After my second transport I realized this was a place that could use another hand. I've adopted from this group (4 times to be exact) and I've fostered more times than I can count. Every single volunteer realizes that every life matters when it comes through the doors, be it a grumpy feral cat or a sickly dog pulled from the local county shelter. Rescue work is the hardest work out there and CC&D runs on volunteers only. Not a single volunteer makes a penny, in fact, most of us often show up to volunteer with supplies in hand because we all understand the importance of being able to care for these animals to the best of our abilities. If you are looking for a place that rescues for the right reasons, or looking for a rescue to adopt from, I highly recommend CC&D.

I became involved with Colony Cats and dogs through tnr. I was overwhelmed with feral cats in my neighborhood. A friend told me about these amazing people who could help me. All I had to do was set the trap and they would pick up the cat have it fixed, return it to me and I would feed and shelter it for the remainder of its life! Well, I'm telling you its addictive. I decided to volunteer at the adoption center cleaning once a week. Now I'm able to do my own tnr. I still get plenty of rescue help from the other volunteers. I went from feeding about 20 strays, to 2 garage cats. It took a few years, and I had to get my neighbors involved but I couldn't have done it without Mona and the amazing volunteers st Colony Cats and Dogs. I still volunteer every week. I will forever be grateful for their help.

I care for a large feral colony in downtown Columbus. I contacted every rescue in town and Colony Cats was the only rescue to help me. They helped trap over 60 cats! A year later the lives of the cats in the colony are 100 percent better. We no longer have litters being born

I have been a volunteer at this organization for over five years. Its a all volunteer no paid staff organization. Colony Cats is one of the only local feline rescues in area that helps the community with TNR. Everyone in the organization does this work for the animals. I am very proud of the work we do in Central Ohio to improve the lives of animals.
