Our small sanctuary for special needs cats was lost in a fire and we are trying to rebuild. We need help reaching people who are both animal lovers and donors to create a new home for our cats. The cats are currently safe in a 32 foot RV purchased with donations, but it is temporary. Colorado weather makes it difficult to heat and have adequate water supply for the cats.
We need funds to furnish and equip the sanctuary to code in order to be PACFA licensed. Our home was also lost, so insurance will pay to rebuild the structure. General supplies have been purchased or donated.
Additionally, we are renovating a cottage on site as a vacation rental to generate income as a sustainable income stream for the sanctuary. Assistance finding local businesses and volunteers to help with that work is also a current need. Skilled and unskilled labor is need to build a bathroom, add plumbing and electrical.
If you have the skills, contacts, time and energy to help us find donors, we need you. Check out or website for more information ccasdenver.com.

Mission Statement
CCAS offers lifetime care and rehab for cats with special needs considered unadoptable. Outreach services for homeless cats and guardians are also available, including education and training, linkage to resources, TNR and rehoming, when possible.
Description
Lifetime Care for Special Needs Cats: Our primary objective is to care for cats with manageable or treatable conditions that are considered unadoptable. In some cases, these cats need time to rehab before moving to an adoptive home. Most will live at the sanctuary as long as their quality of life is good. Over 85% of our cats are under 5 years old, so it is a long-term commitment as they are expected to live a normal lifespan.
Spay and Neuter Program for Rescued Cats: As an agency and animal advocates, reducing pet overpopulation is an area we are greatly concerned about. Part of our outreach program in Bailey and the surrounding area includes assisting people who rescue homeless pets in obtaining neuter and spay services. CCAS is partnering with Crow Hill Pet Hospital in Bailey to offer this program as funds permit.
Rehoming and Adoption Services: Another resource CCAS provides is adoption assistance to facilitate rehoming pets that need to be moved due to unforeseen circumstances, with priority given to special needs pets and pet guardians. These services are offered on a case-by-case basis, with no guarantee of placement.
This is an alternative to relinquishing pets to a shelter which can be traumatic for both the pets and families, and places the pet at risk of euthanasia. A donation (adoption fee) is required to cover any costs incurred and adoption services. In emergency cases, temporary foster care may be provided, when available.
