March Volunteer of the Month:
CARA PHILLIPS

We love our volunteers! They give so much to help us, so we're giving them a big "shout-out" with our Volunteer of the Month feature.

Introducing our March Volunteer of the Month – Cara Phillips. The thing she likes best about fostering for us is how supportive and compassionate Colony Cats is towards our volunteers and potential adopters. Knowing she has support for anything she or the cats may need makes everything much easier.

Cara's advice for new Colony Cats fosters is that sometimes fostering can be an emotional roller coaster, but you don't need to face it alone – if you feel you are in over your head, reach out to fellow volunteers for support. Click here to read more and learn about Cara.

HIRE OUR BARNYARD GUARDIANS
TO WORK FOR YOU!

Our Barnyard Guardians are all-natural, pesticide-free, rodent controllers. Whether you have a barn, warehouse, brewery, horse farm, grainery, etc., these beautiful healthy cats are pros at keeping pesty critters from moving in.

We provide spayed/neutered, rabies vaccinated, feral/semi-feral cats. (We do ask that you take two for bonding.) You provide shelter, daily food/water (cats can't live on mice alone), and veterinary care as needed. Most importantly you provide a second chance at life for a pair of homeless cats who may have had a less fortunate future.

Click Here to download our Barn Cats Information Flyer for more details. Print it out and share it with someone you know who might benefit from these helpers. If you have any questions, or are interested in barn cats call 614-570-0471 – leave a message and we will contact you – or click here to email.

PREVENT MORE. FIX AT MONTH FOUR.
Spay and Neuter at 4-Months Old


Cats and dogs can get pregnant much sooner than you think. 50% of all pets born are accidents. Spay or neuter your pet at four months old to help prevent those accidents and save millions from being killed in shelters each year. Click here to read an Alley Cat Allies article on why spay and neuter at 4 months old is so important. Click here for a great article from Best Friends Animal Society about the importance of spay and neuter.


Colony Cats is excited to announce that we are a network partner of Best Friends Animal Society. Best Friends believes that collaboration with local pet shelters and animal rescue organizations – the people who know their communities best – is key to ending the killing in America’s shelters.
