***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?

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.

Sadly, the return of the rabbit hemorrhagic disease has been confirmed in our community. There is a vaccine available to protect domestic rabbits. Orcas APS would like to assist in providing this vaccine. Please contact us at [email protected] with the number of rabbits you are interested in vaccinating and the best way to contact you. We hope to coordinate assistance soon.

***COURTESY POST***
Ohana is our beautiful, sleek, stealth cat. Sadly, we have to find a new home for her because we are moving out of the country.

She is a very smart, curious cat. She is very interested in people -- she likes to hang out with the family she lives with, and with visitors. She is also independent. She can be very affectionate, but she likes contact on her terms. Sometimes she likes to be petted; sometimes she likes to simply hang out with you in the same room.

You would not know that she is a 14-year-old cat! She acts much younger. She is very graceful, healthy, and active, and enjoys wandering the land. She doesn't meow much, but when she does, it is adorable -- more like a small "mew."

We're looking for a home in which she can continue to explore the outdoors. In the summer, her domain is as much outside as inside.

While she has lived with another cat her whole life, we would recommend her for a single cat household. We find she's more relaxed and affectionate when she's the only cat.

(We have created an Instagram page for Ohana, , with pictures and videos.)
If interested, please contact the shelter at (360)376-6777.

Disclaimer: The companion animal you are interested in is a courtesy post. Orcas APS often helps pets outside our organization to find new homes, and these are called "courtesy posts.” By courtesy posting pets from owners, we offer our website (and sometimes email assistance) as a resource to help their pet gain extra exposure. The pet’s bio comes directly from the owner, and we expect them to provide accurate information, to the best of their knowledge. Orcas APS in most cases has not met or evaluated these companion animals, so no information about a courtesy post is guaranteed. We cannot accept responsibility for any injury or damages to any person or property caused by any courtesy post animals. Courtesy post pets are the sole responsibility of the owner and the new family. In addition, Orcas APS is not obligated to take these pets in if the courtesy post adoption does not work out.
Also, although we occasionally might ask you to email us (if you’re interested in adopting a courtesy post pet), it’s just so we can help the owner connect with applicants. The owner will be rehoming the pet directly to the new home, not from Orcas APS.
