Sweet Pastries.

Marzipan and Palmier are ready to warm your lap, amuse you with their playful, funny antics, and fill your heart with joy. These sisters have come so far from their start as feral kittens! Their foster family and our volunteers surrounded them with love, patience, and gave them the time to become confident, comfortable, and capable of being your best friends. They are more than ready to have a permanent home with people they can love and who will love them back for all the years of their lives. They're coming up on their first birthday this summer and they'd love to celebrate it with you! To learn more, please email [email protected]

Posting for a good friend to us and cats everywhere. These kids need a soft landing place with someone who will love them the rest of their lives. Could that be you?

Well hello there, I'm Beignet. My foster humans pronounce it Ben-yay", like a French pastry, and tell me I'm just as sweet as one.

Honestly, I'm the quiet observer type, still learning how to trust humans. I'm happy to sit in the room with you and watch you do stuff, but it will take some time before I'm comfortable with you petting and handling me.

I love playing with string toys and wands, so if you wave around a feather toy on a string, I'll have a great time chasing and pouncing on it. I absolutely adore treats, especially those squeeze tubes of pureed fish and chicken flavors. Those are my favorites!

I'd be happy in a quiet home with someone who understands shy cats and is content to let me warm up to them in my own time. No kids, please. I would really like to have my sister as my emotional support cat, plus she'll be happy to cuddle with you while I observe. Would you be willing to help me learn how to trust people? If you'd like to meet us, please email [email protected] and ask for an appointment to visit us in our foster home.

Bon jour. I'm Choquette - my foster humans pronounce it "shoe-KET" or "cho-ket". They say I'm sweet as a little French cream puff, so that's what they called me. You can call me "Shoo" for short, or whatever you like!

I love all kinds of food and treats, crunchy stuff and soft morsels. And I love toys! Fur mice, jingle balls, fake flowers, wand toys, you name it. I'll bat at your hands, too, but don't worry, I never use my claws.

I'd probably do best in a home without kids, but I love meeting other cats. My sisters and I grew up outdoors and didn't spend much time with humans when we were little, so I'm still pretty shy around new people. But I've learned that I really like being petted, and my foster family says they can hear my purring throughout the house. So if you're patient with me, I'm sure we'll be best friends in no time!

My sister, Beignet, is still learning to trust people, and she depends on me to be the public face for her. If you would be up for taking us home, knowing that I'm the cuddly one and that she's going to take time to learn to trust you and be your friend we would love to meet you. If you'd like to meet us, please email [email protected] and ask for an appointment to meet us in our foster home.

Spring has sprung!

Our Spring Bulbs are in full bloom. Fritillaria and her 4 adorable babies came from a home where there were a lot of other cats. Their owner brought them to us to find safe, loving homes where they would be the center of attention.

Mama Fritillaria is playful, loves her babies, loves squeezy tube treats, and is an utterly delightful cat. Affectionate, friendly, and extremely photogenic, she would love to stay with one of her kids.

Babiana (Baby), loves to fly through the air chasing wand toys, lasers, and bouncing balls. Her foster family described as "super playful." She either needs to go home with her brother or her mom, or to another very playful kitten close to her in age.

Crocosmia (Cosmo), also loves chasing the laser, wrestling with his sisters, careening about like a fluffy little tank, and discovering the best spots for snoozing after playtime. He will need an active feline friend, either his mom or sister would be ideal, or another very playful, energetic young kitten.

To learn more about them, or to make an appointment to meet them in their foster home, email [email protected].

Biscuit has Blossomed!

This delightful gentleman came from a feral colony in Snohomish last year. Originally trapped with the intention of returning him to his outdoor life, he quickly showed his trapper he would prefer to be a beloved, indoor cat. When he came to us, he was still shy with strangers, uncertain about new environments, and reticent to engage with the volunteers. We learned he loved two handed face skritches and pets and with time, he opened up.

Adopted in the fall, he's flourishing in his new home. Here's an update from this week. "Biscuit has been doing great! He’s such a snuggler and has been exploring every inch of the house. Our other cat and he have buried the hatchet and seem to be able to be within a few inches of each other without issue. They’re both able to stay out when we leave and at night, which is when Biscuit is most active with his toys."

Our volunteers absolutely loved this boy. We are grateful that he is home and happy, and pleased to have been a part of his journey.
