Story
Boo is a 2 year old cat that has a lot of love to give. He’s just been to the vet and got the all clear that he’s in perfect health. He’s wary of dogs and does well with cats if they’re male or a dominant female and does well with kids if they don’t climb or pull on him. He’s been an important part of our family but after welcoming our second son into the home it became clear he was stressed out with all the young kids. He does well with both men and women

Lilly is a very pretty kitty, mostly white, calico markings on her tail and a gray spot on her forehead. She has the most beautiful blue eyes. She has lived with kids and dogs, but may not prefer them unless they are very well behaved. She can be picky about her kitty friends, but does seem to enjoy kitty company (not sure if she gets along with males better, or just is not a fan of mean girls.) Affectionate, sweet and low key.

Story
Who are our Working Cats? Some cats are not social enough to live as indoor pets, and prefer an independent lifestyle. These cats have experience living outdoors and are proficient mousers. Since these kitties are happier and more successful outdoors, we put them to work in homes, farms, and businesses where they can do what they do best. All our blue collar kitties are spayed/neutered, FIV/FeLV negative, ear tipped, and fully vaccinated. Why hire a Working Cat? By hiring a blue collar kitty, you can avoid using toxic pesticides, save money on a pest control service, and provide a home to a cat in need. Adoption fees are waived for our Working Cats. Cats are also more effective than other methods of pest control because they act as a deterrent!If you are interested in adopting a Working Cat, please visit the shelter in person to start the process.

Story
Hi, my name is Elaine, and I’m a black kitten born on 08/29/24 with my siblings. I’m the best of both worlds: playful and curious, yet also a real social snuggle bug. I love my toy mice, the "Meow Mischief," and anything that moves. I also love being picked up, and I purr loudly whenever I’m hanging out with my human foster mom!

Story
Harry (gray/blue) and Marv (white/gray) are 3 year old littermates and a bonded pair. We adopted the brothers in 2022 from Almost Home. They are excellent with the litter. Both boys are good with our baby, though Harold keeps his distance more and walks away when he doesn’t want the attention. Marvin is more social and enjoys the attention our toddler gives him. Both get along well with our dog, and Harold is especially fond of cuddling and even cleaning our pup. Marvin enjoys playing and snuggling often. He is usually the first to explore new smells and items and is more social of the two. Harold enjoys a simple life: lounging most of the day, living for treats, and first to greet us when we come home. We are expanding our family and unable to provide these two boys the attention and enrichment they deserve. We think they’d do best in a home with older children (if any) who can respect their feline boundaries. We hope to find them a good, loving forever home.

Story
Meet Caliente ("Calli"), a 2-year-old gray tabby with unique specks of orange that highlight her beautiful coat. This sweet girl arrived in our care as a dedicated mom to her four kittens. We don't know much about this family's past but they were covered in ticks and Calli was far too skinny, and very protective of her babies. Now that she's healthy and her mothering days are behind her, she deseves to find her forever home.  Calli is a talkative kitty who loves to engage in conversation, especially if it leads to her favorite neck scratches! She’s independent yet affectionate, and she’s ready to live her best life by your side - all she really wants it to cuddle with her people! She's the perfect sidekick for someone who works from home.  Calli is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. She is initially nervous around dogs but she'd be okay in a home with one if she's given time and space to warm up to the idea. If you’re looking for a companion with personality and charm, please fill out an application and go meet her at Petsmart Highlands Ranch! ##2175933##

Story
Joy gave birth to her 7 kittens in our home so we’ve had a lot of time to get to know her.  She is a kind, caring, and loving cat.  She has been a wonderful mother to her kittens (even sneaking them the treats we give to just her!), but is ready for some attention focused just on her.  Joy loves drinking from faucets, enjoying treats, and sleeping on high perches.  She has been around other cats and dogs and seems to get along well with them.  She is unusually accepting of aggressive love from younger children and permits herself to be held, pulled on, awkwardly picked up, and generally adored by anyone.  She would be an outstanding addition to any home but would love one where she will get lots of attention.  ##2175923##

Story
Duchess' Story: Duchess was dumped when her previous owners discovered she was pregnant. She lived on the streets for 3 years but somehow kept her sweet nature. She delivered that 1st litter two years ago and two more in 2024 (February & August). We were able to trap/rehab the February litter so they could be adopted, and the summer litter was born in-house. Our intent was to keep Duchess and give her a good home. She certainly deserves it. However, as a result of her time on the streets, she does not do well with dogs, and we have two. Duchess has a rear leg that has been broken at some point in her life and it has healed but was never properly set. She has a limp but has adjusted and does well. She is healthy, social and very loving. The last of her babies have been adopted and she just needs a hero with a home where she'll be loved and cared for. Won't you consider being her hero?

Story
Oscar is a really great cat, he is just young. He requires a lot of attention and playtime and I cannot provide that for him at this time. He gets along great with our 2 year old cat & 4 year old dog (he has been around them since he was about a month old). Oscar is a very vocal cat who loves food and cuddles. We have a 1 year old who does come around him and pets him sometimes, he’s cool with it as long as his hair and tail doesn’t get tugged on. Oscar needs to go to a really good, loving, attentive home that will give him the best life possible. He really deserves it.
