Hansel - 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.

Meet Handsome Hansel! This dashing guy, born 2/22/26, came to us when his owner could no longer care for him, and he is ready to wander out of the woods and straight into your home. Weighing in at just over 6 lbs, Hansel is a delightfully relaxed young cat who carries himself with true majesty as he calmly oversees his domain.

While he definitely has a fun, playful side, his heart’s true desire is much simpler: treats! Much like the fairytale, a trail of tasty treats is the absolute best way to win over this sweet prince.

Hansel gets along great with other cats, adores people, and is always down for a little love and affection. He would also do fine living with a dog—though in true royal fashion, he'd likely just glide past them with total nonchalance, keeping a cool, dignified distance while they do their silly dog things.

If you are looking for a regal, easygoing companion to live happily ever after with, Hansel is the perfect fit!


All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Hansel 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!
