Introducing Watcher, one of 15 cats and kittens who found themselves homeless and in need of the shelter after their owner died with no "succession plan" in place for these babies. Thankfully, family members were able to help us figure out the approximate ages for the adults, and they were better socialized than one would expect in a family with so many cats.

The adults as a whole lived as indoor-outdoor cats, so could be placed in similar situations, though the orange kitties do not have very safe coloring for areas with predators (indeed, there is a reason only two of the cats from this household are seniors, and the rest are all 3 or younger - indoor/outdoor lives do shorten most cats' lifespans).

They did not live with dogs, but so far do not seem terribly perturbed about the dogs they see from their screened Meow Manor porch area, so should be able to adapt to homes with polite, cat-savvy canines.

Obviously, they are all quite used to living with other cats!

Watcher is a beautiful shorthaired tortoiseshell girl, born about 3/1/2023. As her name implies, she tends to hold back and watch the rest of the group. Whether that is because she is one of the only girls surrounded by "stinky ol' boys" (ha), or if it's just part of her particular Tortitude, remains to be seen. She does enjoy affection when it's offered, and our thinking is that she is just really, really over living with so many other kitties - give her just one or two cat friends (or let her be your one and only), and you will likely see her purrrrsonality begin to blossom!

All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Watcher is a suggested minimum of $60 (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!
