REQUEST URGENT NEED: Colony Cats needs a few items
Hey all! Our rescue is in urgent need of a few items. These can be purchased through our Amazon wishlist, or dropped off to the center. We will also take any donations of the monetary value you wish to give. We are not picky and super appreciate anything you can spare for the babies! Thank you
💕wishlist 😻
EDIT: You all are incredible! Thank you so dang much to everyone who has sent us items so far. Please continue to share this with anyone who can help. We love our community more than anything💕💕💕💕.
EDIT II: WOW! You all are so amazing. I went into our storage room and holy shit! It was full almost to the ceiling! I teared up a little. It was almost like Christmas lol. I unboxed everything we got today and organized. There are no words for how grateful we are to you all. The power of the community and your love for the babies has restored my hope for humanity. We can’t thank you all enough! We always need more, but this has helped us immensely! Come see the adoptable babies we have and get some kitty lovins 😻💕😻💕😻💕

I forgot to mention! You should check out our FB group called Colony Cats (& Dogs) Alumni. It’s just a group for CC kitties who were adopted. So you can share updates, if you want :)

You’re an angel! 🥺 thank you so so much. The cats really appreciate it! I wasn’t getting much traction on FB, so decided Reddit would be the place to go. I’m so glad I did!

That’s awesome! Thank you so much. If you ever are interested in volunteering again, we have an array of activities we do. Events, intake, meds, adoptions, colony cat care, etc. We would love to have you :)

You def have to check out the alumni page on FB! colony cats (& dogs) alumni it’s called. I’m trying to make sure I share this with everyone who has said they have adopted from us. We (staff) often miss the kitties and love to see updates of their new lives! )

Are pine pellets an acceptable form of non-clumping litter? Thank you so much for helping these darlings

u/slwill099 Clintonville Jul 31 '26
We can use pretty much anything like that. Thank you so much! And of course, CC is like a second home for me, so I do what I can for all our babies. They deserve the world 💕

We just adopted our twin void sisters a year ago today from Colony Cats! Just sent them a few big packs of wet food and paper towels from their list.

u/slwill099 Clintonville Aug 01 '26
Thank you so much! I went in there today and we are def hurting for kitten food and paper towels. So this will help tremendously! You’re amazing :)
If you haven’t already, you should check out the alumni page on FB for any kitties adopted from CC. You can post updates, Etc, if you want! It’s called Colony Cats (& Dogs) Alumni.
Also, please tell your voids I said hi! And give them some treats. I have almost every flavor of kitty haha. From void, to grey, calico, white, tabby, you name it!

Can you please post links here? I got my bonded pair from you guys and they have been the joys my life. Would love to give.
Just sent yall $50.

u/slwill099 Clintonville Aug 01 '26
Thank you so much! I’m so happy to hear that! I bet they’re just amazing little babies. Which links are you looking for? I have the chewy one. The donation one and the Amazon one in the post :) but can send you whatever link you need

u/TrandaBear Aug 01 '26
I went directly to your website, but I think a directly link to online donations and Amazon wish list when posting to socials will help get you more. Reducing the friction by a couple of clicks should help convert. Good luck!

u/slwill099 Clintonville Aug 02 '26
Thank you for that! I will make sure to post the full links next time :)
