Cozy Cat Cottage

All three of our cats are Cozy Cat Cottage rescues. I especially appreciated how they followed up with us a few weeks after adoption to see how the cats were faring, offered advice and suggestions as needed, and really showed they cared about the cats’ welfare long term.

We adopted 2 wonderful cats from here, one as a new kitten and one when she was about 9 months. Both were healthy and well-cared for before coming to us. The adoption process was smooth and organized. We still love to come visit the cats and support the organization!

Cozy Cat Cottage is an amazing organization that works tirelessly to help as many of these precious kitties as possible. I’ve adopted from them, donated to them, and recommended them to friends. I’m confident that they always put the welfare of the cats first, and they do a great job of giving them all a cozy and love-filled life until they can find a forever home.

We have adopted many cats over the years from Cozy CT Cottage. The staff is so caring and looks after the cats like they are their own. They are vetted thoroughly for any physical problems and that they are properly socialized

My daughter and I have volunteered with Cozy Cat Cottage for 3 years. We help clean the shelter, take cats to adoption events and foster kittens. We've visited several cat shelters in the area and every one of them has an odor to them, except Cozy Cat. They have very high standards for keeping the shelter clean and the cats safe. What most people don't know is that the adoption fee doesn't cover even half of the cost of caring for the cats. All the cats receive the best health care, immunizations, food, and spay/neuter. I highly recommend checking them out if you have any interest in adoption or volunteering with cats.

We are very upset with the treatment from Cozy Cat Cottage! Here is what happened


We have spoken with Cozy Cat Cottage previously about this situation. We dropped off a little 6 week old baby boy (kitten) September 3, 3 months ago. They named him Phelan (Baby Blue is what we called him). We have been calling and volunteering checking to see when he will be neutered. We have asked you to let us adopt him back from you guys once he was neutered. You told us you can't hold a kitten for us. Fine, I understand that. However, we called and volunteered and checked on Phelan for 3 months. Once the staff tells me he doesn’t weight enough to be neutered. One week I was told he was adopted and then they changed it and said “we use to have 2 named Phelan and 1 was adopted and the 2nd doesn’t weigh enough yet. We were told to check back in a week. I've also been told by the staff there that they have no idea. First off how can you not know all you have to do is look him up or even look us up. Do you not want to adopt him back to us? We will pay your $100. At the time when we found him he was still so young he required us feeding him with a bottle every 3 hours and we just couldn't do it and didn’t know how to care for a kitten that young. It has nothing to do with us having room in our house or hearts for him because he had already taken our hearts. We have loved that little guy and still do which is why we were trying to get him back. I didn’t know what the problem was and continued asking them to please tell me if if they still had him and when he will be neutered? How much does he weigh? If it's true that he doesn't weigh enough he's 4 months old how can he not weigh enough to be neutered? We found him and med vet has estimated his age to be 6 weeks. They had had him for 3 months that makes him at least 4 months. He weighed 8oz according to Med Vet when we had him 3 months ago. Is he not eating ok, is his health ok?

After all this effort they finally responde…
Cozy Cat Cottage response...
I found Phelan. He was adopted to a nice lady in November.

He had his neuter surgery on 11/17/22 and went home on the 19th.

For 3 months we kept asking about Phelan checking on him trying to find out when he'd get neutered so we could adopt him. They just kept telling us he didn't weigh enough or they didn't know anything. They blatantly lied to us.
Don't take you cats or kittens to this place. Cat welfare is a much better place.

The professionalism and organization of this place is unacceptable. My partner and I went to pick up our forever kitten two days after placing our deposit and paperwork for her. She was put on hold for us and was promised to have her ready on the agreed pick up date. We walk in to find out she had been adopted by another family.

Imagine the pain of having a promised family member taken away. The news was brought upon us in a joking manner. The volunteer we were working with laughed with another volunteer and to us saying how much trouble she’s in for this. We genuinely thought it was a joke, poking fun at our excitement. It seemed some previous paperwork for her was not pulled out which resulted in a promise never to be fulfilled. They responded saying we could find another cat within the shelter. We spent over 2 hours spending time with each cat available, and chose a specific one and expect to come out with her. This was not an opportunity for a potential pet. We signed and agreed for a new family member. Family members are not replaceable just like that.

We spent the two days between the deposit and our promised pick up date setting everything up so our baby could come home to the perfect place and settle in. We spent hours cat proofing the space, hours buying supplies and play things catered towards her, already contacted our landlord and friends announcing our excitement for a new family member. Only knowing her for two days we spent hundreds to supply for her and hours doing the research for the best. We were prepared to commit many many years with her only to never see her again.

We do not fault the family in the process. They have gotten the most perfect cat and hope for the best for them. We are very disappointed and heartbroken from the disorganization of paperwork and response from the volunteer. This could have easily been avoided. She was already considered a family member, and will always hold a place with us.

Caring no-kill shelter with a strong team of volunteers. They take the time to get to know each cat so that they can make the best matches.

These people are amazing ������ They find a way to help us here in circleville in some way shape or form. I wouldn’t hesitate to send rescues or adopt a new fur baby from them!! Highly recommend everyone to Cozy Cat!!

I had just lost my 12 yr old kitty, Cleo a lynx point Siamese, to cancer, and my 18 yr old kitty, Elton a tuxedo kitty, was very lonely. I contacted Cozy Cat Cottage and they helped me find my precious Dolly, a ragdoll kitty who is just a year old.

They are so kind and loving to all their cats and to visitors that come to see them. I follow their Facebook page snd witness the hundreds of adoptions facilitated by CCC. It’s a beautiful site to see. So many happy people adopting their new kitty friends

Not only that but, they trim the adopted cat’s nails and matted fur on longer haired cars like mine!

I would recommend them to all my friends. Fantastic work!

I first heard of Cozy Cat Cottage through a friend that volunteered. So, naturally when it was time for our family to adopt, we chose CCC. They are wonderful from the start!! All of the volunteers were ready to answer any questions we had. We eventually decided that we wanted to volunteer as a foster family. CCC walked us through the process and were always available to support us. I love that they are huge advocates for the cats and kittens that pass through the shelter. My family loves Cozy Cat Cottage and all that they stand for, as well as for their true love of the cats.

I started looking for a kitten or cat in January. I visited several shelters looking for the right fit. Not only the kitty but the care the kitty received beforehand. I visited Cozy Cat a couple of times. On the last visit I came specifically to see a kitten that I saw on their webpage. He was and is the sweetest. He was fostered in a loving home and has the best temperament He developed some sniffles a few days after I adopted him and it was the weekend and I couldn’t reach my vet. I emailed CCC and they let me bring him in for treatment. I appreciated that so much. The staff at CCC is very knowledgeable and caring. When it’s time for me to adopt again, there will be no need to shop around. I’ll definitely go back to Cozy Cat.

I have adopted 2 cats from Cozy Cat Cottage and wouldn't go anywhere else. I love that they come microchipped, vaccinated, anf fixed. I also love the care they put into finding the right homes for all the cats.

Just an amazing group of dedicated individuals. I am so grateful for the work they all do and you can tell how invested they are the moment you walk into their facility.

Cozy Cat Cottage is the best place to adopt cats!. My babies have all been adopted from Cozy Cat and they are the sweetest. The place is very clean and the people are friendly. Cats are taken care of with love. I definitely recommended Cozy Cat Cottage as the place to adopt kitties or cats

We received the most wonderful cats. This nonprofit cares for all cats and kittens. We are forever grateful for them. They have enriched our lives, via these two kittens, so much!

So very clean!!! Lots of room for the cats to socialize. They also do a fantastic job screening cat Guardians.

I've been volunteering at Cozy Cat Cottage for almost 3 years and am still amazed at what goes on behind the scenes. Kittens and cats come in with horrible back stories, big eyes and sad cries and the medical team joins forces and do ALL THEY CAN to help them. There are so many balls in the air at CCC. Also, if you ask any of the medical team or technicians about how a particular cat or kitten is doing, they do not need to pull charts, they know on the spot, they remember. Overall, CCC is a tough, intelligent, useful, resourceful and loving shelter, a combination needed to help those animals that cannot help themselves.

We have not only adopted 3 cats from CCc, but we now foster kittens on their journey to furever homes. CCC does great work in socializing all the cats and helping them to find purrfect homes.

Where do I begin.... Guess at the beginning...My Blackie Brunswick was 14 years old when he passed to the rainbow bridge.. He was sick most of his like with us... The day came when he was gone... I wanted to get another kitty because i missed Blackie so much. but my hubby was stll heartbroken...So we waited a year.. I started to look at rescues, and decided Cozy Cat Cottage was the right one for me.. I would go in every two weeks, can visit kitties.. The staff and medical team were so very nice to me.. One week I went in, and was ready for a kitten.. I had 4 black kittens in my arms, and Amy added 1 more... This kitten was it. He crawled over the others, and said I am yours... I adopted him, and we went home.. The next day he got sick.. Cindi the director said to come in and she would meet me..Turned out he had a stomach bug. Cindi decided to keep him and get him well... He needed to stay for 10 days of meds... Each day the medical team would give me and update.. They were all so kind and caring. Finally he got to come home.. He has been with us for 6 years.Knowing how caring Cozy Cat Cottage is I decided to volunteer there.. I have been with them for over 5 years now.. It has been a very wonderful experience. They will do whatever they can to help, and save kitties.I feel so lucky to be part of this great rescue..

I have fostered for CCC and have adopted 6 of my family members from this amazing place. Truly the best, most amazing organization that cares for the cats in its care above everything else. I I’ve supporting this organization, and always will!

When we moved to Ohio about 20 years ago, I had two cats. When one of them passed away I looked for somewhere to get a kitten. I found Cozy Cat and went there and found my Callie Girl. She was beautiful and healthy and we took her home 12 years ago.

When you enter Cozy Cat you will not find any bad smells like I had in New York. The place is very clean and the cats are taken care of with a lot of love.

We wanted another cat a couple years ago and we went back and found Lucy.

I would never go anywhere else for my adoptions because Cozy Cat will not kill any cats, they will take care of them and love them until they find their forever home!!!!!

If you are looking for adopting a cat this is the place. They are every loving and they help you to find your best friend for ever. Thank you

I loved visiting this establishment. It is so obvious how much they really really love cats. Very friendly environment. They do such good work.

My name is Paul Mihalik, and I am a certified cat trainer through Animal Behavior College. I first found out about Cozy Cat Cottage because I needed 20 hours as an intern to complete my certification. I chose CCC because of how clean and professionally run they were. They have on-site vet techs who are very proactive, and an impressive set of procedures for animal care.

Even after my internship was completed, I continue to volunteer at CCC because of the love and dedication I see that they have for all the animals in their care, no matter how chronically ill or what challenges a cat might have, they are never put down. Instead they work hard to make sure every animal is well treated and can live as full of a life as possible. I’ve gained a lot both personally and professionally through my association with Cozy Cat Cottage, and I’m proud to be a volunteer there.

I follow this cat rescue organization because I believe very strongly in the work they do...their ethics regarding felines in their approach to adoptions, educating the public on proper cat care, and caring and rehabilitating cats who've suffered at the hands of humans is of the highest caliber. Thank you for the work you do!!

We adopted 2 cats here in 2019: one adult and one kitten. The cats were well cared-for and had plenty of space to roam at CCC. Unlike other rescues we visited which were smelly and overcrowded, CCC was well-run and calm. They had biographical info on all of the cats and made sure they had vet checks, microchips and shots and spay/neuter before adoption. They also called us about a week after we adopted to check in and make sure we had scheduled well-cat visits at a vet. Great care for the kitties!

Several years ago Cozy Cat helped me with some kittens we had and a momma that was pregnant. They were awesome and Ms. Cindy was gracious and super to me. I would go here again and again if I had to. Thanks for helping all the kitties out there!

Wonderful and caring people. They love their cats and give them the best quality of care

I've adopted two cats from Cozy Cat Cottage, one in 2012 and one in 2020. In both cases, these are delightful, social, very healthy cats. The organization as a whole takes the health of their cats very seriously. We had a delay with the first one because he got ringworm the day before we were to pick him up. He stayed with CCC an additional three weeks for his ringworm to clear before we could take him home. The second cat is a staff favorite for his darling personality. I feel honored we now share our home with them both.

I’ve adopted two of my fur babies from Cozy Cat. They have always taken very good care of the kitties before they’re adopted out and always make sure that the home they are going to will be safe and a good fit for everyone involved. Cozy Cat is always helping the cats that have been in unfortunate situations and do the best they possibly can to get the medical needs of these kitties taken care of. All the staff has always been so helpful and caring! We love Cozy Cat Cottage!!

Amazing, caring, experienced, and friendly staff! The facility is always clean and the kitties are well taken care of!

Cozy Cat is the absolute best ! They care about every cat and kitten that comes through the door! The cats get the best care before they are place in their fur-ever home. Thank you CCC ������

Cindy has helped me multiple times, from a litter of flea infested kittens, to taking in a cat I found outside in the dead of winter. This place is truly sent from the heavens.

I've adopted all three of my cats from Cozy Cat. They are doing good things for these kitties. Thanks Cozy Cat.

Cozy cat cottage made adoption worthwhile . They care for each cat like it’s family . And are always willing to answer questions no matter how long ago you adopted

Wonderful, caring organization who have rescued and saved so very many, and gotten them to well deserved, loving homes. I was blessed to have adopted two from them, Jasper and Jazzmyne, CCC Lenny and Lulu. They were the best!! Sadly I recently lost Jazzy at age 14.

Found the perfect kitty for me here! The staff really do a good job of making sure the cats are taken care of and know their individual personalities so they find the right fit for each special baby!

We adopted a cat from Cozy Cat in fall of 2019. The adoption center was clean, the staff was so nice, and we were able to hold and meet a few cats before finally finding one who wouldn’t stop purring or let go! We brought home Fiddler (then Sunny) and he has been the best addition to our family. When we adopted him, he had a hernia and they were quick to repair it and took great care of him! He recovered very quickly and has never had any health issues since! I highly recommend Cozy Cat!

We have fostered kittens for CCC and worked on some Fund Raising for this organization. Being one of the few NO KILL shelters makes Cozy Cat Cottage the best place to support!

I have yet to adopt a cat there but their website cheers me up each day. The positivity of the site, the stories, all create a happy spot in my heart. I love this rescue!

I adopted my cat, Calista, from here 4.5 years ago. It was such a great process and they really care about all of the cats and the homes they go to.

This is why. I have the most sweetest children from Cozy Cat Cottage. I’ve had a total of 10 beautiful loving well adjusted kitties from their shelter I could have not asked to adopt from a better place.

This place is absolutely wonderful.
They took in several Homeless/dumped cats I had found and the director is always volunteering to help in difficult situations.

Wonderful facility with great staff, volunteers, and accommodations! Great place to meet your new family member and they provide so much support before, during, and after!

This is a wonderful organization! They do so much to help cats in our community.

Great non profit and a vital asset for central Ohio cats in need!

Surely Cozy Cat must be doing some good. I agree with Maggie, however. I had a similar experience with an adult cat who needed housing almost two years ago. I was desperate to find even a temporary place for her. The person in charge just said, no room here and didn't appear interested or very helpful. I was forced to leave her in a friends basement. She became trapped in the sump area there, unbeknowest to me, and two nights later died. It was absolutely heartbreaking.

I rescued a mom and kittens. CC refused to take the mother cat and the kittens weren't weaned. I was told they couldn't place adults. I believe if you are in rescue you must do the right thing and take the whole family.

Went to other adoption places. This one was the best. I got a 3 month old kitten. They care about their cats. You have to agree that if you ever had a reason to have to give up cat (there are very few REAL reasons for this), you have to bring back to them. They do NOT want any more cats on the street. Who would give up a family member anyways? :/

I have "hung out" at other places. This place put all others to shame. I LOVE this place!!!!!

Cozy Cat is a real classy and respected organization. The staff and volunteers are very professional and treat each of the cats as if they owned them personally. They shower them with lots of love and attention, which helps them get adopted sooner. I fostered a litter of five kittens for them last year and it was a wonderful experience. I ended up adopting two of them - a beautiful tuxie and a tortie - and the other three were adopted right away. I highly recommend adopting a cat or kitten from Cozy Cat, or helping through volunteer work. It could change your life!

Cozy Cat Cottage is the best. We have adopted 4 kitties from them. They were all so healthy and well cared for. The passion they have for saving lives and giving the cats a safe and loving environment to live in until they find their forever home shines through.

Cozy Cat Cottage is an amazing organization that saves and rehomes street cats. They are clean, well organized and caring. Cozy Cat Cottage is a no kill shelter. Staff, volunteers and supporters work to keep this shelter a healthy and happy environment for the cats. I have adopted several myself!

I adopted two wonderful cats from CCC because of the great work I had seen them doing in the community. Since adopting, my love of CCC has only grown! They do incredible work to support their cats at all stages of life, and they have a dedicated community working tirelessly to support and care for their animals.

Thank you CCC! You gave me my world.

I have been volunteering here for over a year. While I love animals more than anything else, in the past I have never volunteered at an animal rescue center for very long simply because the animals weren't the sole focus of the group or it was too hard to see an animal you've grown to love put to sleep because it was too old or didn't get adopted quickly enough. At cozy cat cottage, this is not the case. Each and every cat is loved and taken care of. Everyone is there to help the cats. The volunteers all know each and every cat and their personality. I've never been anywhere that cares so much about helping animals. I'm proud to say that I volunteer here.

When we lost our 16 year old kitty, a friend referred us to Cozy Cat Cottage. Many things were evident when we walked through the door...first was that all of the cats and kittens were obviously very healthy! No runny eyes or sneezing ~ and, although there were many many kitties to choose from, it was not over-crowded and amazingly the shelter did NOT have an odor. The shelter was very very clean! We adopted a sweet kitten rescued from a country road. She had been ill and in the nursery for weeks getting well. They didn't give up on her and we are so grateful. We since have brought in 3 rescued pregnant mama kitties and they all have found great homes - kittens and mama's! We actually ended up adopting one of the mama's! I was so moved by our experiences that I became a volunteer and am now a board member. I now witness, from behind the scenes, the high level of professionalism of everyone there and - MOST importantly, the high level of care and compassion given to every kitty no matter the age or health. We go the extra mile, and then some for every single one! In my opinion, there are not enough stars to rate this shelter as highly as deserved!

I have adopted twice from Cozy Cat Cottage and they are fantastic! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and caring. I recommend this rescue to anyone looking for a kitty (or two or three) to add to their family.

Cozy cat cottage is outstanding. They take amazing care of their cats. They are very healthy. I've never seen staff so involved as they are. They love every cat as if they were their own and treat everyone as family. I love my fur baby I adopted from them and I am so thankful there are still people in this world like them.

I first started dealing with CCC in 2010. I had a litter of feral kittens and Cindi helped me get them spayed and neutered and gave me great advice on how to find them good homes. None of the other rescues would help me. I was impressed at how beautiful and clean the place is. You would never have guessed there were a lot of cats inthe building. In 2012, I lost my job. Again, Cindi helped me with food for my own furbabies when I was desperate. I really appreciated her caring, loving attitude and all of her help. Without CCC's guidance I would never had gotten the feral popula@tion in my neighborhood under control! I go in every so often to see the kitties and donate when I can. I have referred many friends to CCC and they are delighted with the furbabies they adopted there. CCC is a true asset to Columbus and the surrounding cities.

In May, our 6 year old cat Holly passed away from cancer. Our other cat, Ivy, was so lonely that she would wander the halls and yowl outside our bedroom door most of the night looking for her sister. As we had adopted both Holly and Ivy from the Cozy Cat Cottage when they were kittens, we decided to visit them again to see if they had any kittens that might help Ivy cope with the loss of her sister. The day we were there, almost all of their available cats were adults. They were very sweet cats, but we didn't want to risk there being dominance fighting in the household.

Cozy Cat did have two 7 month old kittens (sisters) who were very friendly. They were older than what we had been hoping to find, but were so affectionate that we fell in love with the both of them. We had only been looking for one kitten, but we wound up adopting them both. (We just couldn't decide on only one of them, and it seemed wrong to separate the sisters.) All of their cats available for adoption are already spayed/neutered and microchipped, so that was one less thing for us to need to worry about.

The Cozy Cat Cottage staff spent a long time with us, helping us come up with a plan for introducing the new kittens to Ivy. Thanks to their help and advice, Ivy has quickly accepted her newly adopted little sisters without any fighting at all from either side. (She has also stopped her middle of the night opera singing as she is no longer lonely.)

Ivy regularly plays with her little sisters (Polly, a polydactyl kitten and Missy, short for Mistletoe) She is very gentle with them (for which we are glad as they are about half her size currently). The 3 girls spend a lot of time together. And while we have yet to see Ivy curl up to nap with them, we have seen them all napping on our bed at the same time, with only a little space between them. It's only a matter of time before we expect to see them all curled up in a big ball together.

Thanks to the Cozy Cat Cottage, instead of one very lonely and very sad cat, we now have 3 happy, healthy, and very snuggly cats. And by sheer coincidence, all 3 are tuxedo cats. The kittens look enough like our Ivy and spend enough time with her that they could be mistaken as her kittens instead of her adopted little sisters. The Cozy Cat Cottage staff even called us recently to see how the 3 girls were getting along and to see if we needed anything at all. Clearly, they care about the cats in their care, even after those cats have been adopted.

Cozy Cat Cottage is a wonderful rescue, always taking in cats and kittens that barely have a chance, and taking the time to provide medical care and love until they are healthy and able to be adopted. The facility is a clean, cage free environment in which cats can wander and have room to run and play, but they are equipped with separate quarantine rooms to ensure successful treatment of sick cats and kittens without compromising the overall health of the shelter. I came to Cozy Cat to adopt my first cat in 2013, but was soon back to volunteer and eventually adopted another cat! Both had quality medical care I know they would not have received at any other rescue. Thanks to Cozy Cat, I was able to adopt two cats which would likely have never been given a chance to fight at any other place!

Such a great organization that always goes out of their way to help a cat in need. The facility and volunteers are wonderful. If all organizations were handled like this one then no animal would ever need to be harmed. They truly care

I love Cozy Cat Cottage; they have such a loving heart for all the kitties. Their storefront is very clean; you would never know there were so many beautiful kittens and cats there when you walk in the door. They do all possible to save hurt kitties and the pregnant momma kitties and their unborn babies too. They have reduced price spay and neuter (and other vet needs) throughout the year, so folks with limited funds can take care of their kitties. I am so proud to have them in my community, and support them whenever possible.

I have volunteered with this nonprofit for several years. I love that I can walk in and play with all the cats on the adoption floor. The only cats in enclosures are in them for their safety due to size or if they have tested positive for FIV. This is a place where all cats get a chance even those with FIV, most shelters put FIV + cats to sleep.

The volunteers are knowledgeable and friendly; they want each cat to go home to the right home that is going to love them.

The directors are awesome. I have made many friends over the years.

Great passionate people who care about cats, and are focused on their mission to treat them with love, compassion and dignity. They are a no-kill cat shelter who serve the surrounding community, and have done so for many years. They have a strong base of supporters, and staff members who have served for many years.

We were searching for a kitten, and found the perfect one at Cozy Cat Cottage. Everyone was helpful. I was impressed by the number of volunteers who were happily working away, cleaning thoroughly, checking on every detail for the cats' well-being, and interacting lovingly with the cats. The design of their facility provided a variety of environments. Since the kitten in which we were interested was not quite cleared/available for adoption, we needed to wait another day. No problem for us, as we wanted the best outcome for her. We appreciated that the CCC cared for the cats' well-being. Clearly, everyone at CCC knew the cats and cat behavior very well, and they were focused first and foremost on the well-being of the animals and making appropriate decisions about placement in forever homes.. We were able to take little Jasmine into a separate room to get to know her before deciding to adopt. Things went well, and playful, silly Jasmine is now our little one. I would recommend CCC most highly to folks who are looking for a cat or kitten.

Cozy Cat Cottage is simply amazing. Medicine can only heal so much... The real healing comes from the love, attention and devotion they provide every cat to ensure they can live out their lives happy and healthy in their forever homes. Thank you for all you do! This organization truly inspires me.

Cozy Cat is truly a place that is in it for the cats. They made decisions based upon the needs for the cats. They clean their facility so when you walk in you don't know there are 50+ cats there, unlike others places that had such a horrid odor. They don't look like hoarders in there. They take the right amount so it is not overrun. They treat each kitty like it is their own. They are a top notch place!

Have always been a dog person, but after my last dog passed away, I just couldn't do it anymore. Then my husband surprised me with a trip to CCC and I fell in love with 2 precious babies, brother and sister. We are now going on 2 years and I love them more and more every day
CCC made the transition for us from dog owners to cat owners so smooth.
Their package deal is unbeatable.
The staff is amazing and very helpful and love what they do! Also, the community of CCC rock!

Very nice people,very clean atmosphere & i love the free roaming cats. As soon as you get to the door you can see that the cats love this place they don't even try & run out the door When people are coming and going.

When I moved to Columbus, I googled nonprofit no kill cat only shelters and found Cozy Cat! I visited and right away felt that this was a place I could get behind and volunteer with. Amy, Cindi and the other volunteers were very knowledgeable about each cat which was impressive considering the number of cats. The shelter was kept very clean, due to a great supportive volunteer community. I volunteered for cleaning shifts for a few months as well as taking cats for showings at PetCo/Smart to help gain visibility and increase adoptions. Eventually my husband and I adopted two FIV+ male cats (adopted a year apart from one another) and have been fostering mama cats and their kittens intermittently for the last two years. Cozy Cat has been very supportive of us during each adoption and throughout our fostering experiences. They have a very active Facebook page and are well known and respected in the Columbus MSA especially for their TNR and rescue work. Our now healthy kitties were rescued when they were on death's door, but Cozy Cat did not give up on them. I have seen this time and again and it makes me feel so proud to support and be a part of such a wonderful organization!

We my mother and I went to cozy cat cottage to get a new cat. They the staff were so helpful and considerate of my mother who an elderly person. They got her a chair and put a towel on the chair. They brought out trixie, they explained that she was born in a barn, so she was feral. She sat on my mom's lap and purring away. She let me hold her and purred also. They have been there for me when we first got her. They go out of there way to rescue animals, staying up with kitties that have been abandoned, bottle feeding them. They deserve an award I never seen such a caring shelter for kitty and cat furbabies. Trixie although was feral she is the snuggler. Our mother has passed on trixie was comforting to mother. God bless all of them. They deserve like I said they go out of the way to help abandoned animals

Cozy Cat Cottage is a sanctuary for cats that operates at the highest levels of cleanliness and health that I have ever seen in a cat rescue. They are VERY picky about who adopts the cats that come there. They believe that the CATS COME FIRST and the humans are integrated around the cats. The love they have for our 4 legged feline friends is top notch and I have adopted several there and multitudes of my family and friends have as well.

I went into Cozy Cat intending to look at the cats they had available with the possibility of adopting one. I ended up leaving with a cat that day after spending some time in the facility. The volunteers are very helpful and knowledgeable and continue to be supportive through social media. the center is very clean and organized and the volunteers work tirelessly for the animals between placing them in loving homes and seeing to their health and well-being. they continue community support by offering low cost vet clinics and spay/neuter clinics. I am so happy that I found them.

Started my experience with this agency as a high school volunteer many years ago, then I convinced my parents to get a black cat named Salem in 2006. The agency did a great job explaining cat care and adoption procedures and Salem was a great girl. Sadly she passed away in May but Cozy Cat was very supportive and a month later helped my parents get two more felines. Both felines are both very happy with my parents and cozy cat always welcomes updates on their cats and they have given me great advice on my own two stray cats I've taken in. Great shelter all around!

When the local feral cat had kittens, I called. Despite a long waiting list, the worker did not brush me off but gave me some useful advice and encouragement. She could have just said, were full, but she showed compassion and a true love of animals by staying on the line with me. They care.

What an amazing organization to not only house and care for these animals but love them and find them forever homes! I have the utmost respect for all of the people who help make Cozy Cat Cottage the second chance for so many little furry lives! ❤️

You will not find a group more dedicated to the well being of cats.

I think you guys are amazing. We need more people who care as much as you do.

I adopted my wonderful cat, Willy, from Cozy Cat Cottage. He has been the best addition to our family. Cozy Cat does a great job making sure you're getting a kitty thay will fit your/your family's needs. They know their cats well, and are serious about making sure everyone (including the cats!) are happy with their new living situation. I am beyond happy with their establishment and their practices in caring for their cats! Thanks CCC for giving me the coolest cat ever!!

I first learned about Cozy Cat Cottage when I was an employee at Petco, who works with CCC to promote adoption of homeless cats. I enjoyed talking with the kind volunteers and noticed how dedicated they were to making sure that all of their cars were healthy and happy. I became a volunteer myself and was impressed with the size and quality of their facility in Powell. It was clean, spacious, and filled with cat furniture, toys, large food dispensers, water fountains, (litter boxes of course), and special areas for quarantine of sick cats. From my experience, Cozy Cat Cottage provides a loving, safe place for these beautiful animals, that fulfills their physical, emotional, mental, and social needs. Every volunteer I have interacted with has shown dedication and love for animals.

Cozy Cat Cottage is an amazing place. I have volunteered at CCC for 14years and have seen such kindness. Every cat and kitten is loved, care for and their health is constantly monitored. CCC works in our community to educate children about pet overpopulation and the need to Spay/Neuter to slow the cycle

Cozy Cat Cottage is the best!!!!!!!!

Cozy Cat Cottage is amazing! They have such dedication, love, and compassion. The cats are so well taken care of and loved, and I thank God for them. I have seen it first hand. Thank you Cozy Cat for all you do!

We had the most wonderful experience with adopting our dear cat Austin from Cozy Cat Cottage. They are a wonderful organization!!

We adopted Jaxon (now Wedo Luigi) a little over three years ago, and are so thankful that he's part of our family. We have four dogs, and you can usually find him snuggled with his best friend, our deaf 12 year old staffordshire terrier.

Adopted not one but two cats from cozy cat cottage. My vet was completely impressed by the care that they had received from them. Top notch facility that loves what they do!

It is a great place to volunteer and for finding awesome cats to adopt. I have adopted two kitties from Cozy Cat and they are absolutely wonderful. The low cost medical clinics and spay/neuter services are a great benefit to the community.

The people and kitties of Cozy Cat are amazing! Everyone is so caring and they do a great service for our community. Could not recommend them enough!

I adopted the sweetest cat I've ever met - and I've met plenty - who's sleeping on my arm right now. I've sent and helped pick out 3 others. All cats are happy and come well taken care of. No ear mites, unlike the poor shelters. God bless for what they do so well!

I adopted my girl Gemma from them a year ago. Sheila the sweetest Cat I have ever owned. I have known about Cozy Cats for many years. I know that the owner does anything she can to ensure the safety health and unconditional love to every animal and human she encounters. If Cozy Cats rescues an animal we can all breath easier because the animal is in good hands. I will always support Cozy Cats.

I found a young cat curled up under a van last night. I couldn't just leave the poor thing, since it was going to be in the low twenties that night. I got out of my car and called to the cat, amazingly, it came right out and over to me, eager for love. My mom had volunteered for Cozy Cat in the past, so i reached out to them for help. Right away, someone responded with ideas for where to post about the cat to try to find an owner. They also recommended that I take the cat to the vet to have it checked for a tag. Unfortunately, there was no tag, and the cat was so dirty that i am convinced that it hasn't had a home in a long while. I'm so glad to know that there is an organization so willing and happy to help any and all cats in need.

I have adopted two kitties of my own from CCC and my family has also adopted two. We love them so much. The workers couldn't be nicer. I take the kids I babysit in to visit with the cats and they are more than welcoming. I swear the cats there are sweeter than any others. We adopted our first cat 10 years ago and our last one just 6 months ago, then with two in between those years. So we are definitely returning for a reason!

I love to visit CCC. The cats all seem to be really happy. I love the scratching posts and beds they have. The litter boxes are always kept clean. Unlike other facilities I have visited there is no bad smell. I recommend them to anyone that is looking for an addition to their home.

I've adopted 2 kitties from cozy cat cottage. The people are lovely. The cats are healthy, and the facility was clean. I refused to adopt a cat from another nearby shelter because their cats are always sick and their facility is always gross and unclean. I always suggest CCC to anyone looking for a new pet. Thanks Cindy!

I adopted Zazzie a couple of years ago and I fell in love instantly I was told that she was going to be killed since she was born with a sinus infection so Cozy Cat stepped in and saved her. Zazzie has no health issues since I adopted her and I'm so lucky that they saved her and I get to call her mine evwryday.

I volunteered at Cozy Cat Cottage for several years. The dedication, caring and love showered upon these kitty cats is heart-warming. While they wait for their forever homes they are warm, safe, dry, full tummies and lots of playmates. Thank you CCC for all you do!

Cozy Cat is the best cat shelter I have ever been to! I started volunteering there when I was 14 and continued until I left the area. I still visit regularly when I am at home! Not only does Cozy Cat give the best medical care to its potential adoptees, it reaches out to the community at large with its spay-neuter program for local cat owners and ferals.

My darling Pepe was a Cozy Catter, and so is one of our current cats, Miss Zoe. And it's thanks to Cozy Cat that both wonderful felines entered our lives!

Cozy Cat Cottage is a wonderful organization! They were very helpful and friendly when I adopted my cat from them!

Cozy Cat Cottage works for an amazing cause as a no kill shelter. The staff was helpful, knowledgeable, and really nice as my family took our time to find and adopt our newest feline family member. I swore I would go to Cozy Cat the next time I was looking to adopt and I'm so happy I could follow through. I will always support this fantastic organization!

When our first cat died, we came to Cozy Cat to donate some of his toys. We ended up adopting (or rather I should say being adopted by) Rapha, one of CCC's rescues. Besides finding this beautiful cat who filled a big hole in our hearts, we also found a community of like-minded cat lovers who hsve been a great source of inspiration, information, and support as we raise Rapha & two more barn cats that we adopted later

Cozy Cat Cottage was nothing but helpful when my little kitty went missing. I called to see if anyone had turned her in and although no one had, the nicest lady gave me a ton of good information on what to do to find my little Penny. I will forever be grateful =)

Just wonderful. They have come to the rescue for me when I found an elderly gentlman fur baby that was emaciated and blind wandering Cleveland Ave. They took him in and fixed him up and one of the volunteers ended up adopting the sweet old man.

A stranger on facebook posted that she saw a kitten that was not doing so well outside while she was doing her paper route. She said her paws were in poor shape and a vet said possible gangrene and may need amputated. I shared her post with some rescue friends who then contacted Cozy Cat Cottage. We are talking midnight to 3 a.m. that this transpired! Cozy Cat Cottage agreed to help this sweet kitty from Jackson, Ohio. Two people met in the middle to transport Lily. Lily had an URI and her nails had curved into her paws. CCC fixed her right up and now Lily is in her forever home, warm, safe, and well. I can't thank CCC for all that they do without hesitation, no matter what time.

Cozy Cat Cottage is the most well-run rescue group that I have encountered. Most recently a little black kitty made his way to my porch and when I fed him I noticed a large cut in his underarm. I searched many rescues looking for "good sam" funds to get this poor kitty some medical care. Cozy Cat Cottage took him in to see their vet, had him neutered and his wounds treated, and will keep him until he is healthy enough to be adopted. While all shelters and rescues are always overfull, Cozy Cat Cottage will bend over backwards and do whatever they can to help a kitty in need. They have a great adoption center and a well trained staff of volunteers. Their founder is the most dedicated of any person I know. I highly recommend adopting your next kitty from this wonderful group so they can continue rescuing more needy kitties and giving them a second chance at a good life.

Amazing! Simply amazing organization going the extra mile!

Wonderful organization constantly looking out for the well-being of felines regardless of their condition. They genuinely care about taking the best care possible of the kitties!

We adopted two kitties from Cozy Cat. They are so good about telling you about the cats personalities and making sure it's a good fit for you and the kitty. It is clean and the kitties are so loved while they wait there for their forever homes. I'm really happy we found Cozy Cat and our fur babies!

Got 2 wonderful cats from them, and they were great about taking care of them. They have allergies but that didn't matter because Cozy Cat takes in all kinds! They have a dedicated staff and first rate mission!

We recently adopted a kitty from Cozy Cat 3 months ago and were very pleased with the service. However, they have gone above and beyond since we have adopted him and had a few questions about him using his little box. The advice I received from their volunteers were spot on with what the Vet's office told us. I would definitely go back to get another cat from them in the future.

After I lost my last rescue kittie at 20 ( his brother passed 2 yrs earlier) I was good living "furr free" I traveled a lot and thought it best.....but 6 months later I started making the rounds at local rescues. The 3rd on the tour was Cozy Cat and referred by 3 trusted friends who have numerous rescues from Cozy Cat. We'll after visiting the first 2 I was going to call it quits but my friend was waiting for me at Cozy Cat. When I walked on I was pleasantly surprised by the mature cats up front, clean, friendly, odor free. When we walked into the back ...my heart was full....Kitties playing inside and outside of their cages, totally well cared for. I fixated on my boy..he was 8 months..but wanted to adopt a pair. She was up front - 16 months, so shy at first and I am blissfully a furr mom again. For the last 2.5 years.....and loving every furr moment. Thank you Cozy Cat for rescusing my forever furr kids for me. Blessed....Xoxo

In January 2015 I walked into several shelters looking for the perfect cat for me. I just gone through a very rough year and needed a companion. Other shelters were nice but every time I went into someplace and said what i wanted, no one quite had the cat I was looking for. I then came across Cozy Cat Cottage. When I went in I explained exactly what kind of cat I wanted and they lady said I think we have just the cat. After quite awhile trying to find Tink she brought him over to me. He was exactly what I wanted. He is so well behaved and good natured. He was well taken care of and without CCC doing the great Job that they do I would never have found him!

I have adopted three cats from Cozy Cat Cottage, and have had a great experience each time. The staff/volunteers are friendly and you can tell they care. I really support the fact that they are a no kill shelter and recommend them to anyone looking for a cat or kitten.

My two babies have brought so much joy and entertainment. CCC does such a GREAT job. Thanks CCC for all you do!

They are doing a great job saving and helping the fur babies. Keep up the great work.

When my wife lost her companion of more than 16 years dating back to her college days at Otterbein, it took a while for her to get over the pain and think about a new four legged family member. One eve, she went to Cozy Cat Cottage and it blew her mind to see the number of animals they tended to with so much love and care. While that many cats affects my allergies, I started meeting her there after work or going with her to help choose. She had always wanted a seal point Siamese, so when I came upon one in that environment, I was very much surprised - pure bred cats like this one had to be very expensive! She was very talkative and loving with me - thus, I called the wife over - and it was pretty much a done deal since it had my stamp of approval. MaiLyn spent many years with us and our four legged menagerie. Cozy Cat Cottage made it possible. It is truly an operation built upon love and concern - and it is surely a very impressive undertaking with a very positive "business" model. The volunteers are upbeat no matter the task, the taskmasters very much involved in all aspects. It is a five star operation very much worthy of any donations or grants that find their way to fund them. Top notch!

These people are angels for animals! Giving a voice to the voiceless and finding homes for the homeless creatures❤️ they devote their energy and time day in and day out! I follow their Facebook page and see constant concern and effort for their furry friends. People like this deserve the utmost respect. Xo cozy cat cottage

My daughter and I have spent a lot of time volunteering here and they always have the welfare of the animals as their top priority. Lots of love and care.

When I visit Columbus, I never miss going to see Cozy Cat cottage. I just love the work that they all do for so many cats. It is just amazing what the monetary cost are of saving the lives of so many cats. Please remember this is only possible thru DONATIONS and VOLUNTEERS. If I lived in Ohio, I would be there working at least 1 day a week. See you all in 2 months.

They were very nice and welcoming to anyone who came in. They answered any questions with ease and the adoption process was quick and painless. I got to find the perfect cat for my family through their hard work and dedication. I support them 100% for what they've given me.

Cozy Cat is awesome
Anyone who loves cats and save their lives,is a winner to me!
Their ❤️ and care for cats goes above and beyond!
I will support them in everything they do!
I have 8 rescue kitties and would take more if I had the room

We adopted Millie from Cozy Cat Cottage over 3 years ago. She was 3 years old at that time and had spent her entire life at Cozy cat since she was a tiny kitten. She is the most loveable, affectionate cat we have (we have a total of 5). She had a great upbringing at Cozy and we are just so grateful to CCC for providing a safe and happy home to these kitties while they wait for their permanent homes. We have also donated money at Christmas time instead of spending money on ourselves because we believe so much in Cozy Cat and their mission. It is so clean and a wonderful place to adopt from. And the CCC staff and volunteers are very passionate about caring for their precious cats. CCC fan for life!

I am a cat lover. I had my cat Melrose for 19.50 years. It was hard when I had to put him to sleep but he had lived a full life. It was a few years before I was ready to be a cat mom again. I saw Salem at a pet store in Lewis Center in March and I fell for him. The following week I contacted the Cozy Cat Cottage and asked about him. They kept him on hold for me. I went that weekend and picked him up. I recently got married and Salem has become part of our family. Thanks to the Cozy Cat Cottage and their staff for being so helpful and making the transition easy for him. I would highly recommend Cozy cat Cottage to anyone who wants to adopt a cat. One thing that impressed me was for an adoption agency it was very clean and you weren't overwhelmed with "cat" smell. If and when we want to adopt again I will go back.

Cozy Cat Cottage has saved the lives of 1000's of cats and kittens through rescue and adoptions. They are very active in educating the public in spay and neuter while providing low cost spay and neuter clinics to aid in preventing more unwanted cats. Their dedication to their cause is unwavering.

Cozy Cat Cottage has an excellent adoption process. All the people I know who adopted there are proud parents who provide amazing care to their pets. Good Job!

Cozy Cat Cottage is a fantastic organization who does wonderful work with the kitties! We adopted our cat Shelly there two years ago and could not be happier. The personnel were friendly and knowledgeable and the facility was very clean. We donate to Cozy Cat Cottage every year!

What a great organization everytime I've been there the people have been kind the place has been clean & i will go back again & again.

My daughter adopted a kitten a few months ago and I was so impressed on how CCC takes care of their kittens/cats that I became a weekly volunteer. I've seen first hand how they pay attention to small details to make forever homes for their cats.

Such an amazing charity. I really value the work this organization does to help cats & kittens find forever homes.

I adopted my cat Olive (formerly Yoshi) from Cozy Cat Cottage several years ago. I was so pleased with their dedication to their cats. I own a pet sitting company and I do not hesitate to tell my clients about this organization.

Cozy cat cottage is amazing! We have adopted 3 amazing kitties from there. The minute you walk in you know those cats are loved by the caring and knowledgeable volunteers. I wish I lived closers so I could volunteer with them!

From the moment I walked through the door, I knew Cozy Cat Cottage was an unusually fine cat shelter. Most adults are not caged and are healthy. Kittens are not adopted until they have recovered fully from their spay/neuter surgeries and fully vaccinated and kept in large enclosures to protect their developing immune systems. Adoption counselors know each cat and provide full disclosure of all information. And they are there to provide support after the adoption. I have worked with a number of cat rescues. Cozy Cat Cottage is the best of the best.

CCC was recommended to me when I was looking to adopt another cat last winter. I adopted my Carson from Cozy Cat in January and could not have been more impressed by this wonderful organization. They work hard to care for their kitties and it's evident they are very passionate about what they do!

Cozy cat cottage is an absolutely incredible place! They helped me rescue a cat from behind an office complex and answered all my questions about getting her acclimated with my other kitties. Their staff and volunteers are PASSIONATE about helping cats and have mobilized at all hours of the day and night to help a cat in need. It is humbling and inspiring to see the lengths they go to in order to truly protect the journeys of those who have no voice.

we found these wonderful people several years ago when money was very tight for us. I would take my two younger children to visit and play with the cats. It taught them how to be kind to animals, show love for them and respect the amazing effort and job these folks do!! Today my 16 year old daughter donates her time around her busy schedule ( soon to be more when marching season is over) we believe in every value these folks put forward. This us an amazing place to adopt a kitten or cat from!! Thank you so very much for all you do!!

They were amazing with my Daisy Girl Scouts. They helped us learn about caring for animals. All of our girls want to go back!

Cozy Cat Cottage is an amazing organization. We adopted one cat from them and they helped us raise and save another kitten. They have such passion and love for the cats and the community!

We adopted a kitten last year. We werent sure what kitten or cat we wanted but the staff had thorough knowledge of all the cats and which ones would be a good match. We were able to play with the kitten before we decided to adopt her. Also the cottage followed up with us and ensured we had a vet for her. Great company who truly care about their cats and kittens!

We adopted our sweet pickles a couple of weeks ago! So happy with her and all the volunteers and workers at Cozy Cat!! Thank you for a perfect fit!

I've had the pleasure of being involved with Cozy Cat Cottage for over 10 years through my significant other. He is a long time volunteer. The director, Cindi, has a big heart and donates her life to the cats who are fortunate enough to be taken in to the shelter. They get love, attention, and top notch medical care. The volunteers are committed to the cats. I've in turn started to volunteer in a smaller measure by helping with the cats placed for adoption in various pet stores. Cozy Cat has a big heart. Two of our four furry friends are Cozy Cat alumni.

Adopted both my cats here. The facilities are great, wonderful staff/volunteers & cats are well cared for.

My family believes in CCC so much my father has decided to have donations given to them in lieu of flowers at this funeral. .....but i hope that's not for a VERY LONG TIME..

Ccc is a wonderful organization. ..it came to the rescue when a older abandoned kitty was sick and outdoors....they helped get him h ealthy again and is ready forcadoption...they stepped up when no one else did. .. can' t say enough about the hard work they all do looking out for the fur babies that need forever homes.

Cozy Cat does an amazing job with their cats. Their staff are incredible, they know the cats and care about hem while they are in heir care and after he fact, calling in to shock up on recent adoptions and just being invested in what they do. We've adopted 2 cats from Cozy Cat and will never go anywhere else!!

Cozy Cat Cottage does a wonderful job and the people that work/volunteer there are so kind and really want to help. Very clean, organized and wonderful people. I recently adopted my 4th cat from them and I am so happy! So is my new family member! Looking for a kitty, I highly recommend Cozy Cat!

An amazing organization with incredible people who volunteer their time so, homeless and sick felines can find health and forever homes. I've never seen volunteers so committed. I've supported Cozy Cat Cottage for many, many years because they truly love the cats they take in. They go above and beyond. Their facility is extremely clean. The environment is safe and loving. I can't say enough wonderful things about this organization. I highly recommend adopting from Cozy Cat Cottage.

Cozy Cat Cottage is a truly special place for cats waiting to find their forever homes. We adopted our cat from CCC last January and she has been a perfect fit for our family. All of our interactions with the staff during our adoption process were wonderful, they were able to answer all our questions and you could tell they truly loved the animals they cared for. We have since become donors and supports of Cozy Cat Cottage, as we have seen first hand the great work and compassionate work they do there.

We were referred to CCC by MedVets and were impressed by the love for each cat in their care. They listened and made a recommendation based on our family. We adopted and have remained in touch ever since. Their care and advice doesn't end with adoption!

This place is amazing!! They care so much for the animals. Whenever we have a general question they are always there to help!

I became a volunteer after adopting our two cats from Cozy Cat. Their love and passion for the cats in their care is amazing. They do an excellent job at caring for the cats. I am proud to be a small part of Cozy Cat Cottage.

11 years ago I adopted one of my best friends. She passed a year ago, but she was a blessing in my life. Cozy cat helped me find the right cat for me.

I've gotten both of my cats from cozy cats as kittens. They are all about what's best for the cat and what you can do for the cat to keep them happy and healthy rather than trying to make a "sale" I will never go anywhere else if I ever decide to add to the family again.

One day, my hubby and I walked into a local pet store, to purchase a harness for our cat that likes to escape outside. We hoped it would sate her curiosity.

While it did not work according to plan, the CCC kittie that was placed there that day, Addie, was soon rubbing against our legs and meowing so much at us that we knew it was fate... and on that day, we became CCC supporters.

Tirelessly working with the community's feline and human sides alike, CCC has shown time and time again they will do anything to protect and love the precious furbabies that have no other place. Each time we've been there, the volunteers cheerful greet us while going about their work, and the shelter staff focuses on making sure we have what we need for whatever we are there for.

Love CCC! They are definitely one of the strongest saviors for cats around!

Adopted my cat from here back in 2008. Love the work that they do for these cats and have recommended them several times to others. Thank cozy cat cottage!

This organization is not only dedicated but meticulous in both the care and treatment of the cats and kittens they rescue. In my opinion, they set the standard for how animal rescues should run. I'm very grateful for CCC.

The staff is so knowledgeable. I have gone into shelters and asked about the personality of kittens and been told that kittens are too young to know. The staff at CCC immediately knew about each animal and helped me find the perfect cat. She was so well socialized and is the best pet ever.

I have adopted my second cat from Cozy Cat. They are a great help and an asset to the community.

I was in a spot with my kitties multiplying like crazy and reached out to Cozy Cat and they stepped in and helped spay and neuter and adopt out to wonderful loving homes lots of my fur babies and with out them I don't know what I would have done. Thank you Cozy Cat Cottage from me and my fur babies

Though I had to stop volunteering due to health issues, I dearly loved volunteering there. It was amazing to me how much love everyone had for the kitties, and among the long time resident kitties, all the volunteers knew each of their names. I thought that was a shining example of how much they care for each cat individually, while also pursuing the mission of helping as many cats as possible. I will definitely be going there whenever I am able to add another kitty member to my family.

This is a well-managed animal shelter staffed by people who are passionate about quality animal care. I have adopted two cats here and it is always a professional and enjoyable experience.

I donate to CCC due to the simple fact that everyone I've seen on its Facebook page are always upbeat and helpful with questions I've had and I've been very welcomed. A volunteer busy with grad school took time to help me walk my neighborhood with the aroma of a roasted chicken to try to find an injured cat I encountered a few times. She has also offered to help me trap a male feral cat I've been feeding for 7+ years so he can get neutered. Again, not judged for not having him trapped and fixed way before this, only help and support. Another volunteer has offered to help transport him, if caught, to the low cost spay/neuter clinic and keep him overnight in her garage before release back into my neighborhood. I have done stupid things with my kitty but I'm not afraid to admit them to this group because they don't judge anyone; they only support, help and promote better ways and offer great knowledge of resources they have experience with. If I ever rescue another kitty, it will be from CCC because you don't just adopt a kitty or kitties, you adopt the WHOLE organization! :)

I have been a volunteer at CCC for almost a decade. I have volunteered elsewhere prior. I have adopted a cat from CCC as well. I could go on for pages, but will be brief. I would not volunteer once or twice a week in a facility I did not believe in. I am honored to support CCC financially as well as with my time. I also work special events. CCC is a small shelter but a world class organization. Someone said recently that a cat or kitten ending up at CCC is like getting into Harvard. I find that an appropriate analogy. The management and Directors and volunteers take care of (our) cats. Thanks for reading. Dave.

We adopted a kitten about a month ago from the Cozy Cat Cottage. It was by far the best cat shelter I've ever been to, I've never seen such love and attention to the animals in a shelter environment. Our boy is well rounded and behaved because of it. I will return again & again (when Charlie needs a brother or sister) and could not more highly recommend them.

Earlier this year, my family and I had been considering adding another pet to our family. We were lucky enough to find the perfect cat through Cozy Cat. The volunteers were able to share information that helped us make our decision, as well as serving as a resource to handle the transition to our home. We've been very happy with our experiences with Cozy Cat, but it can't come close to how happy we are with our newest member of the family.

I adopted my cat Poppy from Cozy Cat Cottage around New Years 2014. Such a clean, well-maintained facility, I knew immediately upon entering that I would adopt there. The cats have ample room and are well cared for. The adoption process was straight -forward, and they followed up with me after Poppy came home to make sure everything was okay for both of us. I recommend them to everyone I know, and will be happy to return there should the need ever arise.

After moving to Ohio, my husband and I wanted to volunteer somewhere and we looked at many area rescue facilities. Cozy Cat was by far the cleanest, with the nicest people who actually spoke to us , and had the healthiest cats on their main adoption floor. There is a great energy that you feel when you walk into the door. All of the volunteers, the executive director, and board members all adhere to the no kill policy that is in Cozy Cat's mission statement. My husband and I have adopted our kitties from Cozy Cat and love them all beyond measure. Our 4th Volunteer "Anniversary" is coming up in a couple of weeks and we are very fortunate to be a small part of such an amazing facility. Our hearts were missing something we did not know until we became involved with Cozy Cat Cottage.

My fiancee and I adopted our two beautiful cats from Cozy Cat Cottage approximately one year ago on 10/5/13. We were treated with kindness and all of our questions were answered. We were treated as a part of the family while we were there. I am very glad that we chose Cozy Cat as our adoption center for our kitties and I would do it again. My fiancee and I recommend Cozy Cat to anyone interested in saving a kitty or 2 :) Kudos to Cozy Cat and all that they do to save the kitties.

I adopted a kitten from Cozy Cat two years ago, and the experience was fantastic! The entire facility was very clean, all of the cats/kittens were well taken care of, and the staff were very friendly. Cozy Cat saved my kitten, along with his 7 brothers and sisters and mother from being put down at another shelter. When they were saved, they were put into foster care with one of the volunteers and they did an excellent job socializing him. When I adopted him he was neutered and had all of his vaccines and was ready to go. He is now over 2 years old and is the sweetest cat I have ever known, I count my blessings every day that Cozy Cat saved him!

We've adopted twice from Cozy Cat. The first time was 10 years ago and the second was about 6 months ago. I like them in that you can go in and interact with the cats freely. This time, our new cat picked us. We petted and played with several but in the end, Murray made it clear he had picked out our son as his person. From a stray kitten, to a half grown cat that was completely well adjusted enough to take up with a small child, that's how well CCC does with their cats. Obviously, our son and daughter have been raised with cats and know how to get along with them but to find a cat that young who so instantly bonded with them is impressive. If they wake up at night scared, he will go jump in the bed with them. The first cat we got from them is still with us as well.

Everyone at CCC is friendly and above all, it's obvious that they really love cats. They have created an excellent environment there and my wife and I instantly felt comfortable. We went in looking for a pair of female kittens, but while we were looking, a 6 month old male chose us by jumping into my wife's arms and hugging her! We were smitten immediately and we couldn't be more happy with him! He had a bit of a cold when we got him home, but CCC was quick to supply us with some antibiotics that fixed him right up. We had a great experience with CCC, and have been recommending it to friends on Facebook. Definitely go check them out first when you're ready to adopt a new feline family member!

From start to finish, what a wonderful organization to work with. Cozy Cat staff were so caring and knowledgeable assisting our family in finding the perfect cat for us. I was amazed at how clean and well run the facility was in servicing such a large volume of cats, and the great dedication of all the staff. They were very concerned about finding the appropriate fit for us with a dog and child in the home, and followed up short term and longer term to make sure everything was going well. I couldn't recommend them more highly. We had a great experience, and now have a life long family member whom we all love dearly.

I just can't say enough good things about Cozy Cat Cottage, a no-kill cat shelter in Powell Ohio. I tell everyone who is considering adopting a cat, or is looking for a place to volunteer. People who visit for the first time often comment on how clean the place looks and smells, and the volunteers work every day to keep it so, because a clean environment is a healthy environment for the cats. I like to point out that one of the perks of being a cleaning volunteer is that after the work is done, we get to play with the cats. Its fun for us, and good for the cats, socializing them to lots of people, and increasing their chances of getting adopted quickly. I'm also an adopter, and the first cat I brought home acclimated amazingly fast to my home and my other cats, because she got a lot of attention at the shelter. Cats who are shy get lots of TLC to help them transition to the shelter environment.

Cozy Cat Cottage is one of the few places in Central Ohio who will take orphan kittens who must be bottle fed, and pregnant cats or cats with babies, who need a safe place to raise their kittens. Cozy Cat has a wonderful group of foster homes for these little ones, until they are big enough to be spayed/neutered and put up for adoption. Cindi Clum-Oppenheimener, the Executive Director, takes the responsibility to bottle feed most of the babies who do not have moms, and from spring until fall, she has assorted babies she tirelessly hand feeds, 24/7 (Cindi you are amazing!) In most shelters, the directors do not do much of the care for the animals. Not true for Cozy Cat. Here, everyone in charge is hands on, and does everything from paper work, to adoptions, to litter box scooping.

All of the feline residents are lovingly looked after and cared for. Cats who are sick are treated promptly by our amazing vet techs (Amy, you are awesome!). Even if the cat has a serious illness, it is cared for, treated, can run up large vet bills, as the shelter tries to cure it. Most places just kill cats who are sick, they don't want to pay to treat them. Not Cozy Cat. The only time cats are put down for an illness is if it is not treatable to allow the cat to have a quality of life. Cozy Cat does not let cats suffer, and every decision to end a life is carefully considered, and with many tears by everyone who knew the cat.

Cozy Cat has been expanding its presence in Central Ohio. In addition to spay/neutering shelter cats, it now has a program to provide low or no cost spays and neuters for the public. Cindi is trying to increase the number of days the shelter can offer public spay/neuters. Another recent program she has started is a low-cost vet day, for people to be able to bring their cats in for basic checkups, vaccinations and microchipping. Being low income should not deter people from providing medical care for their cats.

Cozy Cat has other public outreach services too. It works with cat colony caretakers and TNR (trap-neuter-return) workers to get strays and feral cats spayed and neutered so they do not produce more unwanted cats. When it has room to take in some of the friendlies or kittens who find themselves out on the street, it does. All of the cats at Cozy Cat Cottage come from hoarding, abuse or off the streets situations. Cozy Cat is trying to start a cat food bank, to help colony caretakers feed the cats they are looking after. The shelter works with a group that helps homeless people, who often have pets too. If the cats are sick, Cozy Cat helps treat them, and when it has room, it will take in kittens from homeless camps, and spay and neuter the parent cats.

Cozy Cat works to help people keep their cats, rather than giving them up to a shelter, where if it is not no-kill, the cat will surely die. They provide advice, and sometimes even medicine for free, until the person can see a vet for their sick cat. If there are behavioral issues, the shelter tries to help people deal with these issues, so the cat can stay in the home. As wonderful as Cozy Cat Cottage is, it is not better than a forever home, especially if the cat is old and then shelter life is often overwhelming for the cat.

As you see, I could write a book, to sing all the praises for Cozy Cat Cottage. I will end with two final comments though. The first is that Cozy Cat Cottage is always in need of donations to keep all this work going. It takes supplies donations (find the list on the website at cozycatcottage.org), and it is always in need of monetary donations for medical expenses and other bills. When you donate money to Cozy Cat Cottage, you can be sure that 100% of that goes to care for the feline residents. There are no fancy offices, huge salaries, or such that are paid for with your donation dollars. Very few groups can say that. Cozy Cat Cottage is very transparent about how it spends its money; again something few groups can claim, and certainly is not true of national organizations who claim to care for animals. You get the greatest bang for your bucks to help cats, when you donate to Cozy Cat Cottage.

And my final comment (congratulations for reading this far), is that Cozy Cat Cottage has a very active Face Book page https://www.facebook.com/groups/cozycat/ Stop by, join, and see what goes on at the shelter.

Cozy Cat Cottage (CCC) has quite a reputation among pet lovers in and around this area, for healthy, happy, well-cared-for cats. They take in not only stray cats, but those whose owners can no longer take care of them. They rescue cats from abandoned buildings. They recently participated in building a shelter for a feral cat colony. There is staff on-hand daily to see to their health and welfare. They have a veterinarian who comes to CCC for neuter/spaying, and offer a low-cost neuter/spay program. Cozy Cat participates in local pet adoptathons at the area pet stores. (I've taken cats for adoption to Petco and Petsmart on several occasions. CCC has saved countless cats from euthanization at area humane societies. Many volunteers, myself included, have fostered kitten families until they were old enough to be available for adoption. Most touching are the kitties who are mere hours or days old and they are hand-fed and nursed when there is no mama cat to nurse them.

One of my favorite things is donating gift baskets to the silent auctions and raffles of pro-animal non-profits, and Cozy Cat Cottage is my favorite charity. They do such important work and have the nicest volunteers. Their fall fundraising event is my favorite non-profit event of the year. If I weren't so allergic to cats, I would volunteer at their shelter. I highly recommend this non-profit to volunteers, donaors, and those looking to adopt a shelter cat.

The people at Cozy Cat are dedicated to helping abused, abandoned and stray cats. Everyone pitches in to cover if there is an event or an emergency. The cats come first and their needs are seen to before anything else. There are strict procedures to follow so the healthy cats and kittens stay healthy and happy. No kitten or cat leaves Cozy Cat without first being spayed or neutered, microchip-ed and vaccinated. Over all I believe it is one of the best shelters in Ohio.

if you go to cozy cat cottage the thing you will notice most is how much the staff and volunteers really care about the cats. not just care for them, but care about them. Everyone is very friendly and don't mind stepping over you if you happen to be on the floor playing with the kittys.

As the board member who started Cozy Cat back in 1998 I saw the need for a shelter that could and would provide medical care to their residents just as we would our own pets. One that would have a clean and stable environment and would always put their interest before money and our own interest. I feel with the help of our dedicated and wonderful volunteers day in and day out we have achieved that goal. We are one of the few in our area as well as surrounding areas that deal with orphan kittens. A 24-7 job. While we have limited intake because we choose to make sure all of ours are well taken care of and know that once we send these little ones onto their hopefully forever home we can take in and they go out. We are truly blessed to have such an awesome following for such a small group. I can truly say we are a five star shelter.

Cozy Cat Cottage in Powell Ohio is an outstanding nonprofit organization. It is well organized, always clean and takes it's goal of finding a forever home for every cat seriously. To meet this goal they use a wide variety of approaches. Newborn kittens and their mothers are taken care of by volunteers both in the facility and in foster homes. There are monthly low cost spay/neuter clinics. A separate area is kept for sick cats of all ages and staffed with specially trained volunteers. All volunteers go through a training program and there are adoption counselors who help people find an appropriate cat for their home. Outreach programs and fund-raisers occur regularly and are well publicized. They also help people who can no longer care for their cat find homes for them, and rescue cats from shelters who would euthanize them. Volunteers clean the facility both morning and evening. The cats themselves have areas to roam in while still having spaces for those who need extra attention. They helped me with a stray I found and with their support I was able to bring him into my home where he currently lives the good life! They even have volunteers who can take feral cats away from dangerous situations and work tirelessly to reduce and eliminate the abandoned cats in the community while meeting high standards of care and staying a no-kill facility. It's an organization worthy of praise.

Cozy Cat is the most amazing place. It is clean and bright and has the most loving caring group of volunteers and staff. I wish there were not a need for a place like this but there is and I feel so much love just walking in the door. It is so special, I can't call it a shelter.

Cozy Cat takes the utmost care of all of their cats and, as a result, sometimes has to turn away taking in more cats. Their position is to care for all of the cats that they have and adopt them out to loving forever homes rather than overpopulate the shelter and propagate sickness and disease throughout the shelter. Their compassionate care of all their cats makes them the premier cat rescue organization in Columbus. Come in, get to know the cats and staff, and you too will be a believer. I have adopted 3 Cozy Cats over the last few years and find it rewarding giving back every chance I get.

I became a volunteer after coming in as a client interested in adopting a cat for our one lonely and bored cat. I have never been so impressed by a facility. Their dedication to the welfare and respect of every cat and kitten is ceaseless. Unlike many of the shelters, their no-kill policy does not only extend to those who "make it" to the adoption floor but to every cat that they take into their care. Their commitment to their cats is life-long. Their resources and knowledge has saved money, time, and frustration and their facebook page is active with engaged, passionate volunteers and very happy families who have adopted Cozy Cats. I am happy to say that we are one of those families and have now, two of our own cozy cats that blended in beautifully with our one lonely boy. I have found a place to volunteer my time with confidence.

Cozy Cat College is truly a loving place for people and kitties of all ages. My Family has adopted two wonderful kitties of wildly different personalities, both of which have grown up to be loving and kind. If you're looking for a wonderful addition to your family, do yourself and a favor and skip the Pet Store. CCC has everything you'll ever need.

I first went to Cozy Cat Cottage in the mid-90's when it was located in a storefront in Powell, OH. While the space was small I was overwhelmed by the homey atmosphere that the cats and kittens lived in! It was warm and cozy for sure - and it was clean and the cats were healthy and active - with lots of toys to play with, people to cuddle with and spaces to sleep in! I moved to Powell in early 2000 to help out with family - I continued to visit Cozy Cats and help whenever I could! In 1997 I had a series of unfortunate events - couldn't work, had ongoing orthopedic problems with my left foot - I got in a slump and was just going the physical therapy and drs appointments...... Cozy Cats came to mind and I spent about 8 months going 3x per week for the morning shift to clean and play with cats! I cleaned cages, scooped litter boxes, changed water bowls, vacuumed, did laundry, washed floors and anything else that needed to be done! The director of the facility, Cindy had very explicit instructions on how tasks were to be done - so volunteers would be consistent and well managed! I could see no other way an operation of this kind could be run! The cats knew the routine as well! There was no wasted volunteer time, spent "what should I do" - we knew what tasks were done and how to do them!! That was the great therapy and just what I needed! and the best part of all? - I got to play with the cats! I learned their names, their personalities, their fav toys, fav sleeping spots! I became attached to them! Their living environment was roomy and full of cat trees and kitty houses and beds and rafters and places for shy kitties to watch the activity from afar! There were places for those who wanted to be right in all the actions! For such a clouder they got along so well - the atmosphere was loving and gentle! The adoption process was strict - as it should be - prospective forever homes were carefully screened and the new parents completed questionnaires - all to guarantee the cats went to a loving safe environment. The Director also reserved the right to decline potential adoptive parents - all with great consideration for what is best for the cat. I am tickled every year when I hear that due to Halloween the black cats are not up for adoption for the weeks before and after the holiday - not everybody loves cats in this world! My dog, Buddy and I once manned the Cozy Cat booth at the annual Pup-a-Palooza festival! How fun to meet people who loved both dogs and cats! The days that I can volunteer on site are over - but Cozy Cats has so many opportunities to volunteer at community events, fund raisers - always looking to raise money to expand and add to the services provided to the awesome cats in residence at Cozy Cat Cottage. The awareness this shelter brings to the Columbus area is phenomenal!

Cozy Cat Cottage never wavers in its dedication to helping homeless kitties, no matter if they are sick, injured, blind, newborns or anything else. Their facility is always so clean and each cage is put together in a way that makes the very best use of space while giving all the comfort and respect possible to the kitties waiting and hoping for a home. Their volunteers truly care and are very loyal. This is a well-run organization which continually tries to come up with new efforts for fundraising.
Whatever they plan or organize is always creative and appealing to the public. They work tirelessly to keep operating so that they can continue their mission. I encourage everyone to visit and support Cozy Cat Cottage. They are wonderful and are so deserving of recognition and assistance.

I volunteered here with my mom and my friend a while back. Cozy Cat Cottage was so well managed and I volunteered there because I love cats as well as knowing what I was doing was time and effort well spent. My mom and I saw how well the cats were taken care of, kinda like royalty with all their toys and space. Later on we adopted a kitten from Cozy Cat Cottage, and by far was our healthiest cat coming into the house(past were strays, one still recovering from a broken leg which was also underweight, and one that came home with herpes and ear mites which we had to treat).

Cozy Cat Cottage is an amazing home for wonderful cats and kittens. All the cats are clean, healthy and affectionate thanks to the staff and volunteers at this shelter. I have only volunteered for a few hours a week for several weeks, and I find great joy when I am surrounded by these adorable animals. While most of the cats are allowed to roam free, several are kept in large enclosures until they become acclamated to the environment. The facility is immaculate and the staff and volunteers truly love what they do. Please come visit us, meet the cats and maybe even take one home with you. You too will find great joy with one of these loving companions.

Cozy Cat Cottage is run by amazing directors and volunteers, and you can really feel how passionate they are about the work they do. I volunteered with Cozy Cat for three and a half years, and I enjoyed working with all of the people as much as I enjoyed working with the cats. Everyone gave the cats the best care possible and did our best to place the right cat with the right family. Unfortunately we had to move out of the area, otherwise I would still love to be volunteering with this awesome organization. Plus, two of our furbabies came from Cozy Cat!

This is the cleanest cat shelter I have ever been in. At Cozy Cat Cottage the needs of the cats always come first. In addition to helping stray and abandoned cats, this group helps citizens with trap, neuter, release projects, donations of food and supplies to care for feral colonies and low-cost spay/neuter assistance. The volunteers work their tails off to keep the shelter in top-notch condition and ensure that the feline residents want for nothing. If you like spending time with cats, this is a great place to do it.
