Hi! My name is Rooney, and I’m around 4.5 months old, a little over 4 pounds, and I can’t wait to find my forever home! I’m a “flame point Siamese,” which means I have bright blue eyes and orange coloring on my ears, tail, and paws. I remind my foster mom of a creamsicle. I meow often because I have so much to say! I am curious and surprisingly tall, and I’m still gaining confidence in my jumping skills.
I was rescued from a cat colony in mid-October. I was spayed and then treated for my upper respiratory infection. Since then I’ve gotten very accustomed to the good life as an indoor kitten. I love snoozing on top of humans so long as they give me the requisite head scratches. When I want some space, I like to nap under the furniture near humans, that way I’m still socializing. Sometimes I nap nose down into the carpet. I know it looks silly! I love wet treats and cozy couches. I purr loudly when I’m brushed. To my foster mom’s delight, I don’t scratch any furniture except for my scratching posts! And I’m great at using the litterbox.
I am getting braver and braver every day since I was rescued. I am FIV+ but I don’t bite. I’ve been playing safely with my foster mom’s cat, who doesn’t have FIV. We really love playing together - we like to hustle around the house seeing what everybody’s up to and if there are any treats hiding for us to find. I’d be happy to have some cat roommates in my forever home but they’re not required. My foster mom predicts that I’ll like school age kids because I like getting attention from high energy creatures.
I want a forever home where I can grow, play, learn, snooze, and love!

Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes that every pet should find a wonderful, caring home. To ensure each pet finds the best possible home, we ask that you fill out an adoption application form so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application we receive and will contact you as quickly as possible. A home visit will be scheduled before any pet is adopted to a new home. Once a home visit has taken place and the adoption application has been approved, we will ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement form. Our adoption fees help cover the cost of spay/neuter, veterinary exams, vaccinations, microchipping, and foster care. Highly requested breeds help cover the vet costs incurred by some of our other cats, enabling us to save more lives!
$350 for purebred/highly requested kittens, 6 months or younger, such as Siamese mixes, Maine Coon mixes. These "guardian kittens" help support our rescue work by covering vet costs for other kittens.
$225 for purebred/highly requested cats older than 6 months such as Siamese mixes, Maine Coone mixes. These "guardian cats" help support our rescue work by covering vet costs for other kittens.
$225 for kittens (6 months & under)
$150 for cats (older than 6 months)
$100 for senior cats (8 years or older)
If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an adoption application here. We want our pets to go to a lifelong new home, so thank you for your patience during the adoption process!
Please email cats@arrcolorado.org for more information, as we can not accept calls at this time.
