Do you accept litters of kittens? My litter is 7 weeks old. They have had their 1st set of shots and exam at a vet. Very socialized and sweet. I want a beautiful life for them! Do you kill those that don't get adopted out?

Please give us a call at 253-383-2733. We don't euthanize animals because they have been with us too long, or if we have too many. We only consider euthanasia in two situations: 1. An animal is terminally ill and in pain and suffering. Our veterinary staff works hard to provide the best medical care possible, but if there is nothing that a veterinarian can do to make an animal comfortable and that animal no longer has a quality of life, and no realistic chance of recovery then euthanasia may be the kindest option. 2. Behavior that is dangerous to public safety. Our in house behaviorists and our external partners work hard to socialize animals and will frequently devote months to trying to help animals adapt but if an animal would be a threat to people, other animals, or themselves in a home environment then we have to euthanize rather than put people or other animals in jeopardy but this is the last resort and only undertaken with the agreement of our ethics committee.

This is probably a question better asked on there website, over an email, or by phone rather than a Google review page.
