About Columbus

We are pleased to announce that Columbus was adopted on Jan. 10, 2026
It can be tough watching our residents wait so patiently for their perfect people to find them, but moments like this remind us that patience truly pays off. Columbus, an affectionate boy who loves the company of other cats, has always had a sensitive side. His gentle nature made it challenging for him to feel comfortable in busy, high‑energy homes. But along came some special humans who saw past his initial shyness and recognized the sweet, snuggly soul beneath. We’re overjoyed knowing Columbus will soon be settling in with his new feline brother and his kind, forever family!
Hi there, I'm Columbus! I was brought into the BVSPCA with a bunch of my feline buddies from a property where we were amongst many other cats. At that time, I'd had very little human interaction, so I was naturally skittish and cautious. After several months at the shelter, I was adopted out, but unfortunately, I'm back at the shelter. We learned that although I've become a sweet and snuggly boy (I was once a very timid kitty!), loud noises can still startle me, so a quieter home might be best for me. Although I've taken coming back to the shelter in stride and was quick to cozy up with my feline friends, I discovered how nice it was to live in a home and would love another chance! I'm super sweet, super snuggly, and feel ready to find my forever home!

Dog-friendly: Untested, would likely prefer a home without, or with a calm cat-savvy dog
Cat-friendly: I LOVE other cats, and in fact would likely do best in a home with a confident feline friend who can help me feel safe
Kid-friendly: Patient older kids recommended due to shy nature
Do I Need Special Care?: No
