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
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
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
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
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.
