From December 4th to the 24th, our adult cats have a reduced adoption fee. For $40.00, you can have a lap full of purring lifelong friendship!
Please see our "How To Adopt" page for adoption information.

The Animal Rescue and Adoption Society is a no-kill, cage-free, 501(c)(3) non-profit cat shelter dedicated to preventing cruelty to animals and to providing a safe shelter and a second chance for homeless cats and kittens.

Through outreach programs and community referrals, ARAS seeks to educate the public by providing current information regarding other rescue organizations and services when ARAS is unable to accommodate the animal in need.
We are committed to helping animals in need of safe environments and people in need of solutions. If you have questions, please contact us via email at arascolorado@netscape.net, or call the shelter at 303-744-6076. There may be a delay of about one business day for return phone calls and emails. Messages left when the shelter is closed on Wednesday and Thursday will not be returned until Friday.

Join the Kitten Care Brigade!
We are in need of volunteers to join the Kitten Care Brigade! If you are available in the mornings 8:00am - 11:30am (give or take), we can use your help cleaning and socializing in the kitten room. The kittens need you, and so do we! Respond via the ARAS email (arascolorado@netscape.net) when we can look forward to you being here.

"The most unsociable cat, when it finds itself wrapped up in someone's coat and put to sleep upon his bed - stroked, fed and tended with every imaginable care - soon ceases to stand upon its dignity."
