About Us

Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue (RMFR) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1982 with the mission to care for homeless, abandoned, abused, and neglected cats. At RMFR, we partner with high risk shelters throughout the nation to reduce euthanasia rates and provide shelter for special cat populations, including those diagnosed as FIV+ and FeLV+. We also intake cats from the local community, including owner surrenders and strays.

Today, RMFR is a limited-intake, no-kill, free-roaming shelter with the capacity to have up to 125 cats and kittens on-site.

Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue relies on the partnership of our local community through individual donations and fundraising efforts to support all operational expenses, as we do not contract with local governing bodies or receive government funding. We are committed to serving the needs of homeless cats by offering safe indoor and outdoor spaces at our shelter, which allows our residents the freedom to explore their surroundings and genuinely interact with people and other cats.

Our cats are able to develop strong social skills through a robust foster network of dedicated volunteers who provide healthy, in-home environments for RMFR cats and kittens until they are ready to be adopted.

Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue is committed to finding a safe and healthy home for every cat that we are able to accept into our shelter. At RMFR, we do not have expectations for how long it should take for a cat to find the right home, and we only euthanize when medically necessary after all other avenues have been exhausted. We believe that every cat deserves a second chance, and we ensure that during the time each cat spends with us, we make it a life worth living.

We are located at 2390 S. Delaware St., Denver, CO 80223. Adoptions are by appointment only but visitors are welcome during our open hours. We are open 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesday - Sunday and closed Mondays.
