Here are some photos and videos of adoptable Kida in her foster home! Her foster family had this to say about her: Kida has been such an easy and lovely houseguest. She loves playing fetch and going for hikes, but is also content to engage full couch potato mode in the house. She doesn’t bark, hasn’t gotten into anything, and is fine in the house without being supervised or crated. We’re not seeing any separation anxiety or stranger danger. She also is so excited to see new people and needs a little help with jumping and leash manners. Apply to meet sweet Kida by going to ark-valley.org

2-month-old Megamouth was a kitten brought to Ark-Valley Humane Society from a feral cat colony in Salida of almost 50 cats and kittens.

A kind community member has been helping trap these cats and bringing them to our vet partners for spaying/neutering. This will help stabilize the population of homeless cats and support their health and welfare as they are also being vaccinated. Cats that are too feral to be comfortable living in a home were relocated to live as barn cats.

There were many kittens in the colony, including Megamouth, that were good candidates for regular adoptions, but needed time to grow and feel more comfortable with people. Thanks to our wonderful foster network, these kittens were placed in homes so that they could be cared for and socialized.

After being given ample time and care, Megamouth was ready to be neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Now he, and other kittens from the colony are ready to find loving homes!

Megamouth is also this week's of the Rockies Radio News Pet of the week!

Check him out along with other cats and kittens available for adoption at: https://www.ark-valley.org/adopt/cats

Thank you again to everyone coming together for this feral colony and helping them find homes, safety, and positively impacting their welfare!
