Story
Hello there, I`m Lily. My days are filled with gentle play and cozy cuddles. I`m a bit shy, but once I get to know you, I`ll be your best friend. I love a good game of chase the feather, but my favorite thing is curling up in a warm lap. I`m a sweet soul, looking for a quiet, mature home where I can relax and feel safe. I may take a little time to come out of my shell, but I promise, I`m worth the wait. Adopt me, and let`s create a forever bond filled with love and companionship.

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!

Story
Shadow was found as a stray in Austin, Texas in 2014 and we suspect she was about 1yo at the time, making her about 11yo now. She made the move with us to Colorado Springs in 2019. She has been healthy the whole time and had her shots in TX prior to leaving. She has been with my mother for the last 3 years, but mom is moving to Georgia and can not take her. Shadow and dogs don't mix well (she hides mostly) and so we need to find her a forever home with someone who loves a cat in their lap :). Shadow loves her belly rubs. For the last few years she has been an indoor cat, but is capable of venturing outside. She is not an aggressive cat, although she definitely is independent at times. We would love for her to have space to roam around the house and attention throughout the day. She would be purrfect for a retired senior like herself. Preferred adoption within Colorado Springs, but will bring her to the right applicant. All current supplies and food shared too.

Story
Maya is a very loving kitty who needs a new home due to our child’s allergies. She has been around the grandparents dog and can be fiesty/playful but mostly keeps to herself when the dog is around. She is 99% indoors except for a few minutes to sunbathe once or twice a week. She has gone to the vet for her annual checkups every year since we got her and is a healthy kitty. She loves to be pet and played with.

Story
When Twitch was 8 years old, my daughter and I were volunteering at the Humane Society. He had the biggest Puss-in-Boots eyes. We had to bring him home. He was very scared for a long time and after a year or so finally climbed into laps for attention. Now he is at least 18 years old and loves attention. He demands fresh water straight from the Rockies and sometimes forgets he was just given fresh water 5 minute ago. He saw the vet last week and is in good health aside from normal aging. He has arthritis but seems to get around fine. Twitch is a sweet old soul and needs a patient, loving carer to give him all the loves. We are selling our house and living full time in an RV for the next 2-3 years. We believe this would all be too stressful for him. :(
