Story
Meet Abe, a one-year-old Domestic Shorthair mix.Abe is a soft-hearted boy with an unforgettable, adorably “sad” expression that just makes you want to scoop him up and reassure him everything is okay. Abe came to us as an owner surrender when his family could no longer keep him, and he is now looking for a calm, loving home where he can feel safe and secure again.Abe is a gentle, shy cat who takes a little time to warm up in new environments. Once he feels comfortable, his sweet personality begins to shine through. He’s not the type to demand attention, but he quietly enjoys affection on his own terms — especially those coveted booty rubs, which he absolutely loves once he trusts you.He does best in a calm, patient home where he won’t be rushed and can slowly build confidence at his own pace. With kindness and consistency, Abe shows just how affectionate and tender he can be, often choosing to stay nearby his trusted people and quietly soak in their presence.Abe may be a little reserved at first, but beneath that shy exterior is a loving cat who just needs time to blossom. For someone willing to offer patience and gentle encouragement, he will be a deeply rewarding companion who expresses his love in soft, subtle, and very special ways.Ready to adopt?

Meet Thunder, a ten-year-old Domestic Shorthaired cat. Meet Thunder — a calm, confident, and surprisingly youthful spirit wrapped in a handsome, easygoing package. Thunder came to us as a stray, and while we were able to trace a microchip, his previous owners had already rehomed him. He also arrived with a leg injury, but after receiving care and time to heal, he is now feeling much better and moving comfortably again.Despite being a senior, Thunder carries himself like he’s still in his prime. He’s outgoing, friendly, and genuinely enjoys spending time with people. He greets attention with a relaxed confidence and is quick to settle in with his humans, often rewarding them with soft purrs and content companionship.Thunder has a naturally easygoing personality — the kind of cat who doesn’t ask for much beyond a warm place to rest, kind humans, and the occasional affection session. He’s social without being demanding and seems to enjoy simply being part of whatever is going on around him.With his calm demeanor, affectionate nature, and resilient spirit, Thunder is the perfect companion for someone looking for a steady, loving presence in their home. He may have had a rough start, but he’s ready to spend his next chapter enjoying comfort, care, and the simple joy of being loved.This pet is available for adoption on 5/9/2026 4:45 PM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center.

Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Tommy was abandoned along with a littermate and left in a box on the side of the road. He was rescued and taken to the vet. Shots are up to date, he has been neutered and loved for several months. He is a very fun, curious and loves to follow the humans around him. He is litter box trained, loves to climb and explore. He is taken outdoors a couple of times a day, and is supervised to keep predators away ( eagles, hawks, owls, coyotes) in a fenced and gated property. He will need to be an indoor cat, for his safety. Currently he resides with his brother, Spanky and they cohabitate very well today. We have never witnessed any disturbances between them.
