My name is Charcoal!

Age: 6 years old
Cats? Possibly, I have no history with cats!
Dogs? Possibly, I have no history with dogs!
Kids? Possibly, I have no history with children and have a calm temperament so I may get overstimulated around loud noises.

About Me: Hi I`m Charcoal! I came to the shelter as a stray and am ready to find my forever home! I love to spend my day lounging around the cat room, watching interactive cat tv, and snuggling up next to staff! Stop by the shelter today to meet me!

**Available for pre-adoption only. Will be ready to go home after spay/neuter or other medical procedure is completed.**

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.
