Someone earlier answered incorrectly so we have deleted that answer. We ARE a no kill shelter. The only instances in which we euthanize are when an animal is so badly injured it cannot be saved or when an animal is truly vicious and presents harm to it self or others. Our live release rate is 93% which is well above the national average for no kill shelters.

If you can't afford the consequences of owning an unaltered animal, then you should do the responsible thing and spay your cat.

@Kammy. The shelter is no kill. What they do is if an animal stays at the shelter for too long, they will be put on a transfer list to go to other shelters around Washington.

Try the rehoming pets Facebook page to re-home your kittens. But yes, they are a no kill for healthy animals. I have fostered kittens from them.
