Story
Micky came into my life November of last year. He was 3 months old, bright, bubbly, and the most affectionate and sweet boy. However, Micky has gradually gotten worse and worse liver and GI problems following an e coli infection June of this year. He was vomiting daily for the months of August, September and October, but following a food change he no longer vomits. He weighs 3-4lbs down from 6lb, needs daily medications, and would need a feeding tube and attentive care, but between an extremely busy job it being unreasonable for me to pursue further treatment, it is infeasible for me to keep him for the foreseeable future as of now. I only just graduated college and moved out to Boulder. This is why I am looking to rehome him. He is an extremely strong, clever, and good boy--he loves going outside, he's extremely handleable and never bites. Loves to find innovative parkour routes. At a year and a half old, I don't think he, or I am quite ready to say goodbye.

Story
She is an affectionate feline that spends time on the bed in the sun. She loves attention and is easy-going. She has been around other cats and two Labrador dogs. She uses an enclosed kitty litter box, she eats Authority dry food, and also enjoys frisky wet canned food. She is free-fed; I would love to keep her, but I moved in with an HOA with an animal limit.

Story
Loki has been with me for a long time, I've had him since 2012. He does ok with dogs, buts it’s been a few years since he’s been around them and he does ok with cats. I have another cat that he lives with, but he does play rough and likes to chase her. He likes cuddling, he likes being with people and he used to do really well at the vet. My ex used to be very mean to him, so he flinches a bit and tends to run if you raise your voice. I kept him after the divorce, but I can’t keep up with the vet bills. He needs his shots and needs imaging for his stomach, since he vomits too often. I was happy to save him from my ex but I feel like I’m not giving him a good home because of his medical needs. The adoption fee is waive-able of course, I just don’t want him to end up in a bad home. He meows a lot, too, I know some people prefer quiet cats. He’s a little dog-like. He doesn’t like little kids much since he’s older now, but he used to love them.

Story
Rambo was dropped off at the clinic where I work. He is a super sweet boy, loves to snuggle and seems tolerant of everything (medications, dogs, other cats). He is diabetic so does need additional care. He is on a special diet and gets insulin injections twice daily. No adoption fee as we just want him to have a good home. However adopters will need to go through a diabetes care session with me to demonstrate that they can properly care for him.

Story
Otto was adopted from the Denver Animal Shelter a little over a year ago. He was listed as 1-2 years old, but he grew quite a bit after adoption and I believe he was younger than 1 year. He is a very social boy, almost always in the same room as everyone. He loves to snuggle up on your lap but while there he does not like to be pet. He loves to play and needs a lot of it. The reason we need to rehome him is because he has play aggression issues that include biting. We have been trying to work on these issues but have not had success. I think he could benefit from a cat friend but I am not in a place to introduce a new cat into the home. We have an infant and he was ok the first 2 months but recently has taken a major interest to her and we do not feel safe with him around her with his current behavior issues. I love this cat so very much but just cannot seem to give him the home he needs. He gets very frightened by the sound of the baby crying and loud sudden noises in general.

Story
Tonks is incredibly sweet and loves spending time near her person — she’ll curl up next to you while you read or nap in a sunny window all afternoon. She’s quiet, well-mannered, and still has a playful side when she’s in the mood! Unfortunately, she has been having some litter box issues that seem to be caused by stress from living with other animals. She does not do well with other cats, and we believe she would thrive as the only pet in a peaceful home where she can feel completely safe and secure. She’s spayed, healthy, and up to date on her vet care. Her ideal home would be with someone patient and understanding.

Story
Little Mousse may have missed out on some crucial socialization when she was younger, and has been working on making friends and learning to trust people. She has learned that pets and stritches are awesome, and is now ready to learn trust in her forever home. Because predictability will be key, at this time HSBV will only rehome Mousse to a household without children under 10. Mousse feels her best around other kitties, so we are also requiring she go to a home with a friendly feline to keep her company.
