Oh, my. It is taking all my willpower not to adopt them all. I have three cats and one is a seal point Siamese. Don't tell the others, but he is my favorite. I have a feeling he looked slightly like Ruby when he was a kitten (I got him as a grown up so I don't know what his kitten days were like). Just a plug - if you are thinking about adopting kittens, these are definitely the ones you want!
To match each perfect little kitten with the best and equally perfect adopter.

First, please read The Purpose and The Process below.
If you're in the Tacoma/Seattle vicinity, send me an email with a little information about your household - its residents, human and otherwise, and anything else you think might be pertinent.
The kittens featured here came to the shelter without moms, and are fostered until ready for adoption, usually at 8-10 weeks of age.
Every effort is made to find each kitten the best family based on it's unique personality and the adopters' home environment.
Sending them off in pairs is ideal. Click here to learn why.
Happy kittens and happy adopters are equally important.
The Process
Visits with the kittens can be scheduled once they're settled in and at least six weeks old. If a match is made, the wee ones can go home within a day or two of being neutered.
Surgery is scheduled when the kittens reach 2 months and 2 pounds. They will also be microchipped, receive their initial vaccines and FeLV test before heading home.
Visits and adoptions are done at The Humane Society in Tacoma. All HS policies and procedures apply.
The Truth About Declawing
Most of us are aware of the inhumanity involved in declawing kitties. Learn the facts here and share them at every opportunity.
Lots of people simply don't know. It's our duty to educate them.
Thank you!
I have been volunteering and fostering kittens for the Humane Society since early 2006, and a part-time Veterinary Assistant there since June of 2010.
I am ridiculously fortunate to have the opportunity to do what fulfills me and makes me happy.
Oh, what a little darling! That dark little nosey and those big blue eyes are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteFive? Five! Where will it end? What a beauty!
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely the most beautiful kittens I have ever seen. Gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteI want her.
ReplyDeleteRuby. My paternal grandmother was Ruby Braden Bowlin, and I've always loved the name Ruby. Of course, all of this batch look like tiny gems.
ReplyDeleteNow you're just showing off.
ReplyDeleteMiss Ruby certainly looks like a gem!
ReplyDeleteI love her
