Do you have a rodent problem on your property? We have a solution! Our barn cats prefer a job where they can have some of that fresh mountain air so abundant here in Colorado. Some of them can be handled, but we have others who would prefer to do their job, stay warm in your barn, and love you from a distance.

I'm a big snuggler - like it's my favorite activity. I love snuggling with my sisters and brother, I love snuggling with my foster dog-bros.. I'll even snuggle a stranger, they're just friends you haven't met yet! I love to play with mice or crinkle balls, I'll chase them down and tackle them!

Please contact Kristin (cats@arrcolorado.org) for more information about this pet.  Howdy! My name is Birdie and I am SO ready to find my forever fam! I'm a super confident gal and don't get phased by new people or situations. I LOVE playing with my foster dog-bro, he's way bigger than I am but I totally kick his butt (then snuggle with him directly after). I party with my sisters, brother and foster cat-bros too.. But I really love dogs. I'm super affectionate.. Foster mom calls me an 'aggressive snuggler' because when I'm ready to cuddle, I do head boops until I get the cuddles I want.

Story
Please contact Kristin (cats@arrcolorado.org) for more information about this pet.  Denali came to ARR due to his mom passing away unexpectedly. He's spectacular and has the typical Maine Coon laid back personality. It took him a number of weeks to begin to trust as he came to us pretty traumatized as his home was very quiet. He's in a busier house now with other cats and a chill dog and is doing wonderfully. He's begun sleeping with his foster mom most nights. He loved playing with toys and is a litter box champ! He will need to go to a home with at least one other cat or dog. Children 12 and over.

Story
Please contact Kristin (cats@arrcolorado.org) for more information about this pet.  Hello! My name is Bernadette and I'm here to steal your heart. I'm a confident little lady and the one thing I am VERY confident about is that I want all the snuggles and scritches. I love all types: snuggles on your lap, snuggles in with a cozy pup or curled up with a friendly kitty. I just love everything and everyone; I'm the first of my litter to explore new toys, new places or meet new people. I love crinkly toys and tunnels (all the better to hunt from). I'd do best with lots of friends, at least another cat and even a cat-friendly dog -- I'd LOVE to go home with one of my sisters or brother! I haven't met kiddos before, but I'm so confident I know I'd do well in any situation.
