Story
Triscuit is a 1-year old female cat who came from the Tacoma Humane Society. She is very sweet and loving, and she will flop at your feet in search of scritches. We have had Triscuit for a little over two months, and we discovered very quickly that she had a bad giardia infection which she is now cleared of. She suffers from diarrhea that requires more care and resources than we are able to provide her with at this time. The vet recommends daily supplements to help restore her gut after the infection. Triscuit has been great with our three kids with no aggression at all. She recovers quickly from baths, nail trimmings, and vet visits without holding a grudge. She is very vocal with cute chirps and meows. Triscuit is a goofball who loves to play! She gets the zoomies after breakfast and loves a feather toy or a small bouncy ball. Triscuit needs a home that can help her heal and offer plenty of love and positive reinforcement as she can miss the litter box due to her diarrhea.

Story
I adopted Boo from the humans society. He is a little shy and that’s fine. He likes to be held sometimes. His birthday is March 23rd, 2026. I am looking to place him with someone who has a cat for him to play with or someone who is home often. I am gone a lot and feel bad because he is alone a lot. He is microchipped. Has up to date shots. He is healthy. He isn’t assigned to a vet place yet because I just adopted him. He is neutered. He is litter box trained. He does eat twice a day. I have a little box, plenty of toys and treats for him if needed.

Story
Meet Miles. A funny and active boy with a big appetite and a love for snuggles and pipe cleaners. Miles is a true hunter and will chase after anything that rolls or slides across the floor. He’s super friendly and is not shy at all wanting to get to know every visitor of your home. Although a little hesitant at first, Miles loves to get to know dogs and other cats, and has never had issues with kids. Miles prefers a urinary diet for food. Before Miles entered my home, he belonged to an elderly couple as a kitten. They decided to rehome him due to them not being able to manage his active personality. With my equally as active son, I took Miles in. He’s been with us 5 years and has been a wonderful part of our lives. Unfortunately, a move and financial challenges have begun to be too much for our family to manage with Miles. He deserves a good home with love and care. Our hope is that we can find the best fit for him.

Story
This cat came from a boat that housed a large number of cats that were all brought into our shelter's care together. Since arriving, this cat has been shy and doesn't seem used to being handled. We recommend letting them approach you on their own terms rather than forcing interaction. With time and patience, some cats from situations like this become affectionate and enjoy cuddling. Others may always prefer to keep their distance and simply observe from afar rather than seek out physical affection. Every cat is different, and it's hard to predict which path this one will take. Because this cat lived alongside so many others, they may do well in a home with another cat, or adopted together with a companion.
