Introducing the Chips Kittens

These resilient little survivors came to us from a large feral colony where we conducted a Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) project. While they weren't quite feral enough to be returned to outdoor life, they also needed some extra time and love to become fully socialized. Thanks to the dedication of our amazing staff and volunteers, these sweet but slightly shy kittens have made incredible progress and are now ready to find loving homes!

Shortly after their rescue, the Chips kittens faced a big challenge — they were diagnosed with Feline Panleukopenia (the feline version of parvo). With round-the-clock care and lots of TLC, every single one of them pulled through — a true miracle!

Today, they are happy, playful, and thriving. The only lasting effect is a bit of food sensitivity, which is easily managed with Royal Canin’s special gastrointestinal formula — and they’re doing great on it!

If you're looking to adopt a kitten with a heartwarming rescue story and a whole lot of love to give, one of the Chips crew might just be your perfect match.

Cheetos, a short haired tabby and white boy born 3/20/25, has the long-suffering air of a kitty who thinks "OK, you might eat me... do what you must, sigh, just make it quick." He will be so grateful to join your calm household and be allowed to blossom at his own pace. He's the most challenging to get on video, as the frenetic activity of the other kitties has him mostly hanging back out of the way.

All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Cheetos 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!
