Considering adopting? The first step is to complete our online Adoption Application. Please do not call the shelter; do the application first.

Sassy and Swagger, fluffy grey tuxedo brothers born 3/27/24, arrived as part of a feral colony on which we were doing Trap-Neuter-Return. These two, rather than being the "angry wild animal" type of feral, clearly are just scared and shy, so our staff and volunteers decided to make them a rehabilitation project. They are coming along beautifully, and should make even faster progress in a loving home where they can experience living among the HOOMANS 24/7.

Of the two, Sassy (untipped ear, first 5 photos) is the least shy; he's still not super comfortable being petted, but will allow it. Swagger (tipped ear, last 5 photos) hasn't quite grown brave enough for petting, but he is the more playful of the pair! Together, they make a great team, and both have a love for Churo treats, a handy tool when teaching them that people are great.

We'd love these brothers to head out to a patient, relaxing, spa-like home together; if you'd love to continue their rehabilitation and allow them to bond with you at their own pace, we'll be happy to place the pair for just a single adoption fee! (Sort of an "adopt one, get one free" deal, if you will). Adopt these brothers, and we'll throw in a free wand toy and a few Churus to help you through the transition period!

They are used to other cats, and would prefer not to share their home with dogs or loud humans of any age.

All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Sassy and Swagger is a suggested minimum of $50 (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!
