Feline Rescue Network
Feline Rescue Network is a cat-only shelter at 2129 East Boulder Street in Colorado Springs, where visitors can meet cats available for adoption. Founded in 2008 as the city's first cat-exclusive shelter, it was called Look What the Cat Brought In until September 2026. It is a limited-admission, adoption-guaranteed rescue that takes in cats from overcrowded shelters, and some of its cats also live at partner PetSmart and Petco stores. It is not a café: there is no entry fee, no drinks and no timed sessions. Walk-in adoption hours are 11am to 3pm Friday to Sunday, and other days are by appointment. To adopt, browse the cats online, apply, then visit to meet the cat.
