I am already neutered, in need of an experienced adopter, and up to date with shots.
Hi, my name is Bowman. I'm one of the Hobbits at Happy Cats, named because we're all small, round and a little unprepared for our new adventure. I came here from where I was living with 160 other cats in a single garage, but I'm quickly learning how to be a normal cat.
I'm a beautiful brown tabby fellow with the round features of an American Shorthair, though I don't have any fancy papers. When I was rescued, I had a big abscess on my head, which is why I have the punk haircut. It's healing nicely now and starting to get furry again.
I had never been out of a dark garage, crammed in with many many other cats, until I came to Happy Cats. It didn't take me very long to get used to space and sunshine and friendly people! Now when you come to visit, I'll greet you with a head butt in trade for some petting.
I'm here with my buddies Hobson and Ferdinand. I'm always rubbing on my friends, twining my tail around them, just like we probably did in the garage. I'm learning how to play and really love the new toys here. I would love to be adopted with at least one other Hobbit to make sure I adjust with the least amount of stress.
Happy Cats is having a May Special, so I can be adopted for $50, which includes my neuter, microchip, vaccinations (except rabies), food & litter starter kit, a month of free insurance and a free vet visit voucher. As always, the Buddy Discount will let one or more of the other Hobbits come home with me for half off.

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:
