May has brought us even more rain, color, and greenery in our Colorado outdoors. We have handsome multi-colored cats at our shelter to equal the beautiful May flowers in our gardens and open spaces. These cats, like all of our furry residents, would love to find a forever home with a caring family. In honor of our colorful cats, we have an adoption special on all multi-colored cats 1 year and older this month. Please stop by and meet our May flower felines...you might find your special friend!
Please visit our
Facebook page for more information.
Visit our website to
view all our cats available for adoption.
Note: our standard adoption screening process applies to this promotion. Further, for cats age ten and older and cats with chronic medical problems we offer our Perpet-U-Care Program which provides
$250 of veterinary care services at the CCS Cat Clinic annually.

Jet is ready for his forever home! He is a sweet 8 year old boy, who is looking to be the king of his castle! Jet had been living with his special person, until the senior owner passed away. One of his friends took Jet in, but he was allergic to him and wasn't able to keep him. Jet is a healthy boy, but it turns out that he doesn't like other animals at all! We tried him in several different rooms in the shelter, but he didn't settle down until he got a room of his own. Jet loves to socialize with humans, and he is what we call a "social eater". That means he eats better when he has someone with him, talking to him or sharing a meal with him. He is very friendly and outgoing, as long as he is the only cat. If you are looking for a cat who truly wants to bond with a human, Jet might be the one for you. Please come in and visit with this special boy!
You can read more about Jet on his adopt-a-pet page:
