Meet J.T.

J.T..jpg Meet J.T, an accomplished 12-year-old kitty, who prefers to spend his leisure time watching birds and getting fresh air out of a window. Occasionally he has moments when he shows some excellent soccer moves with his jingle ball toy but that lasts a second. When J.T. feels playful, he scratches all three of his cardboard scratchers with a mischievous look on his face and then takes a sit next to the balcony or on the couch. If J.T. sounds like the purr-fect match for you, come speak to a Seattle Humane adoption advisor today – you'll be glad you did!

As with all of our cats, J.T. is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. All of our cats have been tested for Feline Leukemia/FIV and go home with a certificate for a veterinary examination and their very own identification tag and collar. PLUS, most cat adoptions include 30 days of pet insurance from Trupanion – a great way to start off on the right paw!

Bring the MaxMobile to your event

The MaxMobile – Seattle Humane’s 38-foot mobile adoption bus – travels throughout King County to visit festivals, farmers markets, pet stores, businesses, parks and schools for fun interactive events and pet adoptions. Find out when the MaxMobile’s will next be in your neighborhood here or request a visit for April and beyond by contacting the MaxMobile coordinator at MaxMobile@SeattleHumane.org.

Salem is settling into his purr-sonality

Salem has been doing very well! He has turned out to be quite the energetic kitty. Salem has grown from a cautious cat into a curious senior, who now lounges around on the couch or bed, depending on where the sunlight can be found. He sailed through Christmas visitors with flying colors and managed to wrap my parents around his little paw with ease. I think he'll be doing just fine here!

Thank you,
Laura

Loving our couch potato and adventurer

Hey Seattle Humane!

My husband and I adopted Argo and renamed him Buddy 3 months back. He's doing really well! He's going through a teen phase and tests his boundaries quite a bit. But he really wants our approval and acceptance. He's never happier than when we are both on the couch and he can lay down in one of our laps. He loves to run around Houghton Beach Park and play in the water. We take him on runs and he has gotten less reactive to other dogs with ample exposure.

Thanks for your time and attention,

~Alyson
