Four months ago, kittens Money and Jackpot were born near a casino. Today on , you can help these siblings and hundreds more kitties like them with every gift! Tune in to our YouTube channel for a livestream of this adorable duo (see comments for link). There will be some surprises coming up, so make sure to keep checking back as we celebrate Giving MEWSday!

We’re starting with Floyd’s story of resilience. When this little guy came to SAFe, he was just 3 days old and had not yet even opened his eyes. So often, we have the joy of seeing kittens grow up and find loving families, but that's not always the reality.

Just a few days after their arrival, it was clear that Floyd's four siblings weren't gaining weight. The little family was rushed to the ICU where they tested positive for a devastating virus called panleukopenia, also known as feline parvo, or distemper.

All we could do was try to support the tiny kittens, keep them warm, keep them hydrated, keep them fed, and hold our breath. But over the next week, Floyd lost all four of his sisters and brother, and with each kitten that passed, our hearts broke. But tiny Floyd wouldn't give up. During a tragic time, he gave us hope.

Today on Giving Tuesday, you can increase your impact on cats like Floyd. Each dollar you donate through midnight will be doubled, saving twice as many lives. Together, we can give kitties like Floyd the fighting chance they need to grow big and strong, so they can find the loving homes all cats deserve.

A few weeks ago, a very pregnant young kitty called Greta wandered into a stranger's house looking for a safe place to give birth to her kittens. Thanks to your help, Greta and her kittens now have full bellies and a clean, cozy place to stay.

Tomorrow is , and you have an opportunity to save even more lives like Greta and her kittens. Your donation goes even further thanks to a challenge match from a generous group of supporters. That means that your donations will be doubled, up to $15,500, when you donate before midnight on Tuesday 12/3.

Visit https://www.seattleareafelinerescue.org/giving/giving-tuesday-2024/ to make your donation today! We’ll be updating this page throughout the day with updates, cat stories, and an adorable kitten cam, so make sure to check back for warm fuzzies as we celebrate this day of community giving.

Go, Flo, Go! She’s light on her feet with quick reflexes, but beneath her expert "mouse" combat training is a heart of gold! With an enriching environment, room to explore, and some positive enforcement training, Flo will go from capturing these sneaky screen critters to capturing your heart. Come to SAFe Rescue to witness her in all her glory! After yesterday’s closure, the Adoption Center is back open its usual hours, 12-6 through Saturday with some openings for appointments Sundays.

Can you hear the purrs coming from this photo? Now multiply that by over 1,400. That’s how many kitties have gone home so far this year thanks to the generosity, compassion, and dedication of our community.
We are so tremendously grateful for each and every one of you: from our volunteers taking time out of their busy schedules to keep things running to our fearless fosters taking on new challenges because they know every cat deserves a chance; to our staff ensuring the health and comfort of every resident and to the donors stocking our pet pantry (and the team carefully organizing those donations!); to the adopters who brought Rescue kitties into their families and to those that give what they can, when they can. We see you, we thank you, and we are so glad to have you in our SAFe family.
The Adoption Center will be closed today, Thursday Nov. 28th, to allow staff and volunteers to rest and celebrate with their friends and family. We will be open again Friday and Saturday at our usual times, 12-6. We look forward to seeing you then!

Meet Titan! His eyes are icy blue, but his warm nature is sure to melt your heart. Due to a previous nerve injury, he needs some bathroom help, but he’s a good sport about wearing diapers and has no trouble moving around. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this big softie, visit: https://home-home.org/pets/47849dc1-6096-48f3-afb3-653cd796081a

Home to Home is an interactive platform allowing pet owners to find new, loving homes for their pets without having to surrender them to a shelter or rescue. SAFe has partnered with Home to Home to help more pets in the area! (Titan is not in the care of SAFe Rescue - you can reach his family directly and learn more about making him yours via his Home-to-Home posting.)
