Story
It’s with heavy hearts that we’ve decided to rehome our sweet cat, Kaia. She’s a 7yo, American Shorthair with the most captivating personality. She’s the ultimate snuggler and knows how to steal the spotlight with her strong opinions—she’s definitely the boss, even over our 130-pound dog! Kaia does best in a calm home. She loves companionship and is most at peace when she has company. She has a newfound jealousy toward our 10yo daughter and has started marking our 10yo’s bed. We’ve tried everything recommended by our vet but haven’t been able to resolve the behavior. This decision hasn’t come easily, but we believe Kaia will bring so much joy and love to the right family. To help with her transition, we will include: • Her Tidy Cats pellet system litter box with bags of pellets • Her food and water bowls • A container of her food • Her cat bed • Her cat carrier We are asking for a small rehoming fee of $50, but are happy to negotiate to ensure she finds the perfect home.

Story
We adopted Nugget after the death of our 16 year old cat last year. Nugget was 10 weeks old when we adopted her from Dumb Friends League in August. We have taken on more than we can handle - emotionally our kids are still attached to our cat that passed away. While we were home for many weeks following adopting Nugget, we are away so much for the next year, we feel it is unfair for the kitten. She still loves to play and be around people.

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
Mazey is a 6 year old (born late 2018) all black female cat. She lives with 2 dogs and four humans and is 100% indoors. She likes to snuggle on the laps in the evening and loves her hinney scratched. She is also a big fan of those wire brushes gently gliding over her back and head. She is not a fan of getting her nails clipped and can get over stimulated when loved on too much. We have a couple of members of our family that are allergic to cats with one of them being a new allergy. We are looking to find her a new home where she can lay in the sun during the day and get love at night.

Story
Kiki was adopted by us as a kitten in 2019. As our family has grown and we adopted a dog and had a baby she has not adjusted well and is spending most every day in her cat perch regardless of how much we try to coax her out. She does great with our other cat but definitely not with dogs.

Story
This sweet girl is almost 2. She was a kitten from a litter of 2 from a stray in our area. She stayed close to our home growing up. We fed her and her mate but her mate disappeared. She’s had 2 litters of kittens in a very short time. For both litters, we trapped Mommy Girl and kittens and raised the kittens until we adopted them all out. Mommy Girl started out totally feral so it’s taken time to get her to this point. Over time she has become friendly with me and loves to get attention and be pet. She likes company in the room with her. She’s becoming more social every day. Unfortunately I cannot keep her because I have 3 older female cats that are not accepting her into my home. It’s NOT Mommy Girl’s fault. My cats are total brats and set in their ways so are mean to MG. She will thrive in a loving environment with a single person (probably best a female) seeking a pet companion. She will probably welcome a younger cat companion if they aren’t mean to her like mine.

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.

Story
Sirus is a young, dashing gentleman with a deep black coat so shiny and soft it’s like petting silk. His copper eyes complete his striking appearance. If you've ever wanted a black panther, there's no better fit. Even his toe beans are a deep black color. At under a year old, he’s the perfect mix of playful kitten energy and sweet affection. He’s always up for a round of wand toy chases or a snuggle session on your lap! This social boy loves other animals and would thrive in a home with a cat-friendly feline. He also does quite well with the canine folk. While he can sometimes be nervous around strangers at first, Sirus has a secret kryptonite—a squeeze treat will have him purring and making friends in no time. Sirus would do well in a home with calmer, older kids who can appreciate his friendly nature. Whether he’s playing, cuddling, or just being his charming self, Sirus is ready to bring joy and love to his forever family.

Story
They should be kept together, as they are very close, reliant and dependent on each other. They are 3 1/2 year old brothers (DOB 9/9/2020), all black except for Salem (the chonky one), who has a little white spot on his chest. They are fixed, micro-chipped and litter box trained. They are picky eaters but ONLY because they eat dry cat food and no expensive or canned stuff. They don't like people food (even bacon!) and only like a certain brand of treats that I've gotten them (can't remember the name right now). They are very leery of people, kids, cats and dogs, but I think they would be okay if they were around them more. They do like their peace and quiet, though. They have been indoors since birth, as we live in an area with a lot of wild animals and are next to a buy street. We do have to move out of our house before July 1st and will be, basically, homeless until we find a house, so they absolutely cannot stay with us.
