The Dumb Friends League has a history of service. For more than 100 years, we have sheltered and cared for lost, abandoned and abused pets. 

Thanks to wide community support, we offer programs that help both pets and people. 

We are proud to be the metro-Denver area’s local humane society. You are invited to visit our website and our two shelters to learn more about us.

Destruction

It’s normal for cats to scratch objects in their environment for many reasons. The goal in resolving scratching problems is to redirect the scratching onto acceptable objects.

An aversive is something that your cat finds unpleasant. It can be used to discourage her from a particular action or place.

While pet owners would never consider withholding food or water from their cats, many forget to provide adequate exercise and stimulation.

Well-socialized cats are more likely to have well-socialized kittens. Kittens “feed” off of their mothers’ calm or fearful attitude toward people.

There are many factors that contribute to the safety or danger of a toy. Among them are your cat’s size, activity level and personal preference.

If you want your cat to live a long and healthy life, keep her inside.

Positive reinforcement is the presentation of something pleasant or rewarding immediately following a behavior.
