furryfacesParticipantIt’s a great weekend to add a furry family member or two! Kitty Harbor will be open 12 – 6 pm, both Saturday and Sunday for your meet ‘n’ greet pleasures. Approx. 17 adults and 60 kittens are just waiting to charm you.
Kitty Harbor’s phone # is 935-1919.
Address: 3422 Harbor Ave. SW, West Seattle

These cats and kittens come from rescue situations. Approximately:
• 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 9 – 10 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 7 weeks she has taken 28 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.

dbseaMemberMost mornings I see some of the little darlings in their open air play area. Always want to hop off the bike and visit but my boss would not approve.

Megan B.MemberWe just adopted a 1-year old sweetie from Kitty Harbor, and I can not say enough good about the organization! They were kind, accommodating, and did a great job providing our Biscuits with the love and care she needed until she found us! So thankful to them.
