We have received a wonderful gift of high-quality animal themed Christmas Ornaments from one of our dear friends. We will be hosting a holiday booth next year with these ornaments with all proceeds going to the shelter animals. As you take down your tree this year and notice a high-quality animal ornament you would like to gift us, we would be delighted to add it the few we have. Thank you for supporting Orcas APS.

Twenty wildcats in a sanctuary in Shelton, WA died from the bird flu this week. This is important information for cat owners to be aware of.

Cases in domesticated cats have risen dramatically over the past year.

Does anyone recognize this unneutered male cat? Not microchipped.

He was brought in from the West Beach area.
Please contact us at (360)376-6777 if you own him, or have any information about him. Thank you!

Bruce is the fourth of the new cats transferred in today from ARFS - Animal Rescue Friends Society of Grant Co., Wa. Though very sweet, Bruce is full of feelings. Bruce will be ready to talk with potential adopters in 10 days when he makes it out of quarantine.

These are three of the new cats we transferred in today from ARFS - Animal Rescue Friends Society of Grant Co., Wa. They are all young males under a year old. They all did great during intake and will look forward to meeting potential adopters after their neuters and quarantine.

Did you know we offer a low cost spay and neuter program at the shelter? In the past our wait times have been months, but we just spayed the last cat on our waiting list today. Dogs are currently scheduling in February. Please visit our site to see if you and your pet qualify for this great program at: https://www.orcaspets.org/neuter.html

Two big announcements today...

1. Orcas APS is open from 1:00pm to 4:00pm during the month of December. If you would like to visit after 4:00pm, please call to schedule. We have noticed that we don't often receive visitors after dark and hope adjusting our hours will make it easier for more to visit.

2. Our little Waldron kittens are growing, and we feel more confident in saying they are thriving. Off to a rough start, we are now accepting adoption applications. You can apply at: https://www.orcaspets.org/catrequest.html

11/27/2024

We wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. The shelter will be closed so we may spend time with our friends and family. Staff and volunteers will be in throughout the day to care for the shelter pets.

When all you see is your reflection in the bowl.
Don’t worry, Zane was fed today. 😉

We have been assisting with spaying and neutering a Waldron feral colony this year. We are excited these two fluffy brothers were rescued young enough to be socialized. They just got done enjoying a messy bowl of food. Time for a bath.

***ADOPTABLE CAT***
Zane is the sweetest boy. He has been working hard to drop a few pounds before the holidays. Please come in and meet this 4 year old loaf of love. He is waiting for your visit in the Kitten Room.
Anyone want to take a guess on his weight?

Update: We have decided not to transfer in the Eastern WA Bengals from a retiring breeder. If you are interested in a Bengal, please contact ARFS - Animal Rescue Friends Society of Grant Co., Wa to learn more about visiting them. We are going to focus our attention on socializing young kittens from Waldron so they may be adopted into warm loving homes.

Hey Orcas, Would there be any interest in adopting a Bengal kitten or young adult if we transfer them in? Please do breed research if this is something you are considering.

We are honored to have been chosen to receive a Karen Pryor Academy scholarship. We look forward to learning more about improving the lives of our shelter pets and the ability to share new training and enrichment information with our community.

Congratulations to the 2024 Zoe Shelter Scholarship recipients! For more than a decade, the annual Zoe Shelter Scholarship program has been made possible by Dr. Lisa White and her husband Brody in remembrance of their dog Zoe and in honor of the ASPCA’s Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog-Month. The program is designed to assist shelters as they implement training and enrichment programs that both enrich the lives of the animals in their care and help the animals find their forever homes. This year, four scholarship recipients were selected from more than 120 applications representing shelters and rescue organizations throughout the world. Congratulations to Cantinho da Milú, Arnell Memorial Humane Society, Vancouver Animal, and Orcas Animal Protection Society. Learn more about this year’s winners https://bit.ly/4e4waU7.

*** UPDATE: Bubba has found his home! ***

We can’t believe little Bubba has not received an application for adoption. 2 1/2 year old Bubba is full of so much joy. He brightens all of our days.
