The Cat-Friendly City proclamation recognizes the positive steps Denver area animal care and control has taken by providing licensing, spay/neuter surgeries, subsidized and free veterinary care, as well as participation in Chip Your Cat, an initiative to microchip cats for free.

There are an estimated 1 million cats living in the Denver Metro, making cats more numerous than dogs!...Which is pretty amazing, considering that everywhere you go in Denver you see a dog.

Northern Colorado pet-friendly apartments are all the rage too.

It most cases, except in Colorado Springs and Tucson, apartment rentals appear to be more cat-friendly then dog-friendly. According to Ralph Johnson, Director of the Denver Area Veterinary Society, cats make excellent urban pets – likely because they require less outdoor space.

Denver apartments appear to be more cat-friendly then dog-friendly, but hubbuzz has over 300 apartments in Denver, so there are plenty of pet-friendly apartments to go around.
