Li'l G, a senior kitty who had been residing in the Cat Care Society shelter for over 2 years, was recently adopted through our Purina "Pets for People 55+" Program. We're so thrilled that this wonderful cat has found her forever home.
Also, at Cat Care Society, when adopting a senior cat, we offer our Perpet-U-Care program. Cat Care Society will cover the costs up to $250 per calendar year of free veterinary services at The Cat Clinic at Cat Care Society to help offset the costs of adopting a senior cat (age 10+ years). Link to learn more.
Note: Li'l G was adopted under the Purina "Pets for People 55+" Program. To partake, bring this flyer to Cat Care Society.

"In Colorado, the following shelters participate in the Purina 55+ program: Aurora Animal Shelter, Fort Morgan Humane Society, Humane Society of Fremont County, Chihuahua and Small Dog Rescue, Cat Care Society and Southern Colorado Spay/Neuter Association."

Cat Care Society Is A Participating Colorado Shelter: 'Purina Offers Free Cat or Dog Adoption For 55+'
Quoting from Mile High On The Cheap's posting:
"The unconditional love of a pet is priceless at any age. And, if you’re 55 or older, the adoption itself is priceless — thanks to Purina. Of course, the iconic pet food brand is committed to finding a loving home for all cats and dogs. However, it’s even more important to find your new family member at a shelter. That’s why they offer Purina-funded adoptions (a.k.a FREE) for those 55 and older at participating shelters across the country — while funds are available. In Colorado, the following shelters participate in the program: Aurora Animal Shelter, Fort Morgan Humane Society, Humane Society of Fremont County, Chihuahua and Small Dog Rescue, Cat Care Society and Southern Colorado Spay/Neuter Association."

$5,000 feeds 60 cats for 9 months
$2,500 provides carrying cases, collars, tags, and starter toys for all cats adopted into their forever homes from our shelter for 1 year
$1,000 provides complete care for 30 kittens, including shots, spaying/neutering, microchips, food, and litter
$500 provides medical care for a senior cat (10+ years) for a year

Let's find Boss his forever home! CCS Volunteer Kay Higgins Takes Boss to 9News Petline9 This Morning
CCS Volunteer Kay Higgins took handsome Boss to 9News Petline9 today with Becky Ditchfield and Danielle Grant.
"Boss is 2 years old. He was found wandering in a Home Depot parking lot.
He is neutered, micro chipped, tested negative for disease, and vaccinated for distemper and URI and dewormed. He has medium length hair and is a brown tabby. He has a good appetite and loves his canned food twice a day.
He is very friendly, loves to be petted. He is looking for an indoor home with lots of love.
He was in a home and could not get along with the older male cat. He DID get along great with the 5 year old girl, and even slept with her. He will greet you when you come home and is affectionate and is a talker.
He is waiting for you at Cat Care Society!"
