The Seattle Humane Society is asking for the community’s help as its cat population surpasses the 400 mark.  

“July and August are the peaks of kitten season.  We have the opportunity to save hundreds of lives, but we need the community’s help,” said Brenda Barnette, chief executive officer for the Seattle Humane Society. “We need people to adopt or foster an orphaned kitten or adult cat.”


The Seattle Humane Society is able to physically house up to 250 cats and kittens.  Another 170 cats and kittens are currently in loving volunteer foster homes with food, medical care, and supplies being provided by the Seattle Humane Society.  But, with more cats and kittens being admitted to the Bellevue shelter every day, the Seattle Humane Society needs to find more families willing to care for a kitty in need.

ADOPT:
The Seattle Humane Society has over 80 kittens and cats available for adoption at any given time.  Cats are loving companion animals and their self-sufficient nature makes them the perfect pet for those who travel or have a busy work schedule.  For those who aren’t home often, consider adopting two cats who will entertain one another during your absence and be ready to keep you company when you are home.  Visit the Seattle Humane Society’s website at www.seattlehumane.org to see their profiles or meet them in person at the Seattle Humane Society, located in Bellevue at the junction of I-405 and I-90.


FOSTER:
Help expand the shelter walls by temporarily caring for a kitten or cat in need.  Fostering is a rewarding and enriching experience, and is a great volunteer project for families or individuals who love animals but cannot commit to having a full-time animal companion.  Time commitment can range from one to eight weeks.  For more information or to sign up, go to www.seattlehumane.org or call (425) 641-0080.
