Established in 1982, the Animal Rescue and Adoption Society is a non-profit,
no-kill cat shelter located in Denver, Colorado. Society staff and volunteers
care for approximately 185-200 homeless, abandoned, abused, and neglected cats and kittens. ARAS receives
no government funding and is dependent upon donations from the community
and the proceeds from fundraising events.
The shelter is located in an industrial area, less than five miles from
Downtown Denver. ARAS originally began in a garage, then relocated to
its present location where it has existed for about 22 years.
ARAS has many loveable cats of all ages, shapes and sizes, all of which
need homes. If you are looking to adopt a cat from ARAS, please come in
and complete an application at the shelter, or download one by clicking
HERE if you have Adobe
Acrobat Reader. We ask for the entire family who will be adopting to meet
the cat, and provide documentation of proof of address (lease agreement,
recent bill, valid driver's license), and a phone number for your veterinarian.
For applicants who rent, we require consent of your landlord.
