My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

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.

More about this shelter

Welcome to Happy Cats Haven! We are a non-profit rescue and adoption center for homeless cats and kittens in the Pikes Peak Region of Colorado Springs. We are a Feline Friendly Shelter and guarantee safe haven for all cats we take in.

No healthy or treatable cat is euthanized, and our Live Release Rate is 98%, which means we meet the definition of a No-Kill Organization and exceed that of Socially Conscious Sheltering.

We believe that cats are valuable, lovable and trainable, not disposable. Feline Friendly means we treat our cats as individuals–with respect, compassion and positive reinforcement–to make their stay as stress-free as possible until they are adopted.

We give both our cats and our adopters the gift of time, so everyone can relax and show their true personalities. Each adoption matches our deep understanding of our cats with their new families, handcrafted for a feline lifetime.

Our ongoing support with classes and online advice continues long past adoption. We have found forever families for over 4,500 cats and kittens since 2011!
