Story
Please contact Kristin (cats@arrcolorado.org) for more information about this pet.  Meet Sugar! She is a beautiful, energetic little tabby girl. She came in as a stray and is still quite shy as she grows more confidence and trust in humans. She loves to play with all the toys and will happily come for any food. Sugar has some spice to her keeping her distance from people and letting you know when you are too close. She would be great in a home that isn’t looking for a cuddly cat or with someone that has a lot of patience and time. She would do well with a confident, friendly cat to help her learn.  Sugar was born in April 2025.  Foster: KY 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
Ernie was found outside an apartment complex abandoned. We came across him and after he greeted us, we noticed he was very skinny and dirty. After feeding him, He jumped right into a carrier and we brought him to a vet to get checked out. He is neutered, healthy, and fully up to date on vaccines and did not have a chip. He’s gained his weight back to a healthy level, and since then his personality has come out. Ernie is a very loving and playful boy. He loves being near us, and is always ready to play. We unfortunately are not able to keep him due to our lease, but he’d be an incredible addition to any home. He is shy around other cats and is comfortable around dogs.
