Cat Care Society

Our mission is to be a safe and enriching place for all cats on their journey to a loving home. Approximately 800 cats come into our care each year!
(259)

Cat Care Society is a non-profit, limited-admission cat shelter founded in 1981 to improve the quality of life for cats in need in the Denver metro area. Our unique and free-roaming approach views all cats as worthy, regardless of their age or abilities. We are non-discriminatory in our love for cats and take in cats that may not have a chance anywhere else. This includes cats that have tested pos

itive for FIV or FeLV, or have been diagnosed with chronic health conditions such as diabetes or kidney disease. We pride ourselves in finding these cats loving homes and educating cat owners on the care requirements for cats with special needs. We provide a temporary refuge for cats in need until an appropriate home can be found for each. Veterinary care, premium diet, and human interaction are lovingly provided by dedicated staff and volunteers. As we receive no government funding, Cat Care Society is supported by a number of loyal volunteers, donors, and partners, without whom we could not operate. Our staff and board of directors work together to ensure that every cat receives an enriching environment and the opportunity to find a home where they can flourish.

🌟 Curley Sue Update! 🌟

Remember Curley Sue, the sweet kitty who spent all day in her hidey bed last week? Well, we’ve got some great news to share!

She’s now in a foster home, getting the socialization and love she deserves. So far, she’s doing wonderfully! While she’s still a bit shy and prefers exploring when no one’s around, her foster family tells us she’s making great progress. She’s starting to enjoy pets, becoming more vocal, and growing more confident each day. All she needs is a little time and patience! 🐱✨

Interested in adopting? Email us at [email protected] to set up a meet and greet with her foster!

We have an from Emily who adopted the bonded pair Cam (now Tuna) and Mitch (now Cheddar) in November 2024! Emily was looking specifically to get these two boys after seeing them on TikTok.

“We have only had them since mid-November but they are breaking out of their shells everyday! They still are attached at the hip and we always find them cuddled up together taking a nap.

“They have become more adventurous (and mischievous) as they get more comfortable. Cheddar LOVES to play with string toys and get scratches behind his ears. Tuna goes crazy when we throw little pom pom toys and loves to hang out at the very top of the cat tower and watch over everyone else (he is still our resident shy boy).

“We honestly love them so so much and adopting them has been the greatest joy of all :).”

Hi, I'm Lil Milo! I'm a sweet and adorable 11-year-old boy looking for a quiet home. I am affectionate and love to play, but I can be independent and appreciate my alone time. I am FIV+, but don't let that stop you- I am a happy and healthy boy and I can't wait to meet you!

We have an from Sarah who adopted Lucy (now Freyja, named after the Norse Goddess) in November 2024. Sarah was looking to meet all the black kitties, but was mostly looking for any kitty that would cuddle, enjoy a quiet and loving home, and be good with their two other kitties. After meeting Freyja, who is a gorgeous golden and black torbie, they fell in love. She was hidden under some blankets and not super social with other cats at the shelter, but Sarah is glad they took the time to sit with her and pet her at the shelter because she is so sweet and clearly loved to have attention.

“She has a quirky and playful personality that is shining through now that she knows she has a loving furrever home. She likes to give you little love nibbles when she's really happy and purring. She loves belly rubs too and it's not a trap like with other cats!

“We spent a week introducing her to her big brothers slowly and now she has full range of the house and all three of them are tolerating and getting used to another kitty in the house. We provide lots of playtime and make sure they have food at various places around the house so they don't fight.

“Freyja loves chasing felted balls and string toys. She also really loves these glazed salmon treats so we've been giving that to her for getting along well with her brothers and for taking her meds. When we adopted her she had eye drops from the shelter and we've had to continue that treatment for a bit. She's such a good girl taking them. She also really loves fuzzy bathrobes, which we both have on regularly since it's winter. She'll capture you for hours on the couch and make biscuits on your robe and cuddle up in your lap. It's the best.”

Hi, I’m Peaches! 🍑🐾

I’m a sweet, 11-year-old lady looking for a calm and cozy home to enjoy my golden years. I’ve been thriving in my foster home and absolutely love hopping up on the couch for cuddles!

As a senior kitty, I do have a few medical needs that require some monitoring, but the amazing medical team at CCS is more than happy to answer any questions you might have.

Interested in meeting me? Reach out to the adoption staff to schedule a meet-and-greet with my foster today!

We have an from Darcy who adopted Dodger (now Buster, aka little baby B***y, aka Bustah Rhymes) on October 8, 2016. Darcy came to CCS to donate some food and wasn’t looking for a cat at all—she already had two at home.

“My former coworker and volunteer at CCS, Melissa, showed me around the shelter after I dropped off the food. We went into the room with older kittens. This little fur ball ran up to me and jumped into my arms. The rest is history!

“Buster has done great! The plan was to keep him separate from his older brothers, Rex and Crawley. But within a day they were all playing, cuddling, etc. I can't imagine my cat family without little Bustah Rhymes.

“Buster is the most loving, well behaved cat. He loves playing with wand toys and lasers. Buster is a master cuddler and loves baring his belly. He loves raw pork and canned salmon and always comes running into the kitchen when he hears me open cheese. The stinkier the better! When he's not resting belly up, he likes being curled up in the hammocks of the cat tree.

“I couldn't be happier that I walked into CCS on Oct 8th all those years ago. Buster was meant to complete my cat family and he's brought nothing but joy into all of our lives. Thank you Cat Care Society!”

Meet Xavia, a sweet 2-year-old dilute tortie with a gentle meow.🐾 While in foster, she loved to play with squeaky mice and feather toys! Though she isn't fond of being picked up, she will settle for a purr-filled snuggle on your chest, as long as cheek scritches are provided. She might be a bit shy at first, but we’re confident she’ll blossom in a loving home.

Meet Gwen, a 6-year-old fluffy tabby with striking eyes and an adorable face. When she's not serving looks she's likely napping in a cardboard box getting her well-deserved beauty rest. Gwen appreciates gentle face pets and is still getting used to the shelter, but we think her personality will truly shine in a home environment. This stunning diva is sure to win over the hearts of any lucky adopter!

We have an from Kristin who adopted Poker (now Rishi) this past August! Rishi means "wise one or Sage" in Sanskrit. Kristin says that all you have to do is look into his eyes...they are mesmerizing. Kristin wasn’t looking for a specific type of cat, just one that made her heart skip a beat!

“Rishi came into my home and owned the place within the first minute. He LOVES it here!

“He is doing really, really well. He is happy and thriving. He sleeps with me every night, snuggles like a teddy bear and follows me around the house. He loves sleeping on the living room chairs or the couch during the day. He loves playing with his catnip toys or basically anything on the end of a string!

“He's doing great! He settled in almost immediately and is so happy. Archduke's favorite places to sleep are on one of the cat beds throughout the house or especially on me or anyone who stops by! His favorite toys are those little mice, string toys (with feathers specifically), and anything big enough for him to bite and kick at the same time.

“He especially loves sitting in the window, sunbathing or going outside on the deck to catch a breath of fresh air (even in the winter!)”
