Denver Cat Rescue

Denver Cat Rescue (DCR) works with overcrowded county shelters to find homes for at risk cats via its sister organization, Denver Cat Company. We are a small foster-based organization that is entirely funded by individual donations, so we rely on your help to make our work possible. 

Testimonials

"We have worked with Denver Cat Rescue, directly and indirectly, for several years now. They helped us by taking nearly 80 cats last year. Denver Cat Rescue will take the cats in need that other rescues will not; they are adults whereas people want kittens. Often, they have great personalities but they are black or ordinary tabbies, who tend not to be desired by the few adopters available in our area. EPAWA rescues cats from feeding stations that have been abandoned who have no prospects without the option to come to the cat cafe via Denver Cat Rescue where their personalities can shine and attract adopters. Because of Denver Cat Rescue, these unwanted cats end up in great homes vetted through a careful application process. Denver Cat Rescue also supports us by covering the cost of vetting and is a source of funding for us. We are able to save more cats because Denver Cat Rescue is doing the work it does." - Terrill Bartels, President, Eastern Plains Animal Welfare Alliance

"We have had the pleasure of working with Denver Cat Rescue since 2020. Through our partnership, DCR has placed approximately 200 cats and kittens from our organization into loving forever homes, an opportunity that would not have been afforded to these kitties had they stayed here in Texas. The overpopulation of homeless cats and kittens in Texas is beyond heartbreaking, particularly in the West Texas area, where shelters are overflowing with cats year-round and spay/neuter laws are nonexistent. DCR has given these cats a true chance of lifetime, where they can spend the rest of their lives in amazing indoor homes, rather than suffering on the streets and struggling to survive here in Texas. The impact of the lifesaving work that DCR pours their hearts into for these innocent creatures truly cannot be understated." - Kat Livingston, Director, Kat's Alley Cats

"Denver Cat Rescue has been a very valuable resource for SW Kansas cats. Cats in our are rarely get reclaimed from the shelter and are at constant risk of euthanasia. Denver Cat Rescue has helped our small shelter with over 65 cats. FIV positive cats have found amazing homes via this organization. Our shelter is constantly over capacity and having a trustworthy organization to send them to is the live outcome we need! Many friendly and social adult cats who have been overlooked by adopters because they prefer kittens or because of an ear tip on a formerly feral cat have found a safe haven here. We are eternally grateful for the opportunity to get cats out alive to a top tier organization like Denver Cat Rescue." - Ashelei Cruz, Director of Operations/Transport Manager, Finney County Humane Society
