Raising funds for the new cat adoption center recently opened by Colony Cats in Columbus, Ohio.

Colony Cats is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization whose primary mission is to address cat overpopulation in central Ohio through public awareness and spay/neuter efforts. Since 2002, the organization has facilitated spay or neuter of over 6,324 animals. They also have a network of foster homes for friendly, adoptable cats and kittens that have been rescued (as well as dogs and puppies that are encountered while assisting cats).

Colony Cats recently opened an innovative, contemporary cat adoption center in Columbus, Ohio. This adoption center is very unique! Instead of being in a free-standing building, the center is conveniently located in a storefront at a busy shopping center -- what a great way to introduce the cats to potential adopters! The design of the facility is also quite special. Cats and kittens are not in cages, but rather in one of five open "living rooms" that provide open views and plenty of space for the cats to mingle with visitors. Potential adopters can visit the cats in the living rooms or take them into a private adoption room. The center offers a library with educational materials to help adopters fully understand cats and cat behavior, ideally reducing the risk of returns.

Please help us raise funds for this wonderful organization and thier new adoption center!

SPECIAL GIVEAWAY!

If you make a donation to Colony Cats through GiveForward, no matter what the amount, you will be entered into a drawing to win a pair of Curve perches from Urban Pet Haus. The drawing will take place on December 1 and the winner will be notified via GiveForward.

This fundraiser is being sponsored by Urban Pet Haus and Moderncat.net.
