Formal Wear February – special on fancy dress kitties!

Formal Wear February Special! Ah, February – a month to honor Love and Commitment! Why not celebrate February by adopting a loving kitty that will always be Dressed to Impress?! All black and black/white cats’ adoption fees through 2/28/13 are priced by the “pound of loving” they provide… from our $9, 9-pound petite beauties Calandra […]

Featured cats: our leftover kittens!

We have four kittens, born 9/3 (Engelbert) and 9/7 (the three “I” sisters), who have watched pretty much all the other kittens head out to their new homes… these four are still waiting, but we know there are great homes out there for each of them! Engelbert is a medium-haired boy; Icicle, Iliana, and Irmagard […]

End of summer Black Cat Blowout!

As usually happens around this time of year, the shelter is full of black and black/white cats and juveniles; these are the kittens that are last to be adopted from their litters, the “leftovers” after everyone has taken home the “pretty” kittens. They are the cats that visitors don’t notice, because they are black and […]

Today’s featured kittens: Babbler and Blackbird!

Babbler and Blackbird were born on 5/11/12, and came to the shelter as a Stop the Cycle litter; we have spayed the mama kitty, and are now looking for homes for these adorable babies. Mama kitty was pretty young, we think this was her first litter, and the kittens are a little small for their […]

New adoptable dog: GUS

Gus is a Black Labrador Retriever (according to his former owner, he is purebred, but has no papers). He is 2 years old, and was surrendered to the shelter because he kept chasing his former owner’s new goats. Unfortunately, Gus has spent his first 2 years living outside, without any training or direction. He is […]

Today’s featured cats: SISKEL and EBERT

Siskel (orange) and Ebert (black) were born 3/7/12, and were surrendered to the shelter as a Stop the Cycle litter; the mama kitty has been spayed (thanks to her sponsor who paid for her spay!), and now it’s time to find homes for these 2 cuties. These kittens are being socialized in a foster home, […]

New adoptable pets: Adelie, Albatross, Acorn, Akiko, Tamarack, Azumi

This past weekend we listed 6 new pets who arrived at the shelter after their owner died without a pet plan in place. These 5 cats and 1 dog came in a little frightened and confused, but now seem pretty happy and grateful. It seems that fortune is smiling on them, too, because of the […]

New adoptable cats: 6, all black, from 1 home!

These 6 cats are all related; someone didn’t call us soon enough for a voucher, and this is the result. In the top row, Jaguar is about 6 months old; sisters Lea and Piper are about 10 months old. In the bottom row, our three sibling kittens were born 11/11/11. Mama kitty has now been […]

Look who went home this week!

November is Adopt a Senior Pet month, and we are delighted that Amber is our first senior pet heading home! She will be so happy to have a warm lap and guaranteed sun spot for her golden years. Our other adoptees this week are two more of the kittens that were abandoned at a remote […]

Black Tie Special – discounted adoption fees for cats in “formal wear”

Welcome to our 2011 Black Tie event – a time for those ubiquitous black and tuxedo kitties to SHINE and find their forever homes. All our formal wear attired (which means black or black and white) juvenile kittens (4-8 months of age) have reduced adoption fees of $50 for one or $85 for two, and […]

New adoptable kittens: The “C” Group

Introducing the newest litter of cuties looking for their new homes. They were born 8/18/11, and arrived at the shelter along with their mama-kitty Miso when the kittens were just 3 weeks old. They and mama-kitty are in foster care together, and the kittens have begun the weaning process (at just over 7 weeks old). […]

Adoptable cat, long-timer: MOLLY

Molly is a beautiful medium-haired white kitty with lovely black accents – love that black tail! She has been with us since early July, when she arrived with her 2-week-old kittens in tow. Molly has been a great mom, and the kittens have all found their new homes. Now it’s time for Molly to go […]

New adoptable dog: DUQUELLA

DuQuella is named for one of our adopters/facebook friends; we chose this name because it rhymes with our other juvenile black dog, Ella – too cute! (We’ll occasionally be stealing facebook friends’ names for our pets; ideas are hard to find, ha). DuQuella looks like a LeMutte dog, we can only guess that she may […]

New Adoptable Pets: our “A” Kittens!

For everyone who is sad because Poppie’s kittens are gone… don’t worry! Over the next few days we will have many more fun and fabulous kittens for you to meet! Today, we are introducing our “A” kittens.* This quartet has three black and white brothers, plus a calico sister, all of whom will be ready […]

New adoptable dog: ELLA

Ella is a beautiful, petite mixed-breed “LeMutte” girl, who was found on a forest service road in the Colville National Forest, far from homes and people. No one came to claim her during her impound period, so she is now looking for a terrific new forever home. Her beautiful, glossy black coat, wide forehead, and […]

New adoptable cat: BOULDER

Boulder is a wonderful and handsome black and white guy, full of charm and charisma. He is both playful and affectionate, and seems tolerant of other cats. Boulder was surrendered to the shelter by someone who could not afford to care for him, and we want to find him a great new home full of […]

Adoptable Kitten: MELVIN

Poppie’s featured adoptable kitten for today is Melvin. We think he will probably be a short haired adult cat; he has the cutest markings! As a black and white kitten, he is statistically likely to be the last of the litter adopted, but whomever finally chooses Melvin is in for a fun, frisky time. Melvin […]
