Celebrate Your Birthday At The Seattle Humane Society
Hey, kids! Come be a party animal and celebrate your birthday at the Seattle Humane Society. You and your friends will enjoy adopting a stuffed shelter pet, playing games, meeting some furry friends and touring the animal shelter. Party price is 150 for up to 15 kids, plus 10 dollars per head for any extra kids. Find out more by emailing us at birthdays@seattlehumane.org
Some kids choose to help the animals by making a pet food or pet supply drive part of their birthday party. If you would like to have your birthday party help the animals at the Seattle Humane Society, here are some ideas:
• Tell your idea to your guests on the party invitation
• Include a copy of our Wish List inside the party invitation
• Tell your friends to bring their donations to your party
Foster A Cat!
Help the Seattle Humane Society save even more lives by opening your home temporarily to a cat in need of some TLC. All you need is a spare room and some spare time: from two to eight weeks. Taking a shelter cat into your home for even a short time helps to:
• Give long-timer cats a much needed break from the shelter environment
• Help cats recover from colds in a more supportive and stress free environment
• Open up space for the never ending stream of new cats
If you are interested in fostering a cat, get started by emailing our volunteer department at volunteers@seattlehumane.org Include all of your contact information and be sure to put “Youth Cat Fostering” in the subject line of your email. You will be contacted by Ashley, our Cat Foster Program Coordinator. After Ashley has contacted you, your family will come in to receive training on how to provide the care for your foster cat. The Seattle Humane Society is able to provide you with a litter box, cat litter, cat food, medications if necessary, and other essential supplies.
Other Ways Kids Can Help The Animals
In order to have hands-on contact with shelter animals you need to join the Humane Teen Club, come to Animal Adventures Day Camp, or be 18 years of age. But there of plenty of other ways to help shelter animals and earn service hours. You can do a pet food drive, coordinate a towel and blanket collection, or host a fundraiser for the shelter.
