Kitten season is here.
Each spring, PAWS welcomes the arrival of pregnant cats, nursing mama cats with litters, and orphaned kittens. During this busy time of year, volunteer foster parents take these cats and kittens into their homes to provide a safe environment to grow bigger and get prepared for adoption.
In early summer through fall, a steady stream of kittens are moved from foster homes to PAWS facilities where they are made available for adoption.
Available kittens can be seen on the PAWS website in the adoptable cat section. Adoptable kittens are posted to the website in the evening so that prospective adopters can see the animals available for visits when our shelters open the following day.
When viewing cats and kittens on the website, you’ll see a location marker indicating whether they are housed at PAWS Companion Animal Shelter in Lynnwood or PAWS Cat City in Seattle. The majority of kittens are adopted from our PAWS Cat City location in the University District of Seattle. Our cat-only adoption facility provides a unique experience for visitors to enter the open colonies and interact with multiple kittens at the same time.
Due to high demand and our desire to efficiently match kittens with suitable adopters, kitten visits are conducted on a first-come, first-served basis. Kittens cannot be put on hold over the phone. If you are looking for a specific color or breed, please continue to check the website as a variety of kittens come through PAWS.
Thanks to our amazing community for your continued interest in adopting from PAWS. We look forward to meeting you and helping you find your next BFF (Best Furry Friend)!
