My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Introducing the royal duo, Princess and Duchess! These two sisters are quite bonded and are ready to share their love with you! Born around September 2025, these Torbie's are ready to spread their wings and fly! The fun about Torbie's is watching their coat change as they age, the orange coming through in such unique designs and patterns. 

Duchess, the darker of the Torbie's, is very curious and inquisitive. She loves to play, even if it means being a tad annoying to Princess in her demands for playtime. When Princess is not interested, she's more than happy to play with you as well though! Her foster mom jokes that she has a bit of a Sour Patch kid energy; she can be sour, especially when she's hyper-focused on playtime, but when she's ready to be sweet, she's the sweetest ever! She loves attention and loves her treats, especially if it happens to involve chicken. 

Princess, the lighter of the Torbie's, is more self-sufficient. She's got that big sister energy and is always making sure Duchess doesn't get into too much on her journey for knowledge and adventure. This sweetheart is super cuddly though and is quick to greet her foster mom at the door. She's very strict on when she expects her food and prefers her schedule to be followed to a T but is more than happy to remind you if you miss her scheduled feeding. Princess very much feels she needs to be cuddling something to sleep, whether that is you or Duchess. 

Torbie's are a mix of Tabby and Tortoiseshell cat, so be prepared for talking, especially as they grow. Because Princess and Duchess are still new to our wonderful foster, they are still on the shy side. They warm up quickly and will slowly let more of their personality shine. 

If you think these absolutely adorable sweethearts would be a purrfect fit for your heart and home, please reach out to Laura at 540-272-3506

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Almost all of our cats and kittens are raised to be indoor-only animals, although if we do take in an animal that has been indoor-outdoor and shows strong desire for that to continue, we will allow that in the placement. Indoor-only homes lead to safer and healthier cats/kittens who live longer lives. What they don't know they don't miss, and window-watching and stimulating toys and fully enrich their lives indoors.

Nearly all of our available animals are cats, as we have one part-time dog foster. We may do one batch of puppies a year.

Our adoption process is fairly simply: we talk to the potential adopters to try to determine a good fit between the adopter and the animal - for example, making sure a talkative cat goes to someone who wants a talkative cat, a lap cat is matched with someone who wants that trait, etc. We strive to make matches that keep both people and animals happy.

Once a match is met and approved (a process which generally doesn't take long), there are several forms to complete (adoption application with lots more questions, adoption contract, microchip transfer form, etc).

Animals are generally ready to go home the same day with some exceptions. Adoption fees are generally posted in each animal's biography and are to be paid in cash.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Regular adoption outreach events are held at the Mount Vernon Petco store from 11am to 3 pm.

We also have a permanent condo in the store where a cat or kitten is typically available to meet at any time during store hours; adoptions from this condo are NOT handled by store employees (although they can open the cage and show the animals), but adoption counselors can generally be reached for same-day adoptions.

Additional showings and/or adoptions are often able to be scheduled through the foster parent, so use the contact numbers in the pet's biography. We try to be accommodating, especially since we do a number of adoptions to people from outside the Skagit Valley area, including Canada and the San Juan Islands.

The Mount Vernon Petco store is off I-5 exit #227.

More about this rescue

Friends for Life Animal Rescue was founded in 2009. We are an approved 501(c)3 nonprofit group.

We are individuals who have come together with the belief that cats are more than property to toss out when inconvenient or leave behind when moving.

Most fosters have more than 5 years of fostering, with several having been involved in formal animal rescue for more than 10 years. Among our fosters are our vet, two vet techs, and two vet receptionists. One of our group's specialties is in neonatal or orphaned kitten care.

We strive to halt the repopulation cycle by spaying or neutering all animals BEFORE they are available for adoption - no vouchers or arrangements left for the new family to handle.

We believe that animals do better when in more home-like settings, with lower stress and fewer health issues as well as socialization and really getting to know the animal's characteristics, likes (chocolate milkshakes), and dislikes (fizzy stuff!).

We are all volunteer and have no central facility so that any fund we do obtain are used almost totally on the animals in our care and toward adopting them into loving forever homes.
