Introducing Cottontail from the Easter litter - an early 2026 litter of kittens, born about 4/6/26 and surrendered by their owner to our shelter.

These five siblings are ready to find their forever homes and are dreaming of the day they get to become beloved family members, YAY!

They are easy to tell apart:

CADBURY - male, DSH brown tabby

COTTONTAIL - female, DSH grey

HOPPITY - female, DSH black

JELLY BEAN - female, DSH torti

PEEP - male, DSH buff

See which picture tugs at your heart while you try to decide if you want to bring one home... or two... or more!

They are young enough that they should adapt fine to existing pets, with proper introductions.

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 Cottontail is a suggested minimum of $75 (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!
