Story
Please contact Kristin (cats@arrcolorado.org) for more information about this pet.  Hi! My name Brazil, or “bruh” as my foster mom likes to call me. I was twice the size of my siblings when she got us, so I’m sure that has something to do with it. I’m a “big” and friendly boy who loves to wrestle and play (I’m still less than 3 pounds, but big compared to my sibs). I don’t easily get scared and feel ready to take on a chaotic household, if that’s your style. I will need someone to play with though - I’m too young to be an only pet. I haven’t been around dogs yet, but my foster mom guesses I would enjoy a canine friend. Wanna play? Submit your application to meet me at my foster home in South Aurora/Centennial. I have been fixed, microchipped, and had all my vaccines. My claws are extra sharp, so I’m not a great fit for kiddos under 12. I was born in December 2025. NOTE: only homes with a resident cat or dog will be considered, unless you adopt two kittens.  Foster: CG   Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes that every pet should find a wonderful, caring home. To ensure each pet finds the best possible home, we ask that you fill out an adoption application form so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application we receive and will contact you as quickly as possible. A home visit will be scheduled before any pet is adopted to a new home. Once a home visit has taken place and the adoption application has been approved, we will ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement form. Our adoption fees help cover the cost of spay/neuter, veterinary exams, vaccinations, microchipping, and foster care. Highly requested breeds help cover the vet costs incurred by some of our other cats, enabling us to save more lives! $350 for purebred/highly requested kittens, 6 months or younger, such as Siamese mixes, Maine Coon mixes.  These 'guardian kittens' help support our rescue work by covering vet costs for other kittens. $225 for purebred/highly requested cats older than 6 months such as Siamese mixes, Maine Coone mixes.  These 'guardian cats' help support our rescue work by covering vet costs for other kittens. $225 for kittens (6 months & under)    $150 for cats (older than 6 months)    $100 for senior cats (8 years or older) If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an adoption application  here . We want our pets to go to a lifelong new home, so thank you for your patience during the adoption process! Please email cats@arrcolorado.org for more information, as we can not accept calls at this time. PLEASE NOTE:  The breed listed is the information we've received from the shelter.  Shelters usually guess at the breed, so there is no guarantee, as we don't DNA test our foster pets.  Here is some interesting info on breed identification:  https://arrcolorado.org/category/puppy-dog-tips/ Our adoption process is: 1. Fill out our Adoption Application online.  We'll contact you within 48 hours to answer any questions you may have about the pet. 2. If the pet looks like a great match, we'll schedule a meet and greet and ask you to fill out our online Adoption Agreement if you'd like to proceed with adopting.  Once you've completed the Adoption Agreement and pay the pet's Adoption Fee, you can arrange to pick up your new furry family member!

Story
Please contact Kristin (cats@arrcolorado.org) for more information about this pet.  Well hello! I’m Hazelnut, a pretty little kitty. But don’t be fooled by my looks - I like to wrestle and play as much as my two brothers! In fact, I would really like to be adopted with one of them (Brazil or Pepita). I’m a curious lady who loves to check things out. If you’re standing next to me, I just might climb your leg like a tree so I can see what’s going on. I had a rough start in life, but I’ve been resilient and brave. I don’t meow much, but I do love to purr. I haven’t been around dogs yet, but my foster mom guesses I would enjoy a canine friend. Submit your application to meet me at my foster home in South Aurora/Centennial. I have been fixed, microchipped, and had all my vaccines. My claws are extra sharp, so I’m not a great fit for kiddos.

Story
Hello, my name is Lysander.I’m a handsome one-year-old brown tabby with a soft coat and a gentle soul. I can be a little shy at first and may take a bit of time to warm up—but once I do, I’ll absolutely melt in your arms. I’ve been around other kitties in my foster home and really liked them a lot. I’m not so sure about pups just yet, so a quieter home would probably suit me best. I would especially love a home with a confident feline companion who can show me that the world—and humans—aren’t so scary. I am neutered, up to date on all vaccinations (including rabies), and have tested FeLV/FIV negative, so I’m healthy and ready for my forever home. What I’m looking for most is patience, kindness, and a calm environment where I can continue building my confidence and blossom into the loving companion I’m meant to be. If you’re willing to give a shy boy a little time, I promise I’ll give you my whole heart in return. If you would like to meet me I am located at the PetSmart in Highlands Ranch off Broadway. If you fill out a non-obligation adoption application and call the staff at 303-214-0866 they will be happy to schedule a meet and greet.  ##2666221##

Story
Gus is a sweet 4 year old short haired void. Due to an unfortunate and unexpected change in living situation, I need to rehome my sweet boy. He is up to date on all immunizations, his last check up was the end of January 2026. He gets along well with other cats, and would prefer to go to a home with other cats to interact with. He can be very cuddly and chatty, and loves to play.

Story
Age: 10 yearsCats? Possibly! My history with cats is unknown. Dogs? Possibly! My history with dogs is unknown. Kids? Yes! I am small kid friendly according to my previous owner. Hi! I`m Panko. I`m most likely one of the most handsome cats you have ever seen. I have previously been described as friendly, shy with strangers, independent, and feisty. I will ask for pets when I`m feeling affectionate. My favorite activity is drinking water from a dripping sink. Please come to the shelter and give me all the pets! **Available for pre-adoption only. Will be ready to go home after my rabies vaccination is completed.**Interested in adopting?
