Colin's Story

This handsome boy came from the trailer park. He belonged to a hoarder that didn't take care of his cats. He began showing up at one of the feeding stations but was too shy to eat with the other cats. Over time, he built up the confidence and became part of that colony. When we were told we could no longer feed the community cats, we brought him back to our office. Initially he was shy in his condo but in a couple of weeks he started coming out and now is with the general population. He really likes high places and hangs out on a top shelf. Colin was adopted in the spring but returned one week later because the adopter experienced a life changing medical condition and he could no longer care for Colin. He was very upset when he was returned and it was heartbreaking. The adopter said he was so well behaved and loving and she was just as shattered returning him. He wears a yellow collar to match his big, beautiful eyes. He answers to his name Colin, is about three years old and just beautiful. When he looks at you, he melts your heart. He is the sweetest, most harmless love you could meet. If interested, please email Mirna at Mirnabowman.cdc@gmail.com 614-471-9000 Must be 24 or older. Adoptions to Central Ohio homes only. All dogs and cats in the home must be spayed/neutered. Adoption Fee $100.00.

If you've never owned a pet, part of our adoption process requires that you call several vet offices to compare services, prices, and availability. Questions to ask include: How many doctors are at your practice? Can I request to see a specific Vet or would I be scheduled with first available? What are your hours? How much is: annual exam, heartworm test & tablets, an x-ray, vaccines, a non-emergency office call? Do you recommend vaccines every year or every three years? (every 3 yrs as suggested by the AVMA) The pooch that visits your home will go back home with us to allow your family to discuss and ensure he/she is a good fit for your home. There is an adoption agreement and adoption fees are as follows: $300 for Adult Dogs (6yrs & younger) $200 for Senior Dogs (7 yrs and older) $80 for Cats All pets are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm tested (dogs), fiv/leukemia tested (cats), & micro-chipped.
