Cat Care Society

Cat Care Society is a private, non-profit cat shelter founded in 1981 that was established in order to improve the quality of life for homeless, injured and abused cats 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 positive for FIV or FeLV, or have been diagnosed with chronic health conditions such as diabetes or kidney disease. We also pride ourselves in finding these cats loving homes and educating cat owners on the care requirements for cats with special needs.

As a limited-admission shelter, we only accept new cats as quickly as our current cats can find homes, and only if we have the space and resources to properly care for them. We provide a temporary refuge for cats in need until an appropriate and permanent home can be found for each. Veterinary care, premium diet and human interaction are lovingly provided by dedicated staff and volunteers. Approximately 800 cats come into our care each year!

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 dedicated 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.

Our Mission
