“Fospice” Cats Leave Lasting Impression
I began fostering cats for Seattle Humane a little over seven years ago, and after I had fostered just a few, one of them was returned with kidney disease and he became my dear “fospice” (foster hospice) Fitz-kitty, a very gentle soul, who was with me most of the time until he died about a… Read more
Generations of Support for Seattle Humane
I first learned about Seattle Humane when I was a child. My grandma lived in Eastgate and was an early volunteer and adopter. This was when it was newly converted from the vet clinic to a shelter. I remember going with her one time and seeing the tags on the dogs cages that showed how… Read more
Happy Adoption Tail: Kaia
I knew from the first moment I saw her that she was my girl. Five months old, eager for love and attention, but still nervous and submissively peeing when you reached out a hand due to whatever horrible situation she was in before she arrived. I was 20, had recently dropped out of college, and… Read more

In contrast, Doris began rapidly moving in her cage, catching my eye as she paced back and forth and then began eating her kibble out of the dish by scooping it… Read more
Adoption Update: Lily
We first adopted our dog Lily (formerly known as Sorah) in 2019. She turned out to have some behavioral challenges, but we love her anyway! Learning about Seattle Humane got me interested in the Teen Program, which I participated in in 2019 as well! After COVID hit, I returned for about nine months as a… Read more
Adoption Update: Leia
We adopted the most amazing pup last year and can’t imagine life without her! Leia came to Seattle Humane on a lifesaver flight from Hawaii and she embodies island chill — sweet, calm, loves a snuggle and to snooze in the sunshine. Leia gets along very well with her two feline brothers, Bean and Busby,… Read more
