All of the volunteers and kitties at Kitty Harbor want to wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving! As a reminder, we will be closed this weekend for adoptions but back open Dec 3rd.

It’s the week when everyone gives thanks for the things they appreciate most. These kittens are hoping to spend it being really thankful for their new families! Stop in this Saturday from 12pm to 6pm or Sunday from 2pm to 6pm and spend your holiday giving thanks with a new kitten pal.

Ripper likes his turkey with ketchup.

Carlisle is hoping for lots of stuffing

Sampson can’t wait for the dinner rolls!

Tippy Toppy always pigs out on the cheese plate and is too full.

Smashers like mashed potatoes best.

Seal is worried there won’t be enough pie!

Cassie can’t decide – pecan pie or pumpkin. She might go with both!

Leeza hopes for green bean casserole.

Conner doesn’t mind leftovers the rest of the week. Mmmmm turkey!

Fiona would be most thankful if she could come home with a kitten. She loves to take care of them.

Down at Kitty Harbor, we believe that there’s no finer friend than a feline. We’ve got over 40 kittens to choose from this weekend, so head on down and find a BFF of your very own. Kitty Harbor is always open Saturdays from 12pm – 6pm and Sundays from 2pm – 6pm.

Butters wants to sit on your lap.

Tostito wants to play chase the laser pointer with you.

Limona very sincerely wants a hug.

Crabapple is peeking at you – he hopes you pick him up.

Sansa and Callie are BFF’s.

Moonpie will watch TV with you all night.

There’s gotta be a best friend somewhere in this kitten pile.

Mochi wants to snuggle by the fire.

The kitten pile just grew!

Sugarplum would like it if you brushed her hair.

Almond will share a late night snack with you. Maybe some oatmeal?

Ok, seriously. This is a big pile.

Chabbles: I’ve got the sneezes. Is this normal? Should my mom take me to the vet? Love, Dexter

Dexter: That could be an Upper Respiratory Infection, or URI. URI is almost always present in shelters, just as colds are common in children at daycare. URI is caused by a variety of organisms that cause symptoms such as sneezing, eye and nose discharge, congestion and lack of appetite. Sometimes when kitties get stressed – like moving to a new home – they can start to show signs of URI. If you are having any of these symptoms, your mom should call your vet, especially since URI can be contagious to your new animal brothers and sister. Yours truly, Chabbles

“Ahhhhhhhh-CHOO!”

This week we received an update from Kitty Harbor Alumni Murphy and Delfina, with a note and some kind words from their mom. Make sure you send your alumni updates to info@kittyharborseattle.org!

My boyfriend and I adopted two young adult cats from Kitty Harbor in June, and I just wanted to let you guys know that they have been a complete delight. It is hard to imagine our home without them now. Murphy had some health problems in the first couple months we had him, but he is in prime condition now. They adapted quickly to their new home, and, as you can see from the attached photo, they have become dear friends!! Thank you for the work that you do! We have been spreading the word about your fine organization.

Murphy and Delfina are the best of pals!

Chabbles: My mom wants to get me a new sibling. Does it matter if she brings home a boy or girl to be my kitten pal? Love, Moffitt

Moffitt: What gender of cat to adopt is a tricky question. If you don’t have any cats at home, and you are bringing home two kittens – it doesn’t matter. Two kittens will bond together and be bff’s for life. If your house already has a male cat in it, it also doesn’t matter – male cats will accept either a male or female as a new pal. But if your house has a female cat in it already – it’s best to bring home a male buddy. Sometimes female cats can get territorial and won’t accept a new girl around. Yours truly, Chabbles

Moffitt can’t wait to get a new sibling!

This week we received an update from Kitty Harbor Alumni Gus & Gary, with a note from their mom. Make sure you send your alumni updates to info@kittyharborseattle.org!

We just love Gus and Gary. We’ve had them 3 years now. Gus weighs almost 17 # and Gary about 8 1/2 and yet Gary’s clearly the Alpha cat! They are the sweetest, most loving cats we’ve ever had.

Gary might be small enough to fit in this basket, but he rules the roost at his house.

Gus doesn’t mind. He loves his brother.

The kittens went all out for Halloween and now their tired. You should stop by Kitty Harbor this Saturday from 12pm – 6pm or Sunday from 2pm – 6pm and find a snuggly kitten to take a nap with!

Kitten naps are best taken in large groups.

The larger the napping group the better!

Miss Eliza Pettigrew watches over all the kittens while they sleep.

Someone woke Timmie up – that was rude!

Joey is too handsome to nap – it might mess up his kitten hair.

Ok maybe just a quick nap.

Sansa naps one hour for each toe that she has – that means pretty much all day!

Shhhhh….Rounder is tired.

Who wouldn’t want to take a nap on a pink squishy bed?

Miguel has bed head.

Algonquin can’t find a bed big enough for his long legs.

Uh oh. Bert is planning to wake people up by jumping on them.

Gonkers would prefer a home with a king size bed. He likes to spread out.

Beasley would rather play with kitten toys than nap.

Herman lost the tip of his tail, but that doesn’t mean he still can’t snuggle!

Gilbert is too wired on Halloween candy to nap.

Ocelot would make a great kitten pillow. He has a big belly and a soft Maine Coon coat.

Berta is too busy being cute to get an shut eye.

These sun rays are keep Callie awake!

This week we received an update from Kitty Harbor Alum Ted, with a note from Ted’s mom. Make sure you send your alumni updates to info@kittyharborseattle.org!

Ted is now 3 and he moved in with us when he was 7months old. He is now enjoying his new cat ladders here in Seattle.

Ted is looking handsome on his cat ladder.
