These cats and kittens come from rescue situations. Approximatley:

• 1/3 come from King, Peirce and Snohomish Shelters (off of death row)

• 1/3 come from Kitty Harbor’s own rescue work in our local area

• 1/3 come from Eastern Washington where the Kill Rate is 70% – 90%, depending on the area/County.

Here are some recent examples of how rescued cats and kittens found their way to Kitty Harbor:

1. So far this season, Kitty Harbor has taken in 6 – 7 mothers with litters from people that did not want them any longer OR found the domestic mother in their yard with babies. All mothers stay (generally in foster), with their kittens until they are 8-ish weeks old. Once the moms and kittens are neutered/vaccinated/tested/etc., they are available for adoption through Kitty Harbor.

2. Delyn, Founder of Kitty Harbor, is partnering with a municipal shelter that has a very, very high kill rate of cats and kittens. This shelter has no money or resources. In just four weeks she has taken 22 cats and kittens from them that were slated to be killed.

3. There is a store in an Eastern Washington town that has a big cage for people to drop off cats and kittens in. These felines are altogether in this cage; don’t know each other; fight; are often sick. There is a rescue group that pulls as many of the cats and kittens from cage as they can every Sunday. When Kitty Harbor has room, they accept the overflow.

Please ‘save nine lives’ by adopting a cat!
