As our week of winds to a close, we want to take a moment to share our gratitude for each and every one of you!💗

No matter what has brought you to SAFe, you play a vital role in this community. Your time, energy, and generosity make our mission possible, and every act of care helps create brighter, safer lives for cats in desperate need of a chance. We couldn’t do this without you, and the love you share is felt in every purr, every cuddle, and every happy adoption.

However you observe this season of gratitude, we hope you are able to rest, rejuvenate, and know that your contributions are making the world a better place for our feline friends.🐾

Our Adoption Center is closed for Thanksgiving this Thursday, 11/27. The humans on our staff might be taking cat naps today, but don't worry, future adopters! They'll be returning as usual on Friday, 11/28 to resume regular Adoption Weekend hours (12-6 PM trough Sunday)!

Today we are for the teamwork that makes the dream work! Each member of our staff and board bring their unique skills, experiences, and enthusiasm to the table. Whatever hardships a cat has faced before arriving at SAFe Rescue, once they’re here, they find kindness and hope thanks to the unwavering devotion of the SAFe Rescue Team. (Not that we’re biased or anything. 😸)

Happy Tuesday! We’re today for the donors whose generosity fills the bowls, beds, and hearts of kitties like Duffy!

With one week away, we’ve been thinking a lot about how compassion is shared through our community. A purrfect example of this is our Helping Paw Circle, a group of over 350 individuals who make a monthly donation to support cats at the Rescue. Coming from all ages and backgrounds, their shared commitment to helping cats is a lifeline for kitties who need it most.

Winter may be the season of gift-giving, but your support keeps the giving spirit alive all year long. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for sharing a helping paw. 🐾

This time we’re to the heroes who help behind the scenes, our exceptional volunteers!

A lot of work goes into keeping Rescue operations afloat. Something as seemingly simple as moving laundry along or taking out the trash can make all the difference (caring for cats can get messy!) We also depend on volunteers for day-to-day cat care, adoption counseling, pet pantry organization, help with events and outreach, and much more!

Whatever the task, volunteers are the heartbeat of SAFe Rescue!

Today we’re to our generous in-kind donation partners! Litter, food, care supplies, and enrichment tools are all in high demand in the animal welfare world. We are grateful to be able to count on a steady supply of these resources thanks to our valued partnerships. We know the kitties appreciate it, too!

Next we’re to our phenomenal foster families! Rearing kittens from infancy to adoption, devoting extra time to a cat struggling with behavioral issues, tending to cats with medical needs in a home environment, or simply giving extra space to longer-stay cats…our fosters do it all!

📣 Heads up, friends! We have a few adjusted hours for the holidays. Both the Adoption Center and Pet Pantry will be closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. But we'll be open regular operating hours on Black Friday, Christmas Eve, and the rest of the year!

In recognition of the thankful season, we’re dedicating the next week to Cat Gratitude! First on our list are our Intake Partners!

Ever wonder how kitties get here? We rely on a hard-working network of independent rescuers, TNR (trap-neuter-release) groups, and partner shelters across Washington state, as well as transport partners for at-risk animals out of state. There are so many ways and reasons why a cat comes to SAFe Rescue, but thanks to our intake partners, every incoming kitty can look forward to a second chance!

Kitten season may be winding down, but our tiniest felines are still reminding us just how life-saving your support can be. 🍼💛 As our bottle babies “graduate” from round-the-clock care, there’s still time to make a gift to our Bottle Baby Campaign and help the next little ones who need us.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of Svanee's Foundation, all donations will be matched up to $20,000! That means your gift goes twice as far for vulnerable kittens and cats in our community.

Follow the link in our bio, or the link below, to provide a gift and help these bottle babies, and others like them, grow strong and healthy so they can find their future adoptive home!

Playtime is twice as fun with a buddy, just ask Screech and Tox! Hiding spots, pipe cleaners, cat toys, a towel, each other....everything these boys encounter is the most exciting thing EVER! Bring them home and watch your living room transform into the ultimate amusement park!

Screech and Tox are ready (SO ready!) for adoption, and so are lots of other nifty kitties! Meet them, greet them, and add them to your family by visiting SAFe's Adoption Center, open Thurs-Sun, 12-6 PM.
