Story
Snap is looking for her forever home! She is curious and likes to perch on higher spots so that she can observe everything that’s going on! She also likes window watching and sunbathing on her favorite window sill. If someone else is on her window perch, she will likely join you on the back of the couch. This adorable tabby girl likes to play and wrestle with the other cats in the home. She was initially more shy than her siblings, but she has grown to be more sociable with her foster family. Now she enjoys being loved and petted. She likes the cat tunnel as well as motorized toys. Dangle toys or toys hanging from string or elastic are a fun game to her. She thinks she is the great hunter when she catches it! But, then, it stretches too far and bounces back and she has to start over! She also likes motorized toys as do her siblings. She has lived with cat-friendly dogs in her foster home. She would be fine with older children who are experienced with cats. Snap is about 1 year old. She is litter box trained. She has brown and black tabby markings with some orange and white. Snap is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and FIV/FeLV negative. Her adoption fee is $150. She is being fostered in Aurora.

Story
Pop is ready for adoption! His favorite spot is hanging out on the back of the couch. He loves to be cuddled and held by his foster family. Pop enjoys playing with the other kitties in the home, so a home with another friendly cat playmate is best. His favorite toy is a motorized toy that the feather pops in and out of a hole and he tries to catch it! He also enjoys his scratching posts. He loves to lick pureed treats from your hand! Pop has lived with cat-friendly dogs in his foster home. He would be ok with older children who are experienced with cats. Pop is approximately 1 year old. He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and FIV/FeLV negative. His adoption fee is $150. He is being fostered in Aurora.

Story
Shiner is a 12 year old neutered, declawed male kitty who is looking for a forever home. The toddler in his original home has stage 4 cancer and can’t be around any animal that sheds, litter, etc. Shiner moved to a relative’s home temporarily, but he is unable to return to the original home due to the ongoing medical situation. He’s a sweet cat and quickly made himself comfortable in his foster home. Shiner has lived with medium and large dogs his entire life. He made fast friends with his foster mom's dog! For the previous six months he has lived with two cats, and if introduced slowly, he should do okay with other cats, but he prefers cat-friendly dogs. He would be ok living with older children who are experienced with cats. He has lived with two children under four years old the last few years and wasn’t too thrilled about it. He doesn’t love loud noises and the unpredictability of young children can make him anxious. Shiner was recently diagnosed with degenerative joint disease and receives a monthly Solensia injection and is doing great! This is a newly-approved injection that is working wonders on cats with osteoarthritis. His original owner is willing to sponsor the first three months of injections. He loves anything that crinkles and has a special affinity for boxes (even for a cat!). He loves drinking from a water fountain and playing with dangle toys! If you are interested in adopting this sweet boy, please submit an application today. He is being fostered in the Denver area. https://www.fromforgottentoforever.com/catadoptionapplication/

Story
I adopted Orson at PetSmart. He was unfamiliar with being petted but we took things slowly now I am very proud of the little graduate. You can anticipate ankle nuzzles, head butts, & cheek nuzzles. Orson calls softly throughout the day when he is in another room and seems to enjoy the reassurance when you answer back. He loves playing often with a fishing pole style toy & enjoys playing with the fuzzy attachments ( must have a bell) Orson proudly brings the entire fishing pole toy or separate attachment with bell to you when helike to play. He plays with my other cat often & is good with the 2 dogs who respect his boundaries. Orson did take a while to litter box train. After consulting a behaviorist success was found. Orson needs 4 litter boxes. 2 with Smart Grass litter( on Amazon) and 2 with clay litter. It is important that the entrance is no higher than 4 inches high. Orson did have surgery to remove his colon but is now tolerating regular, dry food.

Story
Momo was originally a foster cat who needed a temporary home shortly after having a perineal urethrostomy due to a kidney stone (back in 2020 during Covid). I took him in lovingly and quickly decided to accept him as an addition to our small family, in which time he fully recovered and has been thriving ever since (no special needs). He is an 8-year-old cuddly cat who has experienced traveling the country with our family and his younger fellow feline brother Tango. He has experience being around young kids (4+), however, he will maintain his distance or voice his discomfort towards them if he feels they are chasing him or being too aggressive with their approach. I'm hoping to find a home that can give him (and his brother Tango) the amount of love and attention he deserves. He is a SUPER cuddly cat that craves affection and is just as persistent in giving love in return! He's a wonderful couch buddy and can put anyone to sleep if you let him cuddle you long enough!

Story
June DSH / Grey Tabby Female 10 6 lbs. Hey there, I'm June! The cutest little kitty you'll ever meet, on a mission to find my purr-fect forever home! I may be small, but my heart is as big as can be and I'm ready to shower my new family with all the love and affection they can handle! With my soft gray tabby coat and darling white muzzle, I'm quite the little stunner, don't you think? I'm all about the chill life—napping, cuddling and just enjoying the cozy moments. I used to have a feline sibling who was my best bud for years, but he recently passed away. So, I'm open to living with a new feline buddy, preferably another laid-back cat who loves cuddles and companionship as much as I do! I'm a pro at making friends with nice, friendly dogs and I just can't get enough of kids! I'm also independent enough to be the sole pet in your home, offering an abundance of warmth and affection for everyone. I do have a little something special about me—I have hyperthyroidism, which means I need some extra care, including daily medication and a special diet. But don't worry, it doesn't slow me down one bit! So, if you're looking for a loving, gentle companion to curl up with, I'm your girl! Come meet me soon, and let's start our happily ever after together! Please learn more about the adoption process and fill out an application at https://pawsco.org/adopt/adoption-process. I look forward to meeting you!

Chloe DSH / Black & White Female 16 years old 7 lbs. Well, hello there! My name is Chloe and I’m the sweetest senior gal you’ll ever see. There’s nothing I love more than an afternoon full of snuggles and a window with a view. I’m currently living at a cat cafe, and while I absolutely adore the attention, I would love to find a home of my very own. I’m litter box trained, and have a world class purr. If you love to cuddle, we’re a match made in heaven! Age is just a number, isn’t that what they say? While I’m a little on the older side, I walk around like a cat half my age! Give me some catnip and I’m off to the races. I’d prefer a home without young kiddos or cats since I do love a quiet nap, but older kids and chill kitties would make a great fit. Please learn more about the adoption process and fill out an application at www.pawsco.org/adopt/adoption-process. I look forward to meeting you!

Story
The working cats are those who are not the curl-up-on-the-couch-and-snuggle type. These kitties are brought to us as ferals who are unsocialized. These working cats are healthy, independent felines who help to keep their adopters’ barns and properties free of unwanted pests in exchange for food, shelter, and care. In exchange for food, shelter, and care, they will roam and protect your home and property from unwanted, pesky intruders.If you are interested in adopting a working cat (or a few!), please click below to fill out an application! All of our barn cats are spayed/neutered and up to date on their vaccinations. We like them to be adopted in atleast pairs of two.  https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/48731/generic ##2033368##
