Testimonials
We have a $25,000 match if we are able to raise $25,000 by December 9!
2025, our fifth year in operation, was our best year yet. Our adoption success had us meet last year's numbers by November 19!
Our foster and volunteer network also continues to grow, and our hearts have been warmed by the number of people who have stepped up to socialize cats in the shelter space while they undergo ringworm treatment. We also continue to provide care for neonates with an always-expanding neonate fosters program.
Mission
Denver Cat Rescue works with Denver's cat cafe, Denver Cat Company, to connect cats with their forever homes. Many rural areas face overcrowding in shelters and a lack of adopters. Meanwhile, cafe kitties steal the hearts of visitors and get adopted in record time.
Our mission is to connect the dots between these two needs, with a focus on adult cats.
Background Statement
Denver Cat Rescue was founded in 2019 to give high-risk cats a chance to connect with a loving family in the Denver Metro area. DCR partners with shelters and rescues across rural Colorado as well as in half a dozen other states to transport and foster cats and provides them with exposure to an enriching and socializing environment through DCR's sister organization, Denver Cat Company. This cat café offers a unique adoption experience for the cats and the community where patrons are able to truly get to know their future companions in a cage-free, interactive environment. This model has resulted in a 99% placement rate and less than 5% surrenders. Moreover, due to the transparency of this model, many families who can no longer keep their loved cats will choose to place them for adoption through DCR because they are confident their cat will not sit for months in a cage without love or attention.
