Mackie's Story

Hi world, I’m Mackie! My friends call me Mackie B and I’m a plumpalicious little black cat with a tipped ear badge of courage that tells you I’ve survived life on the streets. I’m here to show you just how much love and resilience a single cat can hold in her heart.<br/><br/>I came to Happy Cats after living in a commercial building for years after I was finally brought inside. I spent most of my time watching the world from a safe tunnel and had a huge mat on my back when I arrived.<br/><br/>I had never lived in a real home before coming to my foster mom, but it wasn’t long before I realized she was there to help and let her slowly remove the mat. I felt so much better after that, I started to play again!<br/><br/>I’ve really blossomed with the love of Happy Cats volunteers and love coming out for pets with my favorite people. Once I’m home and settled, I’ll be happy to snuggle sidecar-style like I did with my foster mom, keeping you warm on cold winter nights.<br/><br/>My playful side shines whenever anyone comes to visit. I adore wand toys, especially the Cat Catcher and Purrpeller, and you’ll be surprised at how fast I can move! I’m even clicker trained to come to my name and do a great Sit for treats. Because you can see I’m all about the treats ?.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a kitty with an independent streak, I’m your gal. I’ll thrive with a family who understands that trust is a gift I give in my own time. I will love quietly watching over our world as the best household Kitty Admin.<br/><br/>Once I’m home and get my bearings in my Safe Room [link: https://happycatshaven.org/resource/safe-room/], I’ll be your little shadow who enjoys gentle affection, especially back scratches where that mat used to be. Brushing is another way to my heart.<br/><br/>I may start out with shy little drive-bys, but with patience and consistency, you’ll get to see my wonderful sense of humor and gentle soul, just like all my friends at Happy Cats have.<br/><br/>While I can tolerate other cats, I’ve made it clear that I’m yearning to be someone’s One and Only, your special girl who doesn’t have to compete with other animal companions. I’ll do best in a home with no small children but older ones who can respect my boundaries while I shyly give you pets with my tail will be someone I love.<br/><br/>I can be adopted for $120 which includes my spay, vaccinations, microchips, food and litter starter kit, and a free well-kitty checkup to help you get started. I also come with my own carrier, cat tree and toys. I’ve already come so far…are you ready to be my forever family?<br/><br/>You can tap here to fill out an Adoption Application - https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HCH/Cat<br/>Someone should get back to you during our adoption hours Wednesday – Sunday by 5 pm. If you need to contact someone more quickly, please call 719-362-4600 and we’ll do our best to get back to you within 48 hours.

Happy Cats Haven's Adoption Policy
You are always welcome to come meet our cats and kittens! Filling out an Adoption Application beforehand will save time. Our basic requirements are that all cats be kept inside, except when supervised or outside on a leash (we offer help with leash training!) or in an enclosed catio. We don't support declawing, which is actually amputating toes and can lead to far greater pain and issues than keeping their paws intact. We do support proper training for scratching, from kittens to adults, and will help you choose the equipment your cat likes best. We require a copy of the lease agreement that authorizes cats so that no one is heartbroken later if the cat is not allowed. Bringing that in when you come to meet the cats will also speed up the process. Over 55% of our adoptions go to family and friends, so we always offer our Buddy Discount to bonded pairs or kittens, with the second one at half off. Kittens thrive when they go home with a sibling, so we give preference to pair (or triplet or quadruplet!) adoptions. We also recommend kittens of at least 4 months to families with children under 5, for the safety of the children as well as the kitten. With an approved application, a cat or kitten can be held up to 48 hours with a $50 deposit (sometimes longer in special cases). This deposit isn't refundable but is transferable to another cat if needed.
