Garnet - Tabby and Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Republic, Washington

Considering adopting? The first step is to complete our online Adoption Application at http://forgetmenotshelter.org/application

Please do not call the shelter; do the application first.

Introducing Diamond and Garnet, a pair of gentle shorthaired siblings born about 5/1/2026, who arrived as part of a feral trap-neuter-return operation. These sweet kitties are clearly not feral; they are still a little bit unsure of their new surroundings, yet they are quite willing to make friends with the staff and volunteers, and are happy to meet the other shelter kitties. They are young enough that they should also adapt quickly to families with cat-friendly dogs, if given a slow introduction.

Diamond is a lovely brown tabby with white female

Garnet is a handsome grey tabby with white male


We'd love to see all kittens go to homes that have another young, playful kitten, or to send 2 of them out as a pair (which gives you a great pair discount rate), but we do not require pair adoptions. If you prefer to adopt just one, and you don't have a similarly aged kitten at home already, please read our information on Single Kitten Syndrome. Then, when you apply for a single kitten, please let us know in the "Comments" field how you plan to deal with the "kitten crazies."

All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee is a suggested minimum of $70 (more gratefully accepted). All pets are placed with a 30-day money-back trial period, to give pet and family enough time to discover any unknown allergies or other conflicts.

Can't come to Republic? Don't let that stop you! We have monthly transports to the Seattle area, delivering adopted pets to their new owners. If you can add a little to your donation to help us cover our volunteer driver's expenses, that would be great!
