Kitty Harbor’s final weekend till next summer

| How to help | Pets | West Seattle news

At right, that’s just one of the kittens awaiting new homes at West Seattle’s nonprofit cat-only shelter Kitty Harbor – and any Kitty Harbor kitties who don’t get those new homes this weekend will be going into foster care until June. That’s according to Kitty Harbor volunteer Anna, who says the shelter is open 1 pm-6 pm this Saturday and Sunday, and those will be its last days till next summer. Kitty Harbor is at 3422 Harbor Avenue SW, just north of the West Seattle Bridge. You’ll find tons more photos and info on the Kitty Harbor website.

We adopted two 5 month old cats from Kitty Harbor just over a year ago. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the service and care they provided to us and the adoptees. “Mittens” and “Belly” have brought so much joy to our lives. :)

I can’t recommend Kitty Harbor more highly. We got two kittens (one from the Animal Shelter, one from Kitty Harbor) and both are great. Two things really going for Kitty Harbor is the way you are allowed to go in and play with the kitties in a relaxed, natural environment – to get a feel for their personalities. The other is all the industrial noises around the area, I swear, makes the cats less skittish because of the early exposure – the cat we got from KH is pretty fearless compare to our shelter cat.

Anyway, if you are thinking about a new pet for the holidays, I highly suggest it. Just know if you want a kitten, you will need to get two together or already have a companion for them. They won’t let you adopt just one kitten alone because they need interactive play. Two kittens are actually easier than one, since they entertain each other. And it makes for hilarious holiday videos. :-)

Sorry, comment time is over.
