This place is the absolute best shelter in Denver. I've been volunteering for about a year and a half and I just love coming to visit the kitties. You can tell the staff really cares about the quality of life for these guys, they couldn't ask for better caretakers! With a warm, friendly environment, it's the best way to pick out your new best friend. Even if you can't adopt & take one home right now, they have a great 'sponsor a cat' program. You can also join the TLC program where you pick out a kitty or two and make sure they get extra special attention whenever you come in. This program ensures that every single cat gets some much needed love. What an amazing place for these needy kitties!

I enjoy volunteering and petting kitties at this shelter. At first I thought it would be very sad to visit a cat shelter. That isn't true at Animal Rescue and Adoption Society! We just changed our name to Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue, but the place is the same. It has a very nice warm feel. It seems to me that all those special kitties in one place give it a wonderful energy. We have a lot of volunteers who come and love the kitties so they will be more sociable, and get to go home with someone who will love them every day. Many volunteers work to make sure the kitties who are more shy get special attention. I got to hold a kitty the other day who wouldn't let me get close 2 months ago! I'm thinking about helping to go out to pet stores to help publicize the shelter. Some volunteers will help with the Taste of Colorado fair on Labor Day weekend to earn money for the shelter. Every year we have at least a couple of garage or craft sales with items donated to the shelter. This helps to make money to buy catfood for our kitties. The shelter is always clean. Right now they have quite a few energetic kittens running around and playing. They are SO cute. You can fall in love with a baby kitten in 2 seconds flat!

We had a wonderful experience at this shelter as the staff and volunteers are very caring and compassionate. The adoption process included us being about to socialize and hold all the kitties and play with them on the floor so we could tell what their little personalities were like. We chose one in October 2008 and another in July 2009. The cats are doing well and now we go back to the shelter on occasion to pet kitties (my 5 year old loves to do this!) and we help change litter and feed and anything else they may need. The fun part is to just play with the cats, and they are just fine with you just doing that! And you can come as often as you;d like! We are even considering fostering an older cat since they have a hard time with the kittens around. Wonderful shelter doing really great work!

I adopted Rocky 'Rocky Raccoon' 3/2009. I was searching for a 5-6 month old companion for my other young cat. I came in and a very nice ARAS person told me about a 6 month old she was fostering. He has been the sweetest ever. Plus I love their shelter. They have outdoor places for ferals and the other cats to roam. I'd love to have them do my backyard! Lol. Its such a cat oasis in the city. Plus the cat rooms are tops. I have recommended this place to others.

Animal Rescue and Adoption Society is a wonderful, no-kill, no-cage cat shelter. They take in many cats who would otherwise be left to suffer on their own. They have taken in many abused and injured animals. Like all non-profits at this time they make every dollar count with many of their paid employees volunteering time and taking fewer paid hours. This shelter also takes in cats with FIV and FILV, something that most shelters cannot do. All the people at ARAS care for and love all the cats. They are well taken care of. They do a great job!!!!

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
that all the cats are out of cages so they can sit on my lap and have an actual home at the shelter.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
helpful, nice, caring, and dedicated to the shelter.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
help so many more cats and kittens to get out of bad situations and have the chance to get adopted into loving, caring homes.
Ways to make it better...
I have always had a great experience here.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
the funding.
