My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Considering adopting? The first step is to complete our online Adoption Application at http://forgetmenotshelter.org/application
Please do not call the shelter; do the application first.

Introducing the Orange Boys!

These four orange boys were part of a very large feral colony on which we did Trap-Neuter-Return. These four were too friendly to send back out with the colony, so we pulled them into the adoption program! They are:

HELIOS - DOB 4/1/2025, black & white collar in video
AZAR - DOB 2/1/25, yellow collar in video
BLAZE - DOB 1/1/25, green collar in video
FLAME - DOB 1/1/25, blue collar in video

As you can see in the video, all of them are very mischievous, playful, and energetic, and would love to help you eradicate your rodent problems (or probably your insect issues as well), while enjoying an occasional snuggle and lap visit. They are all young enough to adapt to other pets in the home (they are certainly already used to a plethora of cats). Their play style is currently a little... rambunctious... so they would be best for homes with older children who can understand when kitty gets a little crazy, ha. They will, of course, calm down as they mature; ranging from 3-6 months old, this crew is still full of kitten energy.

They would do OK as indoor-outdoor cats in an area not prone to predators (that orange coloring is, unfortunately, like a beacon screaming "EAT ME" to predators on land and in air), or would adapt to an indoor only lifestyle with lots of play time and windows and maybe a catio and/or leash training for some supervised outdoor time.

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 is a suggested minimum of $75 (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!
