Story
Meet Cloudia and Sunshine! These two adorable little ladies were found trying to survive outside. They’ve decided they’re much happier indoors, and are ready to find a loving home of their very own. Sweet gray tabby Cloudia may look a bit like a thunder cloud, but she’s a wonderful little Kitty Secretary who will fill your home and heart with rainbows! She loves to be petted gently along her head, back, and sides. She also loves to play, especially with wand toys! She had some scary experiences outside and is easily startled, so she appreciates soft footsteps and a gentle touch. Adorable calico Sunshine is a little bit more of a Wallflower and tends to follow her sister’s lead. Once she’s gotten to know you, she’ll be the sweetest little cat! Like her sister, she loves wand toys! Also like her sister, loud noises can startle her, so she likes it when her humans take things slow and are gentle. Both girls love other cats and would do well in a home with them. These girls would do best in a home without dogs or young children. Both girls are about a year and a half old and can be adopted together for $120 which includes their spays, vaccinations, microchips, food and litter starter kits, and a free well-kitty checkup to help you get started. As TLC cats, both girls come with a Home Installation with their favorite volunteer to help them settle in, as well as behavior support if needed.

Story
Meet Doc and Clyde! These to adorable little young men were found struggling to survive outside. They’ve decided the indoor life is just so much better, and are ready to find loving forever homes of their very own. Are you ready to make a huge difference in a pair of kitties lives? It is such a rewarding feeling when you know that as these kitties furever pawrents, not only do you love them the most but you are actually their biggest advocate! A family that makes it possible for them to know everyday that they can have complete confidence and trust at home. They are looking for a Superhero! Because of their early experiences in life and around people, Doc & Clyde will need a family with extra patience, willing to let them blossom at their own pace. Little Mister Doc with his tabby face is a Kitty Secretary, which means he loves to help his humans around the house! He may follow you around and supervise you with your daily chores, and might even give you a gentle squeak of encouragement if he thinks you’re doing a good job. At the end of the day, he also likes to play, so bring out the wand toys! At times, Doc likes to just lay somewhere high on his back and watch the world go by, upside down, it’s honesty the best perspective. He is also quite affection and loves to rub against your arms and legs. Adorable Sir Clyde with his white face is a Funny Valentine, which means he’s a shy boy, but very loving. Once he’s settled in and gotten to know you, he’ll be the sweetest, purriest little man. He gets his confidence from his brother and loves to play and cuddle with him too. And, like his brother, he is incredibly intelligent and such a good hunter. He loves to play as well! As superhero kitties, these cats will do best as the only pets in the home. Doc & Clyde have lived at Happy Cats for many months and will need at least 2 months in their Safe Room, a quiet space to learn to trust and love their new family, as well as our Hands Off handling to help them build trust. Superhero Kitties come with a kit that includes helps you support them while they become the lovable companions we know they can be. This includes a home installation, a top/side loading carrier per kitty, support materials & videos customized for your kitty, a mini-class in Hands Down Handling, their favorite toys & bedding, 3 months of food/litter/treats, up to 1 year of professional behavioral counseling if needed and other equipment as needed. Both boys are approximately seven months old and can be adopted together for $120 which includes their neuters, vaccinations, microchips, food and litter starter kits, and a free well-kitty checkup to help you get started.

Story
Meet our two sweet tabby sisters, Lilian and Marian, known as Lil and Mari! Lil is the one with the more angular features and Mari is more round faced, with a tipped ear badge of courage that shows she was rescued from trying to survive on the streets. They were rescued from a bad situation at a trash company as wee kittens. They had a wonderful foster mom as kittens, so have come a long way from their early days of being terrified of humans. Because of that, though, they will start out as Wallflowers in new situations, hiding somewhere they feel safe and observing for a few days. Once they feel safe, though, they will turn into very loving cats, purring and ready for pets. We expect they’ll be a balance of Kitty Secretary, wanting to know where you are, with a streak of independent, able to entertain themselves when you’re not around…and sometimes when you are?! Lil tends to be a little more confident and will likely be the one who adapts first, coming out to her new family for purrs and pets. Mari is a little more reticent, needing to know 100% that her new home is safe before she takes a chance again on love. Once she does, though, she’s just as much about the headbonks and purrs as Lil is. We expect they’ll be great little sidecar cats, cuddling up beside you on a cold winter’s night. Both are still youngsters at 1.5 years, so playtime is still one of the best ways to their hearts. Mari is the lead playgirl who loves to leap and run with just about any wand toy, with Lil not far behind her! These two ladies will blossom in a calm and quiet environment with just adults to care for them. They grew up with other cats so may do well with another cat or two who is known to like other cats. They will need a gentle and slow introduction for that please. Because of all they’ve been through, they are bonded and need to stay together. They can be adopted together for $120 which includes their spays, vaccinations, microchips, food and litter starter kits, and a free well-kitty checkup each to help you get started. We recommend you wait at least a month until they are coming out and interacting in their home until you take them to the veterinarian. You can click here https://happycatshaven.org/adoption-application/ to fill out an Adoption Application or leave a message at 719-725-4970. Someone should get back to you during our adoption hours Wednesday – Sunday by 5 pm . If you need to contact someone more quickly, please call 719-362-4600 and we’ll do our best to get back to you within 48 hours.

Story
Hi fans, I’m Kuro! I’m a sleek black house panther with big green eyes. I came to Happy Cats when my person didn’t have time for me any more. I’m a confident little senior lady who knows what she wants and is good about letting you know too! I’m looking for a quiet home where I can be your One and Only, because how could any other pet compete with a queen like me 😻? I will be your best Kitty Admin cat, following you around and making sure I supervise everything you do. If you’re looking for a chatty cat, someone to tell all your secrets to and listen to mine, I’m your girl! I’m also very affectionate and love to purr on laps, but as a Say Please Cat (https://happycatshaven.org/cat-affection-styles/), I do have a few rules. I need to give you consent to touch first, with soft blinks or leaning in slightly. I may only be able to tolerate a few strokes at a time. If you go over my threshold, I may ask you to stop by softly mouthing my discomfort. If you continue, I may bite to tell you NO. I am declawed, so this is the only way I have to let you know that I don’t want to be petted at that moment! I love to go outside with supervision and am halter trained so you can share that time with me. I come with a cute backpack that my former guardian used to safely take me outside. They say I’m a senior, but I still love to pounce and play like any youngster! I come with lots of my favorite wand toys so we can have playtime every day, my favorite time of the day. I also have one big rule about my litterbox, which is that I like it to be clean! It you make sure to scoop it every day, I promise I’ll be good and use it like I’ve been using the one here at Happy Cats. You’d prefer to have your toilet clean when you use it too, wouldn’t you? My other big rule is that I absolutely must be a single kitty. I’ve been bullied in the past, so I need to be the only pet in the house and no visiting pets. I will probably do best in a home with no small children either. I’m about 11 years young and you can adopt me for $60 which includes my spay, vaccinations, microchip, food and litter starter kit, and a free well-kitty checkup to help you get started. I also have a lot of other cat equipment besides my backpack, including scratchers that I use to scent mark, a cute little hideaway cubby and lots of toys.

Story
Meet Buffer and Levi, huge handsome bonded brothers ready to turn up the volume on your purr quotient 100%! Buffer is the buff tabby with luscious long fur and tufty toes like his cousins the Maine Coons and Levi is his striking lynx point adopted brother with ice blue eyes that show off his Siamese heritage. They came to Happy Cats when their people added several new cats to their home, making the boys insecure and unhappy. Since they’ve been in foster care with no other animals. they are happy and settled and ready for their new family! Both boys are full-time Kitty Admins, ready to follow you around and supervise your day with almost constant snuggles purrs. Levi leads the way to show Buffer what to do, while Buffer is the classic little brother, waiting for Levi to make the first move but right behind him. They are both big loverboys with people, with Levi always ready for laptime and purrs. Levi loves to start with a vigorous biscuit-making session to show you his love (you might want to have a Biscuit Pad handy) and then rolls around on his back looking for head scritches and gazing at you lovingly. Buffer takes a back seat (let’s face it, most laps don’t have room for nearly 30 pounds of felines!) but loves to snuggle in sidecar style next to your legs. They aren’t couch potatoes though…get out just about any kitty wand and they’re all over the place, leaping and pouncing! They’re great with playing at the same time as long as you have two wands going so they don’t have to share. Buffer makes the cutest little mews as he plays, like he’s talking to his toys. They aren’t super cuddly with each other, but can sometimes be found grooming each other. They are wonderful companions and would be very upset if they didn’t have each other in their new home. The boys were raised on a raw diet but have been transitioned to half kibble. They’ll do best if they can stay on a freeze-dried raw diet for the other half as that’s the taste and texture they understand. It also will help keep their coats as glossy and healthy as they are now. Freeze dried raw food is similar in cost to a high quality canned without the gums and additives. It only needs to have warm water added to be very similar to canned food. These big sweethearts will probably fit in well with just about any family, but really need to be your only Kings of the Castle to thrive and feel like they won’t be displaced again, no other cats or dogs. Levi is technically a senior at 9 years young, so he can be adopted for $100 as a Siamese mix. Since he and 5 year-old Buffer are bonded, Buffer gets to go home with him for half off at $150 for both. That includes their neuters, vaccinations, microchips, food and litter starter kits, and a free well-kitty checkup each to help you get started!

Story
Have you ever had that joyful experience of finally getting a shy cat to lean into petting with love? If so, Riley & Luka are looking for a Superhero just like you! Adorable little tabby Riley came to Happy Cats after being rescued from trying to survive outside in a homeless camp, which you can tell by her tipped-ear badge of courage. Big handsome tabby Luka has white paws, vest and big green eyes. He came back to us after his guardian died and he was left alone for a long time. They met each other at here at the Haven and have been friends ever since! They are are more than ready to have their own home and family to love. Because of their scary early lives they needed time to learn to trust, but now they get very excited to see their friends! They greet their favorite people with lots of rubs, head bonks and chirps. They both appreciate being able to initiate petting, but once they consent, they are very affectionate. They both love to snuggle next to you when you sit on the floor with their favorite blanket in your lap, which is a kitty magnet for them! Riley will lay and roll in your lap, while Luka is a Sidecar Cat who loves to snuggle right next to you. They also love to be brushed during their snuggle sessions. Being picked up has been scary for them in the past, so they do best when they can be in charge of how and when they are petted. As your favorite Kitty Admins, they can be extremely helpful about the house! We expect they’ll follow you around–especially Riley!–and give you instructions on whatever it is you’re doing. If you do well, they may even reward you with a headbonk and some purrs! Riley is a flirty little lady once you get to know her and Luka will be your steadfast, green-eyed man of the house. Playtime is the best way to win their hearts and keep them confident. In spite of Riley’s sweet appearance, she’s a fierce little hunter when it comes to playtime. Get out any wand toy and you won’t believe how fast she is! Neither of them can resist when a toy disappears under a rug or blanket. They come with a Cat Dancer and fleece wand to keep increasing their confidence at their new home. This will also help them bond to their new family. Both cats love high perches and will come with a cat tree to provide that. Riley survived by hiding up in trees when she was outside and Luka loves his high perches too. This helps them stay confident when they’re feeling a little unsafe. They have lived at Happy Cats for many months and will need at least 2 months in their Safe Room, a quiet space to learn to trust and love their new family, as well as our Hands Off handling to help them build trust. Superhero Cats need to be the only pets in the home and do best in a home without small children. Superhero Kitties come with a kit that helps you support them while they become the lovable companions we know they can be (http://happycatshaven.org/kitty-superhero/). This includes a home installation, a top/side loading carrier per kitty, a mini-class in Hands Off Handling, their favorite toys & bedding, 3 months of food/litter/treats, up to 1 year of professional behavioral counseling if needed. Riley is about 4 and Luka is about 6. They can be adopted together for $90 which along with their Superhero Kit includes their spay and neuter, vaccinations, microchips, food and litter and treats for 3 months, and a free well-kitty checkup each to help you get started. Please wait at least 2 months before taking them in for their checkup. You can click here http://happycatshaven.org/superhero-adoption-application/ to fill out a Superhero Adoption Application. Someone should get back to you within 48 hours after you send it in.
