Story
Elly is a sweet girl. She loves laps, sun basking naps, and making biscuits. She dislikes being held, fast movements, dogs, cats and small kids but does well with older kids 10+. We have had her for over 4 years and things were going were great but in February of last year she ran away. She was found in September of 2025 and since then she does not get along with our dogs and one of our other cats. So we are needing to rehome her. She is a great mouser and will do great in a single pet home! If you want a sweet loving cat Elly Cat is definitely for you. She is chipped, no health issues, and shots are up to date through June.

Story
We adopted Crush 3 years ago from Longmont Humane Society. He is about 3.5 years old. Crush is a friendly and sweet orange kitty. He has his quirks and needs a lot of attention. He loves to be pet, play with springs, and be carried around. He is such a sweet boy and is great with humans. He is a vocal little guy, especially when playing with his springs. Unfortunately, he can be rough on furniture. He does not do well with other cats.

Story
Rome is 3 years old. She is curious, smart, fearless, playful and loves laps to nap in. She was originally my daughter's cat but she needs access to the outdoors. She was not happy being confined to an apartment. Once we took her in, she was much more relaxed and happy being able to go outside- she uses the dog door - since we took her in back in April 2025. She gets along great with our 2 dogs, even rubbing against them or sleeping with them. The reason we are having to rehome her is she is not getting along with one of our other cats. We do have another cat who she does not bother at all - basically ignores her. She will need access to the outdoors in her new home. She is very picky foodwise and will only eat 1 brand of wet food, and 1 brand of dry.

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.
