Mr. Cheeks, an adult male cat up for adoption

Watch Mr. Cheeks's video

No one knows how Mr. Cheeks ended up living outside, but one thing is certain: he is grateful to be safe and warm indoors again.
Mr. Cheeks was clearly once a beloved pet and has quickly readjusted to the comforts of home - regular meals, cozy places to relax, and plenty of affection. Gentle, easygoing, and well-mannered, Mr. C is a delightful companion who appreciates the quieter side of life. He is happiest relaxing near his people, curling up on a lap when invited, enjoys all conversations, and receiving his absolute favorite treat: belly rubs.
He enjoys watching birds and squirrels through the window, but he has no interest in joining them outside. For other entertainment he likes ping pong balls, stuffed mice and wand toys. Mr. Cheeks has impeccable house manners. He doesn't scratch furniture, climb on countertops, or show much interest in cat trees, but show him a warm, soft blanket and he's a purring biscuit maker. If you're looking for a calm, affectionate companion who appreciates your attention and the comforts of home, Mr. Cheeks may be your perfect match.
Mr. Cheeks is estimated at 3-5 years old, and he's neutered, vaccinated, and tested negative for FIV/FELV.

2. Atomic Kitten

Adult · Female · Domestic Medium Hair / Russian Blue (medium coat) · 12 mi from Lone Tree

Atomic Kitten, an adult female cat up for adoption

Atomic Kitten is a sweet, playful girl with a serious love of freeze-dried treats and chin scratches. She runs, plays, and explores just like any other cat, then happily settles in for affection from her favorite person.She is a bit of an introvert and can be a little timid when adjusting to new people or situations. Atomic Kitten may not make the first move right away, so she would do best with someone who is comfortable initiating interaction and giving her the time she needs to feel safe. Once she chooses you as her person, her loving, affectionate side begins to shine.Atomic Kitten does well with other cats, but she is more interested in her people and does not require a feline companion in her future home. She could be happy with friendly cats or as the only kitty soaking up all the attention for herself.Atomic Kitten is also an FIP survivor. Her illness affected her muscle control, leaving her with some incontinence as a lasting effect. She has some bladder and bowel control, but frequent “sprinkles” and the occasional surprise poo make diapers the easiest way to keep her clean and comfortable. Her routine is much simpler than it may sound. She typically needs two or three diaper changes each day and a quick five-minute butt bath most days. Regular hygiene shaves also help make caring for her easier. Once you get the hang of it, her routine quickly becomes just another normal part of the day.Atomic Kitten doesn’t know she is a special-needs cat. She knows she is a snack connoisseur, professional toy chaser, and devoted companion who happens to wear diapers.She has already overcome the hardest part of her story. Now she is looking for a patient person willing to make the first move and give this extraordinary girl the safe, loving forever she deserves.She is currently being fostered in Lakewood, CO and approved applicants can meet her in home or if preferred her foster parent is happy to coordinate visits at Elevated Communities Cat Cafe if scheduled in advance.Please Note: Elevated Communities Cat Café is located in Longmont, Colorado. There is a $12 entry fee to visit the café, which helps support the care of the resident cats and the mission of Elevated Communities. Walk-ins are typically welcome or you can visit https://elevatedcommunitiescatcafe.org/visit to schedule your visit ahead of time.

3. Holstein

Holstein, a young female cat up for adoption

My Name is Holstien. It's an ironic name based on my coloring because I was the runt. When my family was found I was 1.5 weeks old and only about 60% as big as my siblings. Now i'm not the littlest but I am the bravest. I love eating and am a little round. My beautiful belly has a heart shaped mark on it. I sure do love people too. If you hold me I'll be so happy and if you play with me I'll be even happier. I'm a well balanced kitty, just the right amount of confidence and curiosity to be your forever friend.
I'm 9 weeks old, spayed and chipped.

Yang, a young female cat up for adoption

Hi name is Yang, I am so cuddly, playful too. If you hold me I'll just melt and relax into you. Napping together is great in between play sessions. My family was found abandoned when I was just 1.5 weeks old. My poor mom was starving. I've had the benefit of being raised by people and my loving mom. She loves people, so I do too. I think I'm pretty mellow. Sometimes I just watch my crazy siblings then I'll but it's ok to be pretty calm too. Some people think my ears are too big for army head. I look a little unique.
I'm 9 weeks old, spayed and chipped. My black and white coat is short and tidy. I have an old soul for a new kitty.

5. Yin

Young · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 12 mi from Lone Tree

My Name is Yin. I am so brave and playful. My mom was abandoned and took care of us alone until we all got fostered when I was 1.5 weeks. I'm the adventurer in the group so that means I love to play in new spaces like boxes, under sheets or anywhere adventure takes me. When I'm not playing or being curious I'll come sleep on your lap or sit on your shoulder like a parrot. I am just so much fun.
Please consider adopting me. I'm black and white and my short fur keeps things easy peasy. I'm 9 weeks old, chipped and spayed.

Meet Doolin — A Little Irish Luck and a Whole Lot of Love! Every cat has a story, but Doolin's begins with a little mystery!This handsome, ear-tipped gentleman appeared on a neighborhood porch one day, seemingly out of nowhere. Where he came from or what adventures he had before finding his way into foster care, we'll never know.

Those cautious glances turned into sweet slow blinks, and that once-reserved kitty began discovering just how wonderful human affection can be!Today, Doolin is a purring, affectionate sweetheart who eagerly seeks out his foster mom for attention! He happily rubs against her legs, nuzzles her hands, and turns on that wonderful little purr motor while soaking up all the love and scritches he can get. Watching his confidence blossom has been nothing short of magical!And as it turns out, Doolin is quite the gentleman! He respectfully greets the other cats in his foster home and doesn't seem the least bit bothered by the resident dogs.While Doolin has made incredible progress, he's still building confidence when it comes to being picked up. He'll need a patient, understanding family who will let him continue blossoming at his own pace. But if his journey so far is any indication, this sweet boy has so much more love waiting to be discovered!Doolin is living proof that sometimes the most beautiful relationships begin with a little patience and a whole lot of heart.His past may always be a mystery, but his future deserves to be filled with love, security, and a family of his very own. Could you be Doolin's lucky charm and give this special boy his happily ever after? ❤️

Celery + Onion, adult female cats up for adoption

Celery & Onion: Night Owls Seeking Their Kind of HumanWe are Celery and Onion, a bonded pair of clever, quirky cats who do things on our own schedule. We aren't your typical outgoing cats who will immediately greet you at the door, climb into your lap, or make themselves at home in a big, unfamiliar space. We need patience, understanding, and a human who knows that trust is earned rather than demanded. Our favorite time of day? Dusk, of course! That's when our whiskers twitch, our eyes brighten, and we begin our nightly adventures. We're true night owls, and we'd probably be happiest with someone who enjoys staying up late, appreciates a quiet household, and doesn't expect us to operate on a nine-to-five schedule.We're smart cats who have even learned to get used to the Roomba.

Milan, a young female cat up for adoption

Please email Paigesantini@yahoo.com if interested in adopting Milan
Milan is a sweet, loving, one-year-old tabby girl who was lucky enough to be born on the property of a Good Samaritan and friend of Animal Rescue of the Rockies who always cares for the kitties who show up on her property.
Milan was born to a feral mama cat, but Milan herself is sweet! She may take a few days to warm up, but then she loves cuddling, rubbing up against your legs, and playing (ping pong balls are a favorite). She also enjoys her catio and would be excited if her new home had one, though it isn't a requirement.
Milan could be adopted as a solo kitty, but she will most likely do well with other cats as well. She is currently living with another kitty, Kiwi, who she gets along well with (the second photo is Milan with Kiwi). She can be adopted with Kiwi if someone is looking for a pair, though Kiwi is much more skittish and will need a patient adopter. We don't know how Milan would do with dogs.
If you're interested in meeting Miss Milan, she is being fostered in Monument, CO. She is spayed and up to date on vaccines. Please reach out directly to Paige at Paigesantini@yahoo.com if you're interested!

How to adopt from Evergreen Animal Protective League
THE FIRST STEP to adopting an EAPL animal is to fill out a DOG ADOPTION APPLICATION. EAPL is a foster-based rescue. We do not have a shelter facility where applicants can come look at multiple animals at one time. All of our animals are in foster homes that range from Denver, to Evergreen, to Northeast Colorado - where they are loved and cared for until they are placed in a forever home. The adoption process begins when you complete an online Adoption Application, naming either one or a few of our Available Animals or providing a description of the type of animal you hope to adopt. Completing an application does not restrict you to a specific animal, nor does it obligate you to adopt. Once we have received your application and determined that you are a good match for the requested animal, we will contact you. The foster parent will then contact you to arrange a time for you to meet the animal, at which time you can decide if you would like to complete the adoption. You may be asked to visit the animal more than once before taking it home. After your initial meeting with the animal, one of our volunteers will conduct a home visit. This may occur before you take the animal home or when the animal is delivered to you. Once the adoption is approved, you will need to complete our Preliminary Adoption Agreement and pay the adoption fee. We will keep in contact over the next few days to make sure everyone is happy. If so, we will mail out an official Adoption Contract for

Adopting a cat in Lone Tree

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
