LOTS OF GREAT NEW CATS--Please come by and check them out.

Max

Max is one delicious hunk of a fellow, well built and large-boned. He is the definitive all-American, domestic short hair, gray and black striped tabby who came to the shelter due to allergies in his previous family. You’ll find him an all-around winner with engaging ways. Max is only a four-year-old, so he’ll be an especially affable and affectionate pal for a long time to come.

Tom
The expression “tomcat” came from a 1700’s English novel—the hero, known to enjoy the favors of many neighborhood females, was named Tom. The term coined “tomcatting” has lasted to this day, suggesting one predisposed to the allure of multiple relationships. Our shelter Tom exudes similar qualities, but only to the extent that he’s a real lover boy—meeting, greeting, curling up on the lap of anyone who approaches. With such an appealing personality the staff is sure he’ll be adopted in no time! Taffy striped DSH male, 6 years.

Tut
Tut, a.k.a. King Tutankhamun, is a loving cat who was originally adopted from another shelter as an abused cat. He does occasionally like to swat at visitors! He lived with other cats and dogs. He was not really a fan of the dogs—he only tolerated them. He also lived with older children. Tut likes to ride in cars. He is a great mouser. He does not like to be brushed and is semi-trained to the litter box. He has had some spraying issues in the past but it may well have been because of living with the dogs. Tut is a gorgeous 10-year-old domestic long-hair male.

Coco and Callie

Coco (on the right) was turned in from the Snowmass Village area along with her best buddy Callie (on the left). Coco is a soft gray and white tabby with what appears to be impeccable manners and disposition. She’s adjusting nicely to her quarters and companions at the shelter, but would be most content if she could be relocated with Callie to the arms of a new owner. She’ll purr her way into your heart faster than you can say Jack Robinson!


What’s not to love about calicos with their unusual blends of orange, black and white coloring—Callie’s a classic example of the type. A domestic short hair, Callie would happily go with her playmate to enjoy a lifetime of feline adventures in a safe and sound, loving milieu. Callie’s appearance will draw admiring glances and rave reviews from everyone she encounters. Both are 3-year-old females.

Foxy was ADOPTED January 25th
Foxy came to us from a trailer park in Basalt where she was running loose and living outside. We are still gathering information about her but we know she recently had kittens. We had her spayed. She is a domestic medium-hair Tortoise Shell. She is a bit scared right now but will probably come around once she gets more socialization from staff and volunteers. Foxy is a beautiful cat. Female, 1.5 years.

Latte
So, what’s your favorite coffee concoction? If it’s an ever-delicious, thirst-quenching, energy-restoring latte, then our girl Latte the Cat will fulfill your every desire. She’s got a big personality to match her fashionable calico fur coat and is looking for new frontier territory to show off her many talents—one of which we hear is a most stellar ability as a mouser. Do come in to meet her—you won’t be disappointed! Female, 4 years.
Please ask staff for additional information about her. She came in very scared and is still trying to adjust to shelter life. Note: Latte doesn’t like to go back in her cage once out—who could blame her— so we will have to wait a while longer before we can get a photo of her that will show her real beauty.

Jessica was ADOPTED January 5th

Jessica came to the shelter as an outdoor survivor from Old Snowmass. Despite her challenging background, she’s remarkably calm, even-tempered and gracious to everyone. Having left the forest wilds to become a domesticated town dweller, the gentle Jessica will be a grateful household tabby—wiling away her hours on the sofa or quietly observing goings-on about her. Female, 3 years.

Mr. Whiskers was ADOPTED January 29th
Mr. Whiskers began life as a happy-go-lucky, carefree mountain tabby who unfortunately was hit by a car and left with a broken left hind leg. He has now undergone successful surgery by our friends at the Aspen Animal Hospital and is well on his way to recovery. The genial Mr. Whiskers has remained patient throughout the ordeal and will soon welcome adoption into a warm, welcoming family – one to match his remarkably courageous style. Male, 1.5 years.

Casper
Casper is a 12-year-old flame-point male Remember Casper the Ghost of cartoon renown? Don’t believe our Casper is any relation, rather he is an all-white Siamese with flame-point orange markings and inquiring blue eyes. An impeccably behaved, generously sized gentleman, Casper hasn’t missed many meals—but it’s all muscle, no fat on this cat! He’s healthy and seeking a comfortable environment to spend with his owner as a quiet mature partner in an easygoing home. Just look at those beautiful eyes! Male, 12 years.
Jasmine was ADOPTED February 8th
Jasmine’s name bespeaks all the beauty and elegance of the Himalayan breed. Originally developed in the 1930’s Himalayans were conceived as a blend of Siamese coloration and Persian body type and temperament, officially recognized by the CFA in 1957. Himalayans are highly affectionate, good-natured cats with a preference for tranquil settings in close proximity to their home and hearth, always keeping an eye and ear on family coming and goings. Bluepoint Jasmine will be a most pleasing companion. Female, 3 years.
Redstone
Redstone is a domestic short-hair tabby mix female. She is beautiful and white and grey in color. She is older in her years and would make a wonderful companion for a single person. Just look at her soulful, loving eyes.
Dizzy
Dizzy’s the ultimate Mr. Personality—outgoing, friendly, a playful charmer. He enjoys everyone’s company equally and would be perfectly suited for any agreeable setting. Maybe he’s a bit like his namesake, forties major league baseball player and sportscaster Dizzy Dean, who was renowned for his sense of humor and effervescent personality. Dizzy will keep you amused at every turn. Male, 9 years.

He is squinting in this photo as he was recovering from an eye infection.
The camera’s flash bothered his eyes. He is fine now.

Domino
Yet another elegant member of the tuxedo family—decked out in glistening black coat accompanied by hints of bright white artfully scattered about his torso. Mostly black with white paws—a real Tom cat (only fixed!) Think Clark Gable, James Bond—tall, dark and handsome prototypes. Domino will be a handsome addition to any domestic setting. Ask shelter staff for additional information. DSH, Male, 2 years.
Elvis
Think Texas size, even though superstar original Elvis Presley hailed from Tupelo, Mississippi. The shelter’s Elvis is a star in his own right—a decidedly handsome, generously sized, taffy-colored seven-year-old. Large round eyes and white accoutrements complete the dignified package. He’s good looking and knows it—quite an impressive presence. Elvis needs a solo setting where he can nap peacefully to his heart’s content while dreaming of tuna dishes awaiting in the kitchen. He is a great cat but he has some “house-keeping” issues—ask staff. DSH, male, 7 years.
Tux & Francine were ADOPTED January 25th and together for which we had hoped!
Tuxedo, Fluff’s littermate, was obviously named for his handsome black and white markings. Although not a longhair like his sister, he’s a large broad-boned domestic short hair with a big open personality. The gentle giant variety. Strong silent sort (but he does express himself quite firmly if need be). You know the type. He’ll be a special addition around the house. Male, DSH, 5 years.

While not exactly French as her name suggests, Francine does boast lovely gray and white markings reminiscent of a soft Parisian day. She’s the daughter of Fluff, yet short-haired and large-boned like her uncle Tuxedo. We may never know all the genetics involved, but however they came about, she’s a “jolie fille” who will fit in well in any domestic “milieu.” Female, DSH, 4 years.

Fluff
Fluff belongs to the black and white cat club—a most elite society since tuxedo cats are reputed to be the cleverest felines of all. Just ask their owners! Inventive, friendly characters they love company and become intensely loyal to their “persons.” Being the princess that she is, we think Fluff would flourish best in a well-appointed indoor environment. DLH, Female, 5 years.
Ding Ding
Bengals boast of being a particularly unusual breed. Sinewy descendants of the spotted wild cats of Asia’s Bengal area, the first Bengal hybrids were reputedly crossed with a domestic tabby cat in England. The modern version still retains a blend of eastern mystery with the open playfulness of the West. Toygers and Cheetohs are also new varieties of crossings with the original spotted leopard cats. Whatever the purity of her lineage, Ding Ding is a delightfully domesticated all-American indoor girl now. Female, 8 years, declawed (front).
Pumpkin
The eponymously named orange cat – round, plump and worthy of her moniker. Pumpkin is the proverbial Persian princess – does not suffer fools or brook intolerance from loyal subjects. Underneath her regal exterior, however, you’ll find a perfectly delightful feline – friendly and warm, just waiting for a new kingdom in which she can display those many charms. Female, 11 years.
Samantha
A petite lady of Himalayan bluepoint origin, Samantha was found in Carbondale. She’s a delicate creation with the most agreeable disposition. We think she’ll make any prospective owner a favorite pet—and adore being restored to all of her natural beauty! Samantha is best placed in a home without younger, hyper cats who will bother her and stress her out. Female, middle-aged perhaps, but she’s not telling.
Hocus
Hocus was turned in as a feral kitten. He is the resident King of the Cat Room and seems to be vrey happy in his life here. He has become a luscious, long-haired handsome guy—shy to the world at large, but wonderfully affectionate to those who take the time to befriend him. He would be perfect for a relaxed setting—ready and willing to be your adoring companion. Three-and-a-half-year-old male.
