Story
Hello there! My name is Baby Doe. I'm a 10-year-old spayed female white patch Tabby. I have 4 white mittens and great tabby markings. I've been at Safe Place a while now but am still hoping for a home soon. I can be a bit shy at first, but I warm up quickly and am an absolute sweetheart. I was named after a famous lady named Baby Doe Tabor. I'm an independent gal but love playing with the laser pointer and hanging out in a sunny window. I'm not a huge lap cat but once I know the lay of the land, I am near by for attention. I enjoy climbing up on cat trees or wherever I can find a place to go high too. I prefer to be the only cat. I'm ok with older children but I've not been around dogs. My $50 adoption fee covers everything too! visit www.safeplacepets.org for more info and to complete an application.

Story
Hi I'm Dixie, a 17-year-old spayed DSH tabby female. I arrived at Safe Place several months ago after my owner died alone in her house. Unfortunately, I was left by myself for days at a time in a crate while the family commuted back and forth from another state to take care of necessary arrangements. This caused me to be quite afraid of people. The folks at Safe Place rescued me and after several months of kindness, patience and attention, I leaned to trust and feel safe again. I would do best in a low activity home without other dogs or cats. My favorite things include being brushed with the rubber brush, chasing a laser pointer, and sitting nicely next to you while you give me treats. I'm ready to find another human to be pals with. I'm an older gal but have recent vet visits and my test results show I'm in good shape for my age. Could you be the one to give me love and another home? My $50 adoption fee includes vaccinations, recent vet check, recent blood tests, and a microchip. Come meet me today. www.safeplacepets.org

Story
If you are looking for a sweet, gentle, older cat, Fancy Pants (or just Fancy) is waiting to meet you.  She is affectionate with familiar people but can be timid when presented with strange people, sudden noises, or movements, and in changing or unfamiliar situations.  Once she has acclimated, she approaches a familiar person readily, chirps, rubs around feet and legs (especially shoes), and purrs. She enjoys and invites being petted but isn`t pushy.  She hasn`t shown any indication that she aspires to be a lap cat, and she appears to be uncomfortable with other cats.  Whether she is comfortable with any other pets is unknown.  She would probably do best in a quiet, mature household as an only pet where her boundaries are respected.If you`re interested in learning more about Fancy or setting up a meeting, please contact Fancy`s foster mom, Anne, at akeiley2000@yahoo.com or 719-271-6746. Please allow up to 24 hours for Anne to get back to you.

Story
***Staff thinks I will be ready by early January. My foster family says I`m still developing my personality. *** I am not currently at the shelter because I`m growing big and strong in a foster home! You can sign up to pre-adopt me by placing a $50 choice hold. This is a non-refundable fee that does not go towards my adoption fee, but it does give you the first opportunity to adopt me. Shelter staff will contact you when I’m ready to go home with my new family! To place a choice hold, you can either come into the shelter or call us at 719-473-1741; you may wait to speak with a customer service representative or leave a voicemail. Choice holds are placed on a first-come, first-serve basis and only one choice hold can be placed on an animal. Once I am old enough to go home, I will have to be adopted at the shelter without a visit. Unfortunately, we aren’t able to visit while I’m in the foster home as it’s a lot of stress on me to be transported back and forth to the shelter for visits, which makes me more susceptible to getting sick. We want to be healthy for our new life together!

Story
Hi world, I’m Sunny and I’m here to make sure your bright days are here! I’m that rare jewel, a female orange tabby lady. I was rescued by a kind Samaritan during our last big snowstorm when I was abandoned outside. First things first, you need to know that I’m all the cat you’ll need, so I’ll need to be your One & Only. I’m sure that once you meet me, you’ll find that no one can compete with Smilin’ Sunny anyway! Also, a little reassurance is always nice especially for a survivor with abandonment fears. At only about 4 years old, I’m a very active little lady, always ready for playtime. I like just about any kitty wand, including the fleece snake I can romp around, chasing across the room. I love to scratch on vertical carpeted scratchers, so will be a good kitty once I have one of my own. Once playtime is done, I’m an affectionate lady who’s happy to follow you around like a good little Kitty Admin, then settle down to trade purrs for pets. Just make sure to stop once I’ve had enough so I don’t get overstimulated and have to tell you to stop with a love bite. It was very scary for me trying to survive outside, so I’ll do best in a home with older children and no dogs, along with no other cats. I can be adopted for $100 which includes my spay, vaccinations, microchip, food and litter starter kit, and a free well-kitty checkup to help you get started. I’m in a loving foster home now, so please call the Haven to arrange a time to come meet me! You can tap here to fill out an Adoption Application https://happycatshaven.org/adoption-application/. Someone should get back to you during our adoption hours Wednesday – Sunday by 5 pm . If you need to contact someone more quickly, please call 719-362-4600 and we’ll do our best to get back to you within 48 hours.

Well hello, I'm Sissy! I'm a sleek and shiny little black panther, ready to pounce and steal your heart. I came here from another shelter after I was found abandoned outside. I'm so ready to find my family again! At about 4 years old, I'm in the prime of life and am curious and love to investigate new things. I'll probably make a great little Kitty Admin for you around the house, ready to supervise all your activities and help wherever I can! Like any young cat, I love my playtime! Smaller kitty wands like the Cat Dancer are my favorite, as long as you're on the other end of it. I'm not a fan of other cats as I get very nervous around them, so would really love to be your One and Only sweetheart. I will probably do well with just about anyone in your human family. I can be adopted for $100 which includes my spay, vaccinations, microchip, food and litter starter kit, and a free well-kitty checkup to help you get started.

My wife and I rescued these sisters from "Look what the cat brought in" at Colorado Springs. We got them at around 7 months old, they are now 3 years. My wife passed away in February 2024. I have decided to do a lot of travelling in 2025 and feel it would be unfair to leave my girls with just a sitter. They are wonderful cats! They have claws but have never destroyed anything except their scratching post! I need them to go together since they are siblings and have always been side by side.

Story
Meet Tessa: The Perfect Blend of Bengal Boldness and Tabby Sweetness! Tessa is a stunning 3-year-old Bengal/tabby mix who is ready to find her forever home. From her Bengal side, she brings bold curiosity, playful energy, and a love for exploring her surroundings. Her sweet, loyal and affectionate nature are her tabby personality traits. This sweet yet sassy girl adores being petted and cuddled, though she can get overstimulated and will let you know when she’s had enough! Playtime is her absolute favorite, and she’s always ready to pounce, chase, or bat at toys (especially when you’re playing with her). When she’s not exploring or playing, her soft meows will let you know she’s ready for attention. In her previous home, Tessa experienced a lot of uncertainty and instability due to her previous owner’s health challenges and household changes, including young grandchildren who didn’t know how to interact with cats. Now in a calm, stable environment with her foster mom, she’s thriving and showing off her true personality. What Tessa Needs in a Forever Home: • A calm and loving home where she’s the center of attention. • Someone who’s home often to shower her with affection and playtime. An adopter who is experienced with a Bengal’s energetic personality would be best! • A home without other cats (she wants to be your one and only!). • A stress-free, kid-free environment where she can truly shine. • While she previously lived with a small dog, her playstyle could be a bit too enthusiastic, so she would be best as your one and only furry friend. Tessa is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped and ready for her forever home. her adoption fee is $125. If you’re searching for a companion with a Bengal’s adventurous spirit mixed with a tabby’s loyal heart, Tessa could be your perfect match. Submit your application today to add a little extra joy to your home! https://www.fromforgottentoforever.com/catadoptionapplication/

Story
My pet is a rescue cat, her name is Monkae (Monk-Aye) Monkae has a very bubbly and eccentric personality. Very affectionate and needy as well. She constantly follows me around the house and at any interval that you take a seat, rest, or crouch down. She will immediately demand pets or for you to play. When you come home from work she will come up to you and welcome you home with love and demands for pets! Aside from all of that, Monkae does well with other cats. But hasn't had much interaction with dogs. So I'm unaware how she may handle them. She is skittish at first when meeting new people. But once she bonds with you she'll be your best friend/needy pet for a lifetime!
