Introducing Hotdog

This lucky boy, born about 4/19/26, originally was destined for a less-than-cushy working life as a barn kitty... but somewhere along the way, he let us know he would much prefer to be someone's adored family member, and who are we to say no to such a sweet plea.

While Hotdog may be very slightly shy with strangers, once he knows you, he is a total love! He gets along fine with other cats, and is young enough he should be able to adapt to polite cat-friendly dogs with a slow introduction. He would prefer to avoid screaming toddler parties, but gentle children with soft voices who love to curl up and read with a kitty would be OK for Hotdog.

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 Hotdog is a suggested minimum of $70 (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!
