Interested in adopting a pet — or just looking at some lovable kitties near you? 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.

(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.)

She's been spayed and vaccinated. Fear not: She is already house-trained.

I am a very affectionate and sweet kitty who loves to play with crinkle balls and chase the laser light bug. I love to climb on cat trees and take naps with my humans. I also enjoy watching the squirrels and birds from a sunny window.

Here's what Rue's friends at Happy Cats Haven think of her:

Rue is an 11-month-old gal who will be by your side while you do tasks around the house and will throw in a head bonk for free. She is a little shy but highly food-motivated. She is currently bonded with her sister Rio, so they must go home together.

Rio, domestic shorthair and tabby mix

Rio is a darling female domestic shorthair and tabby mix being cared for at Happy Cats Haven.

Happy Cats Haven wants to place Rio in a home without small children or dogs. Her vaccinations are already up to date, and she has been spayed. She is already house-trained.

Here's what Rio's friends at Happy Cats Haven think of her:

You need to earn Rio's trust before she will show her true self. Once Rio trusts you, she will be by your side, helping with all your inside tasks. Rio is highly motivated by treats. She needs to find a home that has skills dealing with shy cats. She is currently bonded with her sister Rue, so they must go home together.

Daisy, domestic shorthair mix

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

She's been spayed, and she has all her shots. Fear not: She is already house-trained.

Daisy's current caretakers say:

Daisy may take a couple of minutes to make sure you're kind and caring before she gives her heart away. Once she is reassured, though, she becomes the most affectionate little companion you'd ever want. She seems to do well in most households that are more on the calm side.

Newt, Maine coon and tabby mix

Newt is a male Maine coon and tabby mix being cared for at Happy Cats Haven.

Newt is looking for a dog-free family. He will do best in a home without small children. He has mastered his house-training etiquette, and he has been vaccinated and neutered.

Notes on Newt:

My foster mom says I love head rubs and will come running for them if you snap your fingers. I really appreciate getting to know you well before being snuggled or picked up. If backed into a corner, I can go into defensive mode, but give me enough space to work it out and I'm your gentle giant. I'm a little afraid of men, so the fellows in the house may have to work a little harder to earn my trust.

Ocela, tabby and domestic shorthair mix

Ocela is a lovable female tabby and domestic shorthair mix being cared for at Happy Cats Haven.

No other pets please: Ocela is looking for a forever home without other dogs or cats. She's already house-trained, and she has been spayed and vaccinated.

More about Ocela:

I love to just hang out with my favorite people, rolling over on my back, flirting and purring (just no belly rubs please). I'm a perfect sidecar cat — the one who likes to be near you but not especially right on your lap. I tend to get excited with too much petting and move into play mode, which can make me seem aggressive. I really just want to play.

Sammy, Dilute tortoiseshell and tabby mix

Sammy is a female Dilute tortoiseshell and tabby mix currently housed at Happy Cats Haven.

She is already house-trained, vaccinated and spayed.

More about Sammy:

I am a snuggle bunny and enjoy giving people head bonks and loud purrs. At 12 years old, I still have a lot of love to give to my new family. My sister Sissy and I need to stay together.
