Tortoiseshell and Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

DOB:9/30/2025

Reese is a sweet, playful and active kitten. She loves watching all the activity outside her window. Reese was born with a neurological condition that may be cerebellar hypoplasia but is otherwise healthy. She sometimes takes a tumble but gets right up and going again. Reese will do best in a home with another cat or kitten playmate.

**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, 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.**

Kitten Adoption Policy:

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.

If you’re looking to adopt just one kitten, please ask us about kittens who came to us as singles and are comfortable being the only cat.
