Story
Hi there! My name is Baloo, and I’m a 3-month-old bundle of joy with a fluffy tail and eyes full of wonder. I’m the perfect mix of playful and sweet—always ready for a game of chase or pounce, but equally eager for snuggles when playtime’s done. I love to explore every nook and cranny, turning the simplest toy into my new favorite adventure. My gentle purrs fill the room as soon as I'm cradled in loving arms because, deep down, I’m a soft-hearted little guy who thrives on cuddles and affection. Notes from Foster Mom: "Baloo is truly special. His sweet disposition makes him a joy to have around, and his playful antics bring endless smiles. He’s always quick to please and loves being close to people, making him the perfect companion. Whether he’s chasing a feather or curling up on my lap for a nap, Baloo’s warm personality shines through. He will steal your heart in no time."

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
My cat, a beautiful gray feline with stunning green eyes, has been a loyal and loving companion to me for quite some time. However, due to recent changes in my schedule and commitments, I find myself struggling to dedicate the time and attention that he deserves. It breaks my heart to admit that I am unable to provide him with the care and affection that he needs to thrive. With a heavy heart a matter that has been weighing on my mind for some time now. As much as it pains me to say this, I have come to the difficult decision to seek a new home for my beloved cat. I want to ensure that my cat is placed in a loving and nurturing environment where he will be cherished and cared for the way he deserves. I believe that finding a new home where he will receive the love and attention he needs is in his best interest, and hoping that someone may be able to assist me in this difficult process and love him. I am hopeful to find him a loving and caring home.

Story
Hello! My name is Moxxie! I was actually found as a stray in the Denver metro area when I followed a nice lady home one day. Let me tell you a little bit about myself! I can be affectionate but also love my independence. I love sunning myself in the window. I would be just fine as the only cat in the house as I'm scared of the other cats here, even the kittens. I am litterbox trained. I'm ready to find my furever home!  ##2122072##

Story
Since Summer, Sox had been visiting a kind neighbor to eat as an unneutered, very skinny stray. He was friendly, let her pet him and seemed he might not want to be living outside so she brought him in and he's doing well! Sox loves to be held and get lots of pets. He uses the litter box great. Sox is frisky at night and loves to play with his rescuers before bed. He can also be very vocal at night- perhpaps still talking to his street friends while he continues to acclimate to the indoors. Sox is still learning gentle play so would likely not be suitable with children quite yet. He is currently quarantined from the other felines in the house so we're not yet sure on how he gets along with his own kind, but he loves the dog he is living with! Sox is looking for his furever home, or at least a new foster, after 10/26/2024 when he's scheduled to be neutered, vaccinated, chipped and tested. ##2208286##

Story
Naomi is a beautiful 11-year-old cat who has recently experienced a difficult loss. Her sister, who she was very close to, passed away, and since then, Naomi has been feeling a bit down. While she shares her home with a dog, they haven’t quite bonded, and it has limited her ability to get the exercise, playtime, and attention she needs. Naomi thrives on affection and enjoys playful moments, but the presence of my dog prevents her from fully being herself. She would flourish in a quiet, dog-free home where she can be the center of attention, getting all the love and care she deserves. If you’re looking for a loving and gentle companion who will bring warmth and joy to your life, Naomi is ready to find her new forever home. Could you be the one to help Naomi heal and rediscover her happiness?
