Happening now: West Seattle cat-adoption event

Everybody was a little camera-shy but rest assured, the cats that Friends of the Animals Foundation has brought to VCA West Seattle for an adoption event today – their first one there, VCA says – are just waiting for you, or anyone else who can give them a forever home. This event goes on till 2 pm. Seen at left is Frank, who’s 12 years old and needs someplace new because his people just couldn’t keep him any more. Below, Marianne and Barb with a few more candidates:

VCA West Seattle is at 5261 California SW. (P.S. Even if you can’t give someone a new home this Christmas, there are several other ways to help local pets in need, including pet-food donation drives – listed in the “Holiday Giving” section toward the end of the WSB West Seattle Holidays page.)

Oh, I love Frank! Wish I was in a position to become a pet “parent” again. Hope someone takes him home. :)

Frank got adopted! along with 5 other kitties. Thank you for giving these kitties a forever home!

Thanks for the update, 2krazy. Particularly about Frank. That was the heartbreaker look I got from our cat Miles when he was in a Purrfect Pals cage in Junction Petco five years ago … second time we saw him, a sign was up that said someone was adopting him … then we went back the next week and he was still there, they told us the adoption had fallen through … so we just had to rescue him, and he eventually became best buddies with our other adopted-as-an-adult cat, who we found at a Seattle Animal Shelter foster-cat adopt-a-thon three years earlier.

yeah, rescue cats are awesome! I’ve got 2 and they seem to love you more because they know that special place in your heart that moved you to give them a chance for a better life.
