Animal Friends Alliance
Our Mission
Animal Friends Alliance is dedicated to providing comprehensive companion animal resources, services, and education to our community to prevent homelessness and promote the human-animal bond. We believe that all companion animals deserve to experience a healthy home where they are wanted, cared for, and loved.
Our Story
Formed in January 2020, our organization emerged from the union of Fort Collins Cat Rescue & Spay/Neuter Clinic and Animal House Rescue & Grooming. By combining our strengths, we have created a unified force dedicated to supporting both the animals in our care and the families who love them.
How We Help
We operate as a limited-admission, adoption-guarantee facility that provides a safe, temporary home for thousands of cats and dogs each year. Our care model is rooted in transparency and comprehensive veterinary support, ensuring every animal receives vaccinations, spay/neuter services, and medical screenings before adoption. Beyond our shelters, we actively work to keep pets in their original loving homes through resources like our Kibble Supply Pet Food Pantry, low-cost spay/neuter clinics, and behavior support services.
Your Adoption Journey
Adopting a new family member is a joyful partnership, and we are here to ensure you find the perfect match. We take the time to review our adoption policies with you, providing a supportive environment to discuss any concerns and set you and your new pet up for lasting success. Whether you meet your new best friend at our Jason Telleen Adoption Center or our Everyday Adoption Center, our team is committed to making your transition together as seamless as possible.
Get Involved
Ready to meet your new best friend? We invite you to browse our current list of adoptable cats and dogs online or visit us at our locations to see our animals in person. Join us in our mission to create a stronger, more compassionate community for every pet.

10/23 - Seamus found his family thanks to one unexpected stop during National Adoption Week. 🐶 While our team was fostering Seamus from @animalfriendsalliance in Denver, we brought him along to dinner to help him meet people and enjoy a little extra attention. That's where his future family saw him. They found out he'd be at National Adoption Week the very next day, headed to their local @PetSmart, and made it official. Sometimes the best moments happen when you least expect them. Visit your local PetSmart before October 25, and meet a pet who's ready for their next chapter.

10/9 - This story is just one of the many our Community Cat Program encounters every single day. Established in 2014, our Community Cat Program was created to help stray and feral cats who too often go without the care and support they desperately need. We are committed to humanely managing the cat population, preventing endless cycles of reproduction, and giving these cats the best possible chance at a healthier, safer future. But the truth is, we cannot do it alone. Every cat we help depends on the compassion and generosity of people like you. This $5 Friday, would you consider making a small donation to help us continue this life-changing work? Your $5 gift may seem small, but together, our donations make a BIG difference for cats who have nowhere else to turn. Thank you. 🙏 #animalrescue #tnr #straycat
