Second Chance Animal Rescue

Our Mission

To provide homeless animals with a second chance at life and companionship in a no-kill shelter. Our organization goes beyond shelter walls and is committed to
1) Positive people and animal
relationships and placements
2) Offering affordable spay, neuter
and vaccination clinics
3) Cooperative rescue efforts
4) Animal welfare education

An enthusiastic group of animal lovers saw a need for a no-kill safe haven for cats, and a new all-volunteer organization was formed to fill a huge void in Littleton and the surrounding area.  The Second Chance Animal Rescue was created by caring individuals with over 50 years of combined service in the animal rescue field.

Thanks to a lot of hard work and a lot of generous supporters, our doors are open!  We have bright, open areas with lots of windows, and we're full of cute and friendly cats and kittens looking for a place to call home.
Our hours open to the public are Monday thru Saturday Noon to 3:00pm, with additional times by appointment.   If you can find room in your home for a needy cat or kitten, please fill out an adoption application. We have MANY cats & kittens ready to go to their new fur-ever  homes. Click here for a printable adoption application.

Volunteers Needed

The shelter is open, and we need help. Can you spare a few hours a week on a regular schedule, to work with the animals? We especially need morning kennel cleaners.  Or do you have a professional service or talent you'd like to offer? Or maybe you can help occasionally at fundraisers, or man a booth at the Farmers Market?

These are just a few of the ways you can volunteer. Start by filling out an application. Click here for a printable Volunteer Application

Black Cat Countdown

     Black cats are often the last to be adopted in shelters, maybe because of superstition or because adopters want more "colorful" cats. While the black cats themselves are not bad luck, they certainly are unlucky. Here’s a countdown to the Top 10 Reasons you should adopt a black cat:

10. They look like little panthers.
  9. Statistically speaking, black cats are friendlier than other cats.
  8. Holding a black cat is very slimming.
  7. Black cats will match any decor.
  6. A lint brush isn’t required for a black-tie affair.
  5. When you love a black cat, luck is on your side.
  4. Black cats are like onyx, a beautiful gem.
  3. Hey, they don’t care what color you are!
  2. Love knows no color.
  1. They are the least likely to be adopted and need YOUR help!
