Turtle - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Bellingham, Washington

Hi, our names are Turtle and Terrapin! We are PURPLE pawprints, which means we will fit well into a home that meets some specific criteria. Here is what would work best for us in our new home:

-Personality: Affectionate, a little shy
-Can Live with Cats: Yes - we are a bonded pair and must go home together. Slow/supervised introductions to any other feline friends in the household.
-Can Live with Dogs: Unknown history - slow/supervised introductions.

Meet Turtle and Terrapin - a mother/son duo on the hunt for their furrever home together! These two play together, eat together, cuddle together, and would love to love on their new people together. They came in pretty shy, but after some much needed TLC, some yummy treats, and time to decompress they're coming more and more out of their shells. We think they'd fit well into most homes that give them all the things cats need - windows to perch out of, reassurance that they're safe, and the occasional treat or two. If you're interested in adopting them, please fill out an application!

If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website (www.whatcomhumane.org/adopt) or in person at our facility. We recommend calling into the shelter after your application has been submitted so our front desk can give you next steps on our adoption process.
