Mission: At Happy Cats Haven, our mission is to rescue Colorado cats and kittens and find them new homes. Our vision is to make life better for all cats through adoptions and education. We are a non-profit, Fear Free rescue and adoption center and guarantee safe haven for all cats we take in. No healthy or treatable cat is euthanized, and our Live Release Rate is 98%, which means we meet the definition of a No-Kill Organization and exceed that of Socially Conscious Sheltering. More important than definitions, we back up this commitment by treating our cats as individuals–with respect, compassion and positive reinforcement. We focus on being fully feline-friendly. We believe that cats are valuable, lovable and trainable, not disposable. Feline Friendly means we treat our cats as individuals–with respect, compassion and positive reinforcement–to make their stay as stress-free as possible until they are adopted. We give both our cats and our adopters the gift of time, so everyone can relax and show their true personalities. Each adoption matches our deep understanding of our cats with their new families, handcrafted for a feline lifetime.
Results: We have placed just under 5,000 cats and kittens in loving homes since we opened in 2011! At Happy Cats, a forever home is the goal for each of our cats and kittens. Cats are not hardwired for community living, especially with other cats and dogs who start out as strangers to them, so we know that perfect match can be tricky. That’s why we don’t stop at adoption, but support our adoptions with regular follow-ups to make sure everything is going smoothly. Plus, we offer ongoing support with classes, online advice and referrals to our behavior consultant that continue long past adoption. Our adoptions are no-fault. If we need to take back one of our cats, our Happy Cats Safety Net is here for them, no matter the circumstance.
