KITTEN SHOWER OPEN HOUSE
and Sidewalk & Bake Sale

Saturday – June 17, 2023 | 12 noon – 4 pm
Colony Cats Adoption Center
2740 Festival Lane, Dublin

Oh baby, it's kitten season again...help us prepare for our furry bundles of joy and join us for our Kitten Shower Open House – we'll have a Sidewalk Sale, a Bake Sale, fun games, a raffle, and you can meet our adoptable kittens and cats!

Help support our efforts by bringing a "shower" gift, or by making a monetary donation to help with vetting costs for our bundles of joy. Click here to download our Kitten Shower invitation flyer – it has all the event details, including items on our kitten shower wish list. You can also check out our Amazon Kitten Shower Wish List for more shower gift ideas, and to easily donate needed items. We hope to see you at the shower! With your help we can give these babies a great start.

Kitten Season is the unofficial term for cat mating season (starts in spring, peaks during late spring/early summer, and ends in fall). Rescues become inundated with an overwhelming number of homeless kittens. Help us collect supplies to care for the hundreds of kittens that will pass through our doors this year!

June Volunteer of the Month:
KELSI WITTUM

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 June Volunteer of the Month – Kelsi Wittum. One of the things she likes best about volunteering with Colony Cats is getting to know the cats and visitors, and helping to find the perfect match.

Kelsi's advice for new Colony Cats volunteers is to jump right in – there are a wide variety of opportunities to get involved and make a difference in the lives of the cats and community in which we work. Click here to read more and learn about Kelsi.

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.
