Padme - Tortoiseshell 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 the Star Wars litter, born about 6/3/2026. These youngsters, part of a feral trap-neuter-return operation, are currently a little shy with their new surroundings, but are definitely handleable and young enough to adapt quickly to life as pampered pets. They do great with other cats... will run and hide from toddlers... and could learn to co-exist with a polite cat-friendly doggo.

These siblings include:

KYLO - male medium-hair orange/white fluffers

PADME - female short-hair tortoiseshell

JANGO - male short-hair black/white with little white mustache

REY - female medium-hair black/white fluffers

(they need a little more time to decompress before we try a video - and we'll get some more photos too)

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 $85 (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!
