I found a new home! Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Check out other pets at this shelter, or start a new search.

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Introducing the Snow White litter of kittens; all are short haired. They were born about 8/8/16, and came to the shelter as strays along with their mama kitty (Joyce, also listed for adoption).
These kittens spent several weeks outside learning about life from their mama; this has given them a sense of caution around new and unfamiliar people, places, and things, which means they could do well as indoor/outdoor cats, but most will also be just fine as indoor-only kitties. Grumpy is a very shy girl who will play with us, but only if she has a hiding place nearby where she can run if she gets startled. She does let us hand-feed her canned food treats, and grows a bit braver every day. Grumpy is our shyest kitten. Can you teach her how wonderful life can be? She and her somewhat less cautious sister Happy are usually found curled up together underneath or inside something they view as protective - each will let us pull her out for snuggles, and Happy relaxes pretty quickly, but Grumpy takes a few more minutes to accept that we aren't planning to eat her (after which she begins to purr). She will need a fair amount of time in her new home to acclimate and learn to trust her people before she can relax, and she will likely never be a super-social cat that greets visitors at the door. She has good mousing instincts, and does enjoy coming out to play with a wand toy! We are offering Grumpy with NO ADOPTION FEE if adopted with one of her friends.
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."Grumpy will do well with any of the room 1 kittens, including her siblings.
All kittens arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and with all age-appropriate vaccinations. Adoption fee for Grumpy is suggested minimum $20 (more gratefully accepted), or we will place her with NO ADOPTION FEE if she goes home with one of her friends. Discount available for pair adoptions! 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 both the Seattle area and Spokane, 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!
