About Baby

Baby is a gentle soul looking for a patient and understanding family. This shy girl may take a little time to adjust to a new environment, often starting off by hiding until she feels safe. With a calm atmosphere, ample space, and your steady support, she slowly reveals her sweet personality. To win Baby’s heart, treat her with Churu treats. These tasty snacks help build trust and positive connections as she learns that her new humans can be relied upon. Ideally, Baby would thrive with someone experienced in caring for shy cats, appreciating that bonding will take time and requires letting her set the pace. Watching her confidence blossom will be rewarding. Baby is currently in a loving foster home, so reach out to her foster parent, Annie, via text at 719-437-4525 for inquiries or to set up a visit. Just a heads up, please allow up to 24 hours for a response, as inquiries are handled in the order received. A meet-and-greet is necessary before adoption. Interested adopters should be prepared to meet within 48 hours of reaching out. As a safety precaution, current pets cannot meet Baby prior to adoption. After the meet-and-greet, you'll have 24 hours to visit the HSPPR Adoptions Lobby (11:00am–4:30pm) to complete all paperwork and finalize the adoption.

Adoption Fee

Inquire directly with rescue.

Adoption fees can usually be paid via credit card, or other convenient methods. Please check with the shelter for specific payment methods.
