My name is Calvin!

Age: 2 years
Weight: 8.5 pounds
Dogs? Possibly, I do not have a known history.
Cats? Possibly, I do not have a known history.
Kids? Older kids or teenagers would probably be the best fit for me. I like predictable, low pressure interactions.

Hello! I’m Calvin, a shy but lovable kitty with a heart of gold. I may be reserved at first, but once I warm up to you, get ready for endless cuddles and gentle purrs! For me, treat time is a highlight—freeze-dried chicken is the best! Exploring cozy hideouts and enjoying soothing tunes makes me happy, and I can’t resist delicious kibble or wet food at meal time.

I treasure cuddly companionship with a warm, understanding friend. With my big, curious eyes and a knack for finding the coziest napping spots, I’m just here to share my sweet affection. Let’s make some purr-fect memories together!

If interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website by following https://www.ark-valley.org/adoption-matchmaker-application/. We recommend calling the shelter at 719-395-2737 after you submit your application to ensure that we have received it. You can also give us a call if you have any questions or would like to learn more about a specific animal. Walk-ins are welcome during our open hours Monday-Saturday 12-5pm, although an adoptable animal may be in a foster home instead of at the shelter, so we also recommend calling us prior to driving to the shelter to confirm the pet`s current location. If you prefer emailing instead, you can reach our staff at to info@ark-valley.org, however, time sensitive matters would be addressed quicker via phone.

Note: We do not DNA test our animals to determine breeds. The listed breed(s) are either an educated guess from staff based on physical characteristics, or from information given by their previous home.
