Orcas Animal Protection Society

Orcas Animal Protection Society Orcas APS is a 501[c][3] non-profit organization.

Our Mission: Through operating an animal shelter, we advocate for the welfare of animals in need by providing community support and compassionate care. The people and pets in our community are deeply important to us because they are the heart of what makes this a place we are proud to call home. We believe that the well-being of animals and the well-being of people are closely connected—when pets

are healthy, loved, and well cared for, our whole community thrives. Our goal is to ensure that every pet has a safe and loving home, and that every guardian has access to the knowledge, tools, and resources they need to provide the best possible care. By supporting both animals and the people who love them, we create the kind of compassionate, supportive environment where everyone—two-legged and four-legged alike—can flourish. Services Provided
* Accepting stray animals or those relinquished by an owner;
* Offering cats and dogs for adoption;
* Training volunteers for animal care tasks;
* Scanning of found animals for microchip identification;
* Feral cat testing for FIV and Feline Leukemia, as well as spaying or neutering before returning to their home territory;
* Offering lower cost spays and neuters. Services Not Provided
* Accepting any wild animals;
* Accepting gravely injured or obviously sick stray animals;
* Euthanizing animals, except if in the best interest of the animal.

***COURTESY POST***
Meet TipToe, a gentle 13-year-old sweetheart who is looking for a loving new home where she can be someone’s one-and-only feline friend.

TipToe is all about companionship. She just wants to be your buddy, sitting beside you on the couch, soaking up affection, and enjoying plenty of gentle rubs. She has been very healthy throughout her life, with no known health issues to date.

She may be a little shy when first meeting new people, but she warms up quickly and happily welcomes attention. TipToe needs to be the only cat in the home. However, she tolerates dogs just fine as long as they don’t chase her.

TipToe does wonderfully with all household members, including children and babies. If things ever get too noisy or overwhelming, she simply retreats to a quiet spot for a break. She is incredibly gentle and has never shown aggression, no biting, no scratching, just a calm and loving presence.

TipToe’s ideal home is one where she can be the center of attention, enjoy peaceful companionship, and spend her days close to her humans.

If you or someone you know might be the perfect match for this sweet girl, please contact us at (360)376-6777, and we’ll help connect you directly with her owner.

***COURTESY POST***
Meet Messi, a handsome 10-year-old American Shorthair classic tabby who is looking for a new forever home due to his family’s upcoming move. Unfortunately, their new housing does not allow cats, and they are hoping to find Messi a loving home where he can continue to thrive.

Messi is a cat for the people. He loves human company and is happiest cuddled up on the couch while you read a book or watch TV. He’s not much into toys. He prefers sunny naps, cozy fires, and quiet companionship. He is mostly an indoor cat but enjoys supervised time outside in a garden or on a porch close to home.

Messi would do best as the only pet, as he is not a fan of other cats or dogs and tends to hide around them. He’s well-suited for a household where someone is around most of the time and appreciates a calm, affectionate companion. He sings for his meals, and he comes with his own automatic feeder, which helps him stay on schedule and patiently wait for food time.

If you or someone you know might be a good fit for this sweet senior boy, please contact us at (360)376-6777, and we’ll help connect you directly with his owner.

UPDATE: Adopted 🐾

Make Mocha and Cocoa's Holiday Wishes Come True

If you’re searching for a pair of fluffy little couch warmers to bring warmth and joy into your home, look no further, Cocoa and Mocha are your perfect match. This inseparable four-year-old Havanese pair does everything together, and they’re ready to find a forever family who will love them just as much as they love each other.

Cocoa is the curious explorer of the duo. He loves sniffing out new smells, keeping track of birds and squirrels, and alerting you to anything interesting happening nearby—cars, deer, even airplanes! Once the excitement settles, he’ll curl up quietly in your lap for hours, happy to soak up all the gentle pets you’re willing to give.

Mocha is the confident, affectionate leader. She likes to be first in line for attention, and her constantly wagging tail and enthusiastic kisses make her impossible not to fall for. Mocha wants nothing more than to make her people happy, and she succeeds effortlessly.

Together, Cocoa and Mocha are a delightful blend of curiosity, affection, companionship, and love. They're bonded for life and can’t imagine being apart. They’re looking for a home that’s ready to welcome them both.

If you’ve been dreaming of double the snuggles, double the sweetness, and double the joy, Cocoa and Mocha can’t wait to meet you!
