Fix your feline - low rates for qualifying low-income clients

Tuesday, November 5, 2013



The Seattle Humane Society is holding a Feline Fix Day for cats of qualifying low-income clients on November 26, 2013. Male cats will be neutered for $5 and female cats will be spayed for $15 (additional charges may apply for complicated surgeries). Feline microchipping and FVRCP vaccines will also be available for $5 each.

Appointments are required and space is limited, so sign up now. Low-income cat lovers can see if they qualify and make an appointment online or call 425-649-7560. The surgeries will be performed at the Seattle Humane Society, 13212 SE Eastgate Way in Bellevue. Cats must be at least 4 months old.

Spaying/neutering keeps pets from producing unwanted litters and improves pets' health! The simple surgery reduces reproductive cancers in females and prostate cancer in males. Other benefits include making them less likely to roam and become injured, less likely to spray or mark, and less likely to exhibit dominant behavior.

Statistically, more people invite pets into their homes during the holidays than any other time of year. Shelters like the Seattle Humane Society are the best place to find a four-legged family member who is the perfect match for you!

View available pets online today. If you are looking to welcome a new furry companion into your home, make this holiday extra special with a visit to Seattle Humane.

Humane Society waives fees for older cats and dogs

Thursday, November 8, 2012

Seattle Humane waives fees for older cats and dogs this month


Are you ready for a mature relationship? Adopt a senior pet at Seattle Humane Society and find out for yourself why senior pets are the best! All month long, adoption fees are waived on cats 7 years and older (normally $25), and dogs 7 years and older are $50 (normally $199-275, training not included).

At some shelters, dogs and cats over the age of three are not considered “adoptable,” but at the Seattle Humane Society, we know that older pets make amazing companions. Just ask Kaarin, who recently adopted Nicolette, an 11-year-old Australian Shepherd mix. Kaarin is a widow whose dog had passed away. When she saw Nicolette at seattlehumane.org, her heart went out to this senior pup who found herself homeless in her golden years. She decided to adopt Nicolette and give her a loving home. In less than 24 hours, Kaarin wrote to Seattle Humane to say that Nicolette was enjoying naps stretched across her feet, happy to be part of a family.

Top 5 Reasons to Adopt a Mature Pet:

MELLOW PERSONALITY
You know exactly who you are adopting because his or her personality is formed Plus, these great dogs and cats tend to have just the right level of playfulness for busy families.

ALREADY HOUSE-TRAINED
Most mature pets have already learned many of life’s lessons –including potty lessons! 

MAKE THEMSELVES AT HOME
Older companion animals seem to acclimate more quickly to new settings.

HAVE A LOT OF LOVE TO GIVE
Many of our adopters say that senior dogs and cats really seem to appreciate it when they are adopted and bond to their new family more readily than younger ones.

YOU CAN TEACH AN OLD DOG (OR CAT) NEW TRICKS!
With older pets, you don’t have to spend time teaching them all the basics – they already know them! Instead, have fun teaching them new tricks!

King County meets goal of adopting out 200 cats - extends free adoption to December 31

Monday, November 5, 2012

Susan Conn and Pearl were the
200th cat adoption during the
promotion, which has been
extended to Dec 31
Regional Animal Services meets October cat and kitten adoption goal, and will extend adult cat adoption special through December 31

Pearl is a gem for Regional Animal Services of King County. The four-year-old cat is the 200th feline adopted from the King County Pet Adoption Center this month. The center waived adoption fees for cats six months and older as part of a special promotion in October.

When we set the goal of adopting 200 cats and kittens this month, we set our sights high, even though we weren’t at all sure if we’d reach that number,” said Dr. Gene Mueller, manager of Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC). “Not only did we reach our goal, but we did it with two days to spare.”
Susan Conn of Seattle was the lucky adopter who picked out Pearl on Monday afternoon. She says she was inspired by the special event that RASKC held this month, waiving the adoption fee. 
“While I love the energy of kittens, I have a soft spot for the older cats,” Conn added. “Pearl was the first cat that caught my eye. I did look at other animals, but I came back to her, and am glad I did. I think we will get along splendidly.”

Mueller says the “no fee for adult cats” promotion was so successful that RASKC will extend the deal through December 31. The fee for kittens will remain at $100. All felines adopted from RASKC are spayed or neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and have tested negative for feline leukemia. Adopters also receive a starter bag of Hill’s Science Diet food for their new pet, as well as a certificate for a free veterinary wellness exam, courtesy of the Seattle/King County Veterinary Medical Association.

People looking to adopt from RASKC can view available pets by visiting the King County site and clicking on “Adopt a Pet.” Even better, prospective pet owners can visit the Pet Adoption Center in person to pick out their new furry friend. The center is located at 21615 64th Ave S in Kent. Hours are 3 – 6 p.m. Monday, noon – 6 p.m. Tuesday – Friday, and noon – 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Adopt a cat for free until Oct 31 from King County Animal Services

Friday, October 26, 2012

The best things in life may be free, but some very good things will soon go up in price. Until October 31, Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) is still waiving the adoption fee for cats six months and older.


“Our goal was to adopt 200 cats and kittens during this special event, and we’re very close to reaching that number,” said RASKC Manager Dr. Gene Mueller. “The clock is ticking, so we encourage anyone who is thinking about adopting a cat to stop by the Pet Adoption Center soon.”

Normally $55, the adoption fee for cats older than six months is waived during this special event. The fee for kittens (younger than six months) remains at $100. All cats and kittens from RASKC are spayed or neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and have tested negative for feline leukemia. Adopters also receive a starter bag of Hill’s Science Diet food for their new pet, as well as a certificate for a free veterinary wellness exam, courtesy of the Seattle/King County Veterinary Medical Association.

Kitten overload at PAWS - 60 kittens need homes

Saturday, July 28, 2012


Available for adoption at PAWS


PAWS Companion Animal Shelter in Lynnwood has what it says is “way too many kittens.” The shelter currently has more than 60 kittens, and things are getting a little crowded.

“We generally don’t have anywhere near this many kittens this time of year, but for some reason, they just keep coming”, says PAWS’ Kay Joubert.
 
Kittens are typically the first animals to go to adoption, but with such an overwhelming number of “new recruits,” the shelter wants to get the word out as soon as possible.

“We’ll have all of the kittens available at PAWS Cat City” says Joubert.

Cat City is located at 5200 Roosevelt Way NE, suite B, in Seattle’s University District.

According to staff, the kittens keep coming so fast that they haven’t had time to photograph them and put them on the website.

“It’s like a lunchtime line-up at the department of motor vehicles”, says Mark Coleman, PAWS Communications Manager. But Coleman assures us these kittens don’t need glamour shots.
 
“They’re as cute as they come. You should see them all playing together. It’s like a ‘kitty convention’ – all kinds of mayhem.”
