My story

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

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!

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!
