Kittens and cats in Monroe, Washington

Woozle is a charming, silly boy who has truly mastered the art of relaxation. He’s always ready for his next nap and can often be found stretched out in the warmest, sunniest spot he can find, soaking up the rays and dreaming the day away. When he’s not snoozing, Woozle’s goofy personality shines through and is sure to bring smiles to everyone around him. He’d love a home that appreciates a good balance of cozy downtime and lighthearted fun—and a few sunny windows would be the perfect bonus for this sweet, sleepy guy.

Introducing Columbia This sweet but shy girl, born around 4/1/2025, arrived at the shelter with her kittens in tow, after being found abandoned outside a home. Columbia has raised and launched her babies successfully, and is now starting to figure out that humans are actually pretty nice, and having regular meals and a safe place to sleep isn't the worst thing in the world. As you can see from her video, she is still stuck a bit in "flight mode" and hasn't taken the time to learn how to play, or how to relax on a person's lap. The good news is, she will let us pick her up and we can tell that, with the right person and some patience, she could learn how to let herself be loved. She's not a fan of dogs, and the energy levels and sounds of small children will probably always be on her least-favorite-things list. She does enjoy the company of other calm kitties. Here is some great information about adopting a shy cat like Columbia: https://anticruelty.org/pet-library/adopting-shy-cat While kitties like Columbia may need a little extra patience and TLC, there is nothing as rewarding as the first time your shy cat jumps up on your bed and chooses to sleep next to you. Trust me, it's worth the wait. All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Columbia 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!

Introducing Dolly This beautiful shorthaired tabby/white girl is SO ready for a home of her own. Picture this. You're a young single mother of very active quintuplet toddlers, and someone shows up to say "look pretty and playful, you're on camera!" Now imagine what Dolly thought, and you'll understand her very inactive video. "Please. I am exhausted. I just want to sit here and be adored. Pet me, but for the love of Friskies, please do NOT ask me to exercise in any way, shape, or form. Oh, and WHEN. ARE. THEY. BEING . ADOPTED?!?! I need some rest. Please. I am begging you. Just let me nap for ONE SEC... oh no, they are pouncing on my tail again...." We do think Dolly, who is only about a year old, will be happy to play once the kittens have moved on to their new homes. But if you want to just offer her a warm and cozy, QUIET sunspot for the first week or two, she would worship you forever. Dolly hasn't yet been tested with other cats and dogs (really, 5 rambunctious kitten roomies are ENOUGH for right now), but we will be able to do so soon, as those kittens will be moving on out. Now it's Dolly's turn! All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Dolly 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!

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 Midnight, one of 15 cats and kittens who found themselves homeless and in need of the shelter after their owner died with no "succession plan" in place for these babies. Thankfully, family members were able to help us figure out the approximate ages for the adults, and they were better socialized than one would expect in a family with so many cats. The adults as a whole lived as indoor-outdoor cats, so could be placed in similar situations, though the orange kitties do not have very safe coloring for areas with predators (indeed, there is a reason only two of the cats from this household are seniors, and the rest are all 3 or younger - indoor/outdoor lives do shorten most cats' lifespans). They did not live with dogs, but so far do not seem terribly perturbed about the dogs they see from their screened Meow Manor porch area, so should be able to adapt to homes with polite, cat-savvy canines. Obviously, they are all quite used to living with other cats! Midnight is one of the EXTRA SPECIAL kitties from this family - an advanced senior! She is 16 years old and was allowed to be indoors pretty much all the time in deference to her advanced age. At 16, she deserves a retirement home that is as EXTRA SPECIAL as she is. Whether she has a month, a year, or (pushing the envelope) a decade of life left, we'd love to see her sleeping on someone's bed, soaking up the sun in a window seat, and having all the Churu treats a gal could hope for. She is being offered as a Senior Hospice Foster, meaning you would care for her and provide all the love and attention, but Forget Me Not would remain in charge of her medical care. If you prefer to adopt so that all future medical decisions would be yours alone, that is also a possibility - whatever works for you and gives this adorable, snaggle-fanged gal the best possible end of life, will be absolutely purrrrfect. All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Midnight is a suggested minimum of SENIOR HOSPICE FOSTER (more gratefully accepted).

Introducing Smudge, one of 15 cats and kittens who found themselves homeless and in need of the shelter after their owner died with no "succession plan" in place for these babies. Thankfully, family members were able to help us figure out the approximate ages for the adults, and they were better socialized than one would expect in a family with so many cats.

They did not live with dogs, but so far do not seem terribly perturbed about the dogs they see from their screened Meow Manor porch area, so should be able to adapt to homes with polite, cat-savvy canines. Obviously, they are all quite used to living with other cats! Smudge is the other EXTRA SPECIAL senior from this family group - this medium-haired handsome black boy is, at 18, even older than Midnight - but you wouldn't guess it if his prior owner's family hadn't known his full history! This guy is clearly the leader of the pack, with the most charm, the most smarts, the most PRESENCE. He is a force, and while you may THINK you are doing him a favor by giving him a fabulous retirement home and meeting all his bucket list desires... he knows he is doing YOU the favor, by showing you everything you've been missing in all the years you THOUGHT you knew what cats were all about. He also got to be an indoor cat, given the Place of Honor as is only proper for his magnificence. He is being offered as a Senior Hospice Foster, meaning you would care for him and provide all the love and attention, but Forget Me Not would remain in charge of him medical care. If you prefer to adopt so that all future medical decisions would be yours alone, that is also a possibility - although, let's face it, all decisions really are in Smudge's paws, and he will decide whether to let you think you're in charge. Every day spent with this floofy guy is guaranteed to be special, in one way or another. All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Smudge is a suggested minimum of SENIOR HOSPICE FOSTER (more gratefully accepted).

Obviously, they are all quite used to living with other cats! Misfit, with an estimated date of birth of 3/1/2024, is a shorthaired orange tabby boy who looks like he may be the crew foreman for his feline family. He leans in for petting, but also has an independent air about him, giving the impression he is trying hard to not care whether you love him or not (but he REALLY REALLY DOES care, shhhhh). He deserves to be someone's special boy, and we think he would love to pretend that he isn't reveling in the soft and fluffy feeling of sleeping on your bed. All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Misfit is a suggested minimum of $60 (more gratefully accepted).
