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!
(132)

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.

We have an from Jennifer who adopted Truffles in April 2024 after he caught Jennifer’s attention on our website!

“We were looking for a cat with a chill temperament since we live in a bus and needed a cat that would be okay with that lifestyle. Besides that, we weren’t looking for anything specific! We chose June because she was super relaxed when we met her and she climbed into my lap immediately when I knelt down. She is still the sweetest and we’re so glad we chose her!

“When I first got Truffles from the shelter he was very scared, timid, and frightened. He would hide under my bed as his safe spot for a while. He still does but now he interacts more with the family, he loves to play, he loves exploring the house, and although he might get startled easily and hide still, his personality is finally starting to show and he is becoming more comfortable and trusting in others.

“Truffles likes to be awake and up early in the morning, and sleeps throughout the night. Of course he has his random midnight zoomies. He loves taking naps throughout the day especially after some playtime. His favorite toys are the wands, particularly with bells. He loves his cat tree, which happens to be next to the window. He loves looking out the window, it’s one of his favorite sleeping spots!

“I am incredibly proud of Truffles and the progress he has made adjusting to his new home. It hasn’t been easy, but it has been rewarding and awesome taking care of him.”

We have an from Allyson who adopted June on June 1, 2024!

“We were looking for a cat with a chill temperament since we live in a bus and needed a cat that would be okay with that lifestyle. Besides that, we weren’t looking for anything specific! We chose June because she was super relaxed when we met her and she climbed into my lap immediately when I knelt down. She is still the sweetest and we’re so glad we chose her!

“June adjusted to her new home almost immediately. We made sure to give her her own cozy corner with a bed and toys, and she loves sleeping in the dash of our school bus. She does really well in the car and either sleeps in the passenger seat or in my lap.

“She eats and drinks well and doesn’t make any messes or scratch anything she’s not supposed to. June had a cold and was sneezing a lot when we adopted her, but is doing much better now and is in perfect health. She is so snuggly and loves to be in our laps, go for walks outside with her harness, and watch chipmunks from the window. She is perfect :)

“We’re thankful for you all and how well you take care of your cats! We would definitely adopt from you again in the future! We are also so grateful that you allowed us to adopt a cat even though we live in a bus.”

"Hi, I'm Blue! I'm a sweet, 9-year-old boy ready to find a loving family! I usually spend my days in various cozy spots around the shelter. I think I get overlooked sometimes because I'm too busy napping to approach anyone, but once you meet me you'll find out I'm actually super sweet and affectionate! If I crawl into your lap you're not going anywhere until I get all my cuddles and pets. Please take me home today!"

“Igor has settled in really well. He has made friends quickly with our other cat Niko and is very affectionate and loves to cuddle.

Olivia is one of our longest-stay kitties hitting 318 days today. While Olivia does have a sassy side, she does have a very sweet side that often gets missed. Olivia is an FIV+ kitty, which goes overlooked in shelters that treat cats like her due to a lack of understanding of the disease. She unfortunately has gone through many roommates this past year and has yet to find her furever home! If you’re interested this chonky gal, stop by our shelter or check her out on our website!
