Cat-astrophically cute: 5 charming cats to adopt now in Colorado SpringsPhotos: Petfinder

Interested in adopting a pet — or just looking at some charming cats? There are dozens of darling cats up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Colorado Springs.

Animal shelters work hard to care for unhoused pets and connect them to loving homes. Hoodline used data from Petfinder to power this roundup of cats currently available for adoption.

Hoodline offers data-driven analysis of local happenings and trends across cities. Details like pet availability, training, vaccinations and other features are based on data provided by Petfinder and may be subject to change; contact the shelter for the latest information.

Flick, domestic mix

Darling Flick is a male domestic mix being kept at Happy Cats Haven.

No need to worry: He's already house-trained. He has all of his shots, and he's been neutered.

Flick plays well with others — he's happy to keep company with other cats.

From Flick's caretaker:

Flick wants to be your eternal lap warmer, even if he doesn't always want to be petted. He loves attention, but he's not sure when the love is gonna come with some discomfort, so he'll nip when he's nervous. That's why he needs someone with the patience to earn his trust. He wants to be near (or on) humans all the time, but because of his complex conversational behavior, he won't be good for young children or an excitable household.

Percy, domestic shorthair mix

Percy is a female domestic shorthair mix staying at Happy Cats Haven.

She has all of her shots, and she's been spayed. She has mastered her house-training etiquette.

There's no information on Percy's profile about how she does with children or other animals, so it's worth asking Happy Cats Haven directly.

What my friends at Happy Cats Haven think of me:

I'm a 5-year-old black panther girl looking for a new lap I can curl up on and love. I'm a secret valentine, which means I might be a little shy at first but once I get to know you I will be your best friend. I would do well in a home with older children and other pets that are kind.

Silverbell, domestic shorthair mix

Lovable Silverbell is a female domestic shorthair mix currently housed at Happy Cats Haven.

She is vaccinated, and she's been spayed. She is already house-trained.

Silverbell's friends say:

I'm a 3-year-old tiger ready to find my new forever home. An Ideal family for me is a family with no dogs and no young children. I also don't like being picked up or restrained, so a family that understands that would be amazing. I get along with other cats and can be quite the snuggle bunny.

Nigel, domestic shorthair mix

Charming Nigel is a male domestic shorthair mix staying at Happy Cats Haven.

His vaccinations are up to date, and he's been neutered. He's already house-trained.

Contact Happy Cats Haven for information about Nigel's compatibility with kids and other pets.

Here's what Nigel's friends say:

I am a sweet boy that is more on the shy side. I am also very smart and like puzzle feeders and goody balls. I am so smart that I learned how to open doors. I would do well in most homes, but since I scare easily, I would probably do best in a home with older children. If you have other pets I will probably be OK with them as long as they are nice and calm.

Leah, domestic shorthair mix

Leah is a female domestic shorthair mix currently housed at Happy Cats Haven.

She has all of her shots, and she's been spayed. She's mastered her house-training etiquette.

Contact Happy Cats Haven for information about Leah's compatibility with kids and other pets.

From Leah's caretaker:

I am a blast to watch as I do my funny antics of tackling toys and running through the house with my best friend/brother Todd. We occasionally wrestle with each other, and when we are all done playing together we will cuddle up together and take a nap. I don't like to be picked up, but I like to be around you once I get to know you. ... My brother Todd and I have been through a lot together and we need to stay together. We would do best in a home with older children and adults.
