LONDON (ID #A0612226))

I’m a 5-year-old British shorthair mix, and I’m just the bloke to curl up on your lap in front of the telly to watch “Downton Abbey” or the summer Olympics. My mates here call me friendly and fun-loving, but I’m also quite refined (and I always use the kitty loo). Jot on down to meet me at the Quebec Street shelter or call (303) 751-5772. Cheerio!

LUCKY (ID #A0545949)

I admit it: There’s a LOT of me to love! But I just need a kind person who understands what it’s like to be “big boned” and who can help me lose a little weight. We could go on walks together ‘cause I’m great on a leash. I’m also very sociable with people, dogs and cats. Please be my best friend and exercise buddy! Let’s meet at the Quebec Street shelter or call (303) 751-5772.
