Kittens cannot be adopted as a solo pet, they must either go home with another kitten or join a home that already has a young, playful cat. If there are no other pets in the household, adoption of two littermates is required. Kittens thrive with a feline companion to help them learn, play, and develop healthy social skills.

Kitten (1 year) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 12 mi from Columbus

Read more about Jason

Meet Jason — three legs and a whole lot of love!
Jason came into rescue with a leg injury that required amputation, but being a tripod hasn’t slowed this sweet boy down. He’s enjoying the good life, and his favorite part is being close to his people.
This affectionate boy loves to lie beside you—or right on you! He enjoys being brushed and is always happy to spend time together. If you’re looking for a devoted companion, Jason is ready to be your little shadow.
His other great love is food! We suspect meals weren’t always easy to find during his days on the streets. Now, mealtime is a highlight of his day.
A few thoughtful touches will help Jason feel comfortable in his forever home: an elevated food dish, an uncovered litter box, and an ottoman or sturdy step to help him reach the couch, chair, or bed for snuggles. He also enjoys toys he can play with while sitting, including hanging toys he can reach with his front paw and a ball toy to keep him entertained.
Jason has so much love to give. He’s ready for a home where he can enjoy good meals, cozy naps, and a special person to curl up with.

This cat is currently in a foster home and arrangements can be made for a meeting once you have applied with us. All cats are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and tested for FIV/FeLV. If interested in adopting me, please fill out an online adoption application at https://colonycats.org/adoption_app.html to expedite the process. Due to the large number of inquiries received, we are unable to respond to emails quickly.

Adopting a kitten in Columbus

Kittens usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're eating on their own and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.

Think about adopting two. Kittens raised together play with each other instead of your ankles and furniture, and many rescues charge less for a pair.

Kittens need more of your time than grown cats: several small meals a day, plenty of play, and a home with cords and small objects tidied away.
