Garth — 53 days waiting for his person.

A shy dreamsicle with a bottomless appetite and permanent bedhead

Garth — sometimes still answering to "Lil Messy" — came to us with an eye injury that's fast on its way to healing. He always looks like he just rolled out of bed after sleeping in his hair, and honestly, it's part of his charm. He's a shy boy with newcomers, but give him time — or better yet, offer him a bite of whatever you're snacking on, and he snaps right out of it. This boy is a food-driven little munchkin. He's come a long way since day one, when he wouldn't let anyone close — "don't even look at me," his body language said, always hiding. Since his eye was deemed non-contagious and he's been integrated with the other babies, he's become much easier to socialize and handle, and he's been getting solo cuddle time at night, curling up in a cozy spot while I sleep. He's a gorgeous light-orange dreamsicle of a kitten, and he's going to grow into quite the model boy.

Best traits

Gentle, food-motivated, and a secret nighttime cuddler

Favorite nap spot

Curled against his human's side, once the lights are out

Dinner

Yes. All of it. Especially yours.

Favorite toy

A crinkle ball he can bat around at 2 a.m.

Signature move

Waking up with bedhead that somehow looks better than yours

Spooks — 36 days waiting for her person.

A dainty little shadow who would like to be held like a baby, thank you very much

Spooks is a stunning 13-week-old black kitten with a soft, velvety coat and eyes like little moons — and she is a baby in every sense of the word. She came to us thoroughly babied by her mama and would very much like to keep it that way, thank you. Her brother has already found his forever home, so now it's Spooks's turn. Her favorite thing in the entire world is being cradled in your arms like an infant, and she'll stay there as long as you'll let her. She's still getting used to having other kittens around — she had mama all to herself — so a quiet home where she can be the center of your world suits her best. One important note: Spooks startles easily if she's snuck up on, so soft voices and slow movements are her dream. Give her that and she'll give you a lifetime of the sweetest, most devoted companionship. If you've been looking for a kitten to spoil absolutely rotten, Spooks is already packed.

Best traits

Velvety, devoted, and a professional lap ornament

Favorite nap spot

Cradled in your arms like the infant she knows she is

Dinner

Served promptly, please. She's a lady of routine.

Favorite toy

Soft blankets she can knead into submission

Signature move

The instant purr — she starts before you even pick her up

Cooper — 47 days waiting for his person.

Sweet, striking, and quietly independent — with the most gorgeous green eyes

Meet Cooper — a handsome, sweet, very striking boy with a dark charcoal tabby coat and the most gorgeous light green eyes. He's spent most of his life outdoors, and it shows: he's confident, observant, and full of quiet character. Cooper isn't faring well with the other cats where he is right now, so he'd do best as the one and only. Because of his outdoor history, his ideal home would still let him enjoy safe, occasional outdoor access once he's had plenty of time to acclimate indoors first — a catio would be absolute perfection for Mister Cooper. He'll still need to be neutered, and we'll make that easy: GVPA offers a low-cost neuter voucher you can use at Cottonwood Vet or Arrowhead Vet in Fruita. If you have a calm home, a soft spot for a soulful, striking boy, and maybe a porch in your future, Cooper would love to meet you.

Best traits

Handsome, observant, and unbothered in the best possible way

Favorite nap spot

A sunny windowsill with a view of his kingdom

Dinner

A quiet bowl with no roommates crowding him

Favorite toy

Anything that moves on its own — he's a watcher first, hunter second

Signature move

The slow blink of approval from across the room

available

Gizmo — 64 days waiting for his person.

A tiny tornado with a secret soft side

Gizmo is a fearless little black kitten with enough energy to power a small city, and he is — in every sense of the word — all things cat. The pouncing, the climbing, the 3 a.m. zoomies, the unshakeable belief that every countertop was built specifically for him: that's Gizmo. He's first to start a play-wrestle and last to back down, and he has never once met a box, bag, or cardboard tube he didn't need to conquer. But here's the secret nobody expects: when he finally wears himself out, he melts into a lap, purrs like a little motor, and lets you hold him like a baby. He's the kitten who will make you laugh out loud every single day and curl up with you every single night. Personality for days, love for years — that's Gizmo.

Best traits

Fearless, hilarious, endlessly confident — and secretly the sweetest lap cat in the house

Favorite nap spot

Wherever he last knocked something off the counter

Dinner

Whatever's on your plate. He's just checking. For you.

Favorite toy

Boxes, bags, and anything that crinkles — bonus points if it was expensive

Signature move

The 3 a.m. hallway sprint, followed immediately by a full lap-melt

available

Padmé — 64 days waiting for her person.

A talkative snuggle queen with a raspy little voice and a whole lot of opinions

Padmé is the sweetest little girl, about 3 to 5 months old, and she is a talker. She has opinions, and she would like to share them — all of them — in a delightfully raspy little voice that will have you wrapped around her tiny paw from day one. Ask her anything; she'll answer. For all her chatter, Padmé is above all a snuggle queen: her favorite place in the whole world is curled up against you, purring, ideally while being told she's the prettiest girl in the house. She's thoroughly enjoyed her reign as the only lady in the house, a position she takes very seriously, and she loves her catio time and hanging out with her foster big brother, Scooter. If you're looking for a cat who'll greet you with a whole story and then nap on your chest, Padmé is your girl.

Best traits

Chatty, affectionate, and takes her reign as the prettiest girl very seriously

Favorite nap spot

Your chest, ideally while being reminded that she's the prettiest girl in the house

Dinner

Anything, as long as she's eating it right next to you

Favorite toy

Hair ties and her foster brother's tail

Signature move

The full conversation — you ask, she answers, in that raspy little voice

available

Big Bob — 64 days waiting for his person.

A confident tiny king who prefers people to cats

Big Bob is a 1-year-old brown tabby with the presence of a tiny king. He's not aggressive — he just carries himself like the top cat in any room, and other cats tend to step aside for him. He's very much a people cat: he'd rather be in your lap or following you from room to room than wrestling with a feline roommate. Because of his commanding little vibe, he'd do best as the one and only pet in a household where he gets all the attention — and he'll give every bit of it right back. Hasn't met dogs yet, so a slow, patient introduction would be best.

Best traits

Regal, people-obsessed, and utterly sure of himself

Favorite nap spot

The highest point in the house — his throne, obviously

Dinner

First, and preferably without an audience

Favorite toy

Whatever the humans happen to be using

Signature move

The slow, deliberate room survey before gracing your lap

available

Bianca — 64 days waiting for her person.

A gorgeous, clever mama ready for her own next chapter

Bianca recently raised her own litter and has successfully weaned her babies — she's now ready to live the healthy, stress-free, happy life she's earned. Her spay is still ahead, and it can be done affordably with a low-cost GVPA voucher at Cottonwood Vet or Arrowhead Vet in Fruita — just ask us and we'll walk you through it. She's gorgeous to look at and clever as they come, and this girl is sure to add a special little dose of intrigue to your life. After giving so much to her kittens, she's more than ready to be the one getting spoiled for a while. Hasn't met dogs yet.

Best traits

Intelligent, elegant, and officially done raising everybody

Favorite nap spot

A warm sunbeam she doesn't have to share

Dinner

Served on time, please. She's earned it.

Favorite toy

A quiet string, chased with dignity

Signature move

The raised eyebrow at your life choices

pending

Winifred — 64 days waiting for her person.

Sharp as a tack and a little elusive — but oh so worth the wait

Winifred (Winnie) is Bianca's offspring, and she takes after her mama in both looks and brains. She's sharp as a tack and a little elusive at first — she takes her time to acclimate, and then does so like she was never shy to begin with. Once she's warmed up and decided "hey, it's not so bad here… actually, it's pretty good here," she'll surprise you with just how affectionate and charming she can be. Winnie and Poe are a bonded pair, making their way to their new foster home together, and they'd love to be adopted as a duo. Patience with Winnie pays off in spades. Hasn't met dogs yet.

Best traits

Clever, elegant, and secretly very affectionate

Favorite nap spot

Wherever Poe is

Dinner

Calm and quiet, with no competition at the bowl

Favorite toy

Anything that makes her think — she likes a challenge

Signature move

Vanishing completely, then reappearing on your shoulder

available

Dora — 6 days waiting for her person.

A quiet survivor who's ready to trade four years outside for a soft place of her own

Meet Dora — a beautiful calico girl who was left behind when her family moved away, and who has been living outside on her own ever since. That was about four years ago. She's done what it takes to survive: she's already spayed, she's healthy, and she has managed remarkably well by herself. Now she deserves the soft landing she never got. Dora is a sweet, gentle soul who keeps to herself until she trusts you, and she does just fine as an only cat — no roommates required. She is currently in New Mexico and can be transported to Colorado and the surrounding states for the right home. If you have a quiet house, a sunny window, and the patience to let a shy girl settle in at her own pace, Dora would love to finally be somebody's cat.

Best traits

Quiet, resilient, and quietly affectionate once she trusts you

Favorite nap spot

Somewhere warm and out of the wind — a sunny windowsill suits her perfectly

Dinner

A full bowl, on the house, every single day from now on

Favorite toy

Not picky — she's far more interested in a lap than a laser pointer

Signature move

The slow, hard-won head bump once she's decided you're hers

adopted

The friendliest cat we've ever met — white mittens, chipmunk cheeks, zero shyness

Marty (yes, like McFly) is a 10–12 month old orange and white boy who walked out of his carrier and straight into our hearts with zero hesitation. Most cats need time to settle in; Marty asked for love the moment he arrived and let himself be picked up immediately — no hiding, no shyness, no warming-up period. He even opened a window himself and snuck out on his one big adventure, and when we went out after him, he walked right up to be carried back inside. Little white mittens on all four feet, the chunkiest chipmunk cheeks, and the rarest, most open personality you'll ever come across. If we could keep him, we would — he is an absolute gem. Hasn't met dogs yet.

Best traits

Unbelievably social, instantly trusting, and impossible not to love

Favorite nap spot

Wherever you are. He's not picky.

Dinner

Anything, immediately, with total enthusiasm

Favorite toy

The window latch — he's a confirmed escape artist

Signature move

Walking right up to be carried, like it's simply his due

available

Cali — 64 days waiting for her person.

Shy at first, then a purring lap-warmer sweeter than sugar

Cali is a black almost-chimera calico who is the very definition of sweeter than sugar. She's a total ham when it comes to loves and snuggles — shy at first, but the moment she comes out of her shell your lap will never be cold again, and purring becomes your new nonstop background noise. She's looking for someone patient enough to let her settle in on her own timeline, and in return she'll make your couch her kingdom and your lap her throne. Hasn't met dogs yet, so a gentle introduction would be best.

Best traits

Sweet, snuggly, and a world-class purr machine

Favorite nap spot

Your lap. It's hers now — she'll let you know.

Dinner

A quiet bowl, followed by a chin scratch as a thank you

Favorite toy

A wand toy she pretends not to care about

Signature move

The shell-cracking — shy one day, velcroed to you the next

available

Goat — 64 days waiting for his person.

A soft-spoken sweetheart with a battering-ram headbutt

Now answering to "Goat" (the name stuck because he headbutts like nobody's business when the mood strikes), this 1-year-old grey tabby is a quiet, gentle soul with a forehead made of iron. He's soft-spoken and sweet, and the moment he decides you're his person, he's your best friend for life. Goat came to us after being picked on by the male cats in his previous home — a common story, since males (even neutered ones) can get territorial with each other, and a gentler boy often ends up on the losing end of that dynamic. Females don't tend to trigger the same response, so he's expected to do beautifully in a home with a female cat — or as the only pet, soaking up all the love. Hasn't met dogs yet.

Best traits

Gentle, loyal, and the undisputed headbutt champion

Favorite nap spot

Pressed against his person — ideally on their keyboard

Dinner

Twice, if you're not watching closely

Favorite toy

Your ankles, affectionately

Signature move

The surprise headbutt that nearly takes you off your feet

pending

Poe — 64 days waiting for his person.

Fearless, unwavering, and steady as a stoic little Caesar

Poe is steady as they come — even for a kitten. He's fearless and unwavering; think of him as a stoic little Caesar, if Caesar had fur and could purr. Nothing rattles him, and he carries himself with a calm, quiet confidence that's genuinely rare in such a young cat. Poe and Winifred are a bonded pair, currently making their way to their new foster home together, and they're looking for a forever family who'll welcome them both. If you want a companion with composure far beyond his years, Poe's your guy. Hasn't met dogs yet.

Best traits

Unshakeable, calm, and confident far beyond his years

Favorite nap spot

Wherever Winifred is

Dinner

Calm, collected, and first to finish

Favorite toy

Anything he can conquer

Signature move

The unshakeable stare of a cat who has never once panicked
