Forget Me Not is currently assisting a semi-feral cat colony in crisis in Inchelium. These cats are too friendly to be "just" barn cats, and cannot be returned to their original site after neuter because there are dogs in the neighborhood that have decided the colony is their prey playground. As a result, we have taken in 39 cats and kittens from this colony, kittens ranging in age from 2 1/2 months to 6 months. All of them are seeking a safe place to call home; it can be indoor only, indoor-outdoor, or for some of them, outdoor only with appropriate food, water, shelter, and daily affection.

Kansas and her sister Vermont were born about 6/21/21.

Kansas is the sort of girl who says "STOP IT. I don't WANT to be loved. Petting... it... it feels so good... STOP IT. I don't WANT to like you!"

Vermont appears to be an existentialist, full of ennui, with a "FINE, if you MUST" attitude toward attention.

Both are handleable, and will most likely grow affectionate and playful after several months of consistency in their new homes. They would prefer someplace with a quiet, zen-like atmosphere, no dogs (other cats would be OK with them), and no loud or shrieky children. They would be perfect for someone who looks forward to long stretches of staring and slow-blinking to bond with their challenging cat.

The good news is, Forget Me Not is having a "Shy Cat Special" for the rest of 2021, so a shy cat or kitten has a $35 adoption fee, and you may add a second shy cat as a buddy at no additional cost!

We'd love to see all kittens go to homes that have another young, playful kitten, or to send 2 of them out as a pair (which gives you a great pair discount rate), but we do not require pair adoptions. If you prefer to adopt just one, and you don't have a similarly aged kitten at home already, please read our information on Single Kitten Syndrome. Then, when you apply for a single kitten, please let us know in the "Comments" field how you plan to deal with the "kitten crazies."

All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Kansas is a suggested minimum of SHY CAT SPECIAL $35 (more gratefully accepted). All pets are placed with a 30-day money-back trial period, to give pet and family enough time to discover any unknown allergies or other conflicts.

Can't come to Republic? Don't let that stop you! We have monthly transports to the Seattle area, delivering adopted pets to their new owners. If you can add a little to your donation to help us cover our volunteer driver's expenses, that would be great!
