Hi, I'm Sammy! I came to Happy Cats as a skinny baby mama, probably not more than a year old last year. I raised my kittens to be sweet, loving cats and helped them all find homes.
I'm a big girl, long and panther-sleek. However, colony living has proved to be just too confining for me. When I get bored, I tend to eat. To be honest, I've put on a little weight. Quite a little weight. It does let me do a very good seal imitation, though, don't you think? They even took me back to the vet for a checkup because it seemed to come on so fast. But I'm apparently just, well, rockin’ the kibble gut.
I'm no couch potato though. Give me just about any toy – even with barely any room to run – and I can get air over the rugs every chance I get. I run up and down the ramp just fine and enjoy life just like I did when I was a thin new mom.
I'm in a colony now with a couple of other plump and luscious cats, so we're all on the Catkins diet. I lost almost half a pound in one week! So I'm on my way to being healthier already.
To sweeten my deal, Happy Cats has me on special through the month of March for $50, which includes my spay, microchip, negative virus test, vaccinations (except rabies), food & litter starter kit, a month of free insurance and a free vet visit so you make sure I stay on my diet.
Shelter Info...
Because we know and love each and every cat and kitten here, we can help you make the best possible choice when it comes to finding a cat. Our home-like setting not only puts the cats at ease, but it provides a pleasant, relaxing environment for you to choose your next best cat ever. A good match means a wonderful forever home so your kitten or cat never has to see the inside of a shelter again. We also provide lifelong behavior care and referrals to keep our cats and kittens at hom.
We make every effort to keep up with current feline research and best practices in order to keep our standards high and our cats and kittens healthy and happy.
What makes HCH different from other shelters?
A purr is more subtle than a wagging tail. Cats sometimes need a little help to bring out their best sides, especially with the trauma of losing their homes. We focus on the special needs of cats in shelters, creating a cage-free feline-friendly space that best promotes each cat’s individual personality. This also makes us more human friendly too, giving you a comfortable environment to make your best match possible.
Why open another cat shelter?
Around 9 out of 10 dogs in shelters find a home. For cats, it’s only 1 out of 3. We’d like to put a dent in those horrific statistics by showing people what great companions cats can be. We also spay and neuter each cat to help reduce the kitten explosion that leads to nearly 5,000 cat and kitten euthanasias a year in the Pikes Peak region alone.
We’re located on Colorado Springs’ Westside, just off Highway 24 heading West to Pikes Peak:

Seniors and other special needs cats include the same signing bonus and are $80. Our kittens are $125 for those over 6 months and $140 for those under, including the same package.
