Mission Statement
Mission Statement We are a 501 c3 Non-profit, Charity Organization, operating a Limited Intake, mostly Cage-free Rescue & Shelter. Our primary focus is on rescuing and finding safe, caring and lasting homes for homeless, abandoned, unwanted and at risk cats and kittens through rescueand foster system. Many of these animals are ill, injured, older, shy, and have other behavioral issues due to abandonment, neglect, abuse and worse and Angels with Paws is their last hope. We also focus our efforts within the community, helping folks facing home insecurities, elderly going into assisted living, and domestic abuse cases. In addition we wirk closely with our local TNR (Trap-Neuter-Release) partners to take in kitties with a good disposition and kittens that can be socialized and adopted. We provide compassionate care including Veterinary care, medications, rehabilitation, food, shelter, other basic needs and a place to live until the animal is adopted. Our commitment to our animals extends beyond adoption as our Adoption Agreement requires that if the Adopter can no longer care for the animal, it must be returned to Angels with Paws. Through our staff, volunteers, fosters, and partnering with a few local pet supply stores, we are part of a network of caring people that reaches far and wide. We work with local organizations in the metro Denver area and beyond to save lives, reduce pet overpopulation, promote responsible pet ownership, the need to spay and neuter and educate people on the cruelty of declawing. We educate pet owners on responsible ownership and ways to help keep their animals when possible. We believe in saving lives and finding homes. We look forward to the day when no animals will be put-down in shelters due to lack of space. We believe that all animals have the right to life.
About This Cause
Angels with Paws is a 501c3 non-profit charity that operates a mostly cage-free Limited Intake Rescue Shelter. We started on Sept. 27, 2003 when our founder and director, Jean Ausenbaugh and a few other kind folks volunteering at another local shelter saw the need for a safe space for so many animals who were at risk of being put down. They started saving lives through fosters at first then the Adoption Center, a converted fast food building, opened on Feb. 7, 2004. In 2023, we moved to our Kipling Street location to be able to help even more kitties. Since starting we’ve rescued over 10,000 homeless, unwanted, abused, neglected and abandoned cats, kittens (& many dogs through fosters and networking with other rescues). Many are injured, ill, disabled, and older and would be turned away from or put down by other shelters. We provide each animal with basic care, Veterinary care, treatment, rehabilitation and a place to live until we can find good homes for them. We also strive to educate the public on responsible pet ownership, the need to Spay/Neuter and the cruelty of declawing. We’ve helped an amazing number of animals with limited resources, a small dedicated staff and no on-site Veterinarian. Veterinary costs, testing, medications & supplies are one of our largest expenses, especially with the recent rise in costs. Nearly all of our funding comes from private donations and adoption fees. We are part of a network of caring people that reaches far and wide and will work with local organizations in the metro Denver area and beyond to reduce pet overpopulation by promoting the necessity to spay and neuter. Our dream is to see the day when no adoptable animal will be euthanized.
