We help treatable special-needs cats at the first shelter in Colorado Springs for cats, exclusively. We accept medically needy cats for rehab, treatment and adoption. Cats that need more time to become adoptable and that may be at-risk of euthanasia come from Colorado homes, rescue groups and other shelters.
We specialize in adopting older cats, cats transferred from the HSPPR who are not doing well, medically needy cats, cats from Fort Carson, cats from elderly clients and cats who don’t quite fit the guidelines for Safeplace for Pets. The need is so great that we could exactly duplicate the work of all the other non animal control cat organizations in the Pikes Peak Region and still have cats whose needs are unmet.
We provide high quality medical care for cats transferring from areas that are veterinary care deserts. Colorado Springs is a mecca for specialty veterinary practices. We want to be able to provide the most timely care for cats with serious health issues, by having stable funding sources.
Over 50% of our adoptions involve bonded pairs of cats. This practice insures that our adopted cats have a compatible companion in their new home from the beginning.
“We are grateful to have LWTCBI as a rescue partner because they have the space and the ability to provide cats what we sometimes can’t – the gift of time to adjust and become who they’re meant to be” — Ami Manivong Feline Population Coordinator, HSPPR
