Frequently Asked Questions

When is 'Kitten Season' in Seattle? +

Kitten season typically begins in early Spring (March/April) and lasts through the Fall. During this time, local shelters are overwhelmed with litters of kittens needing homes. If you want to adopt a kitten, this is the best time to look!

Do I have to adopt kittens in pairs? +

Many rescues strongly recommend or even require that kittens under 6 months old be adopted in pairs. This prevents 'Single Kitten Syndrome'—kittens learn important socialization skills from each other and burn off excess energy together, making them much easier to raise.

How much are kitten adoption fees? +

Kitten adoption fees are usually higher than adult cats, often ranging from $150 to $250. These fees help subsidize the care of older or special-needs cats who are harder to adopt out, and they cover the kitten's spay/neuter surgery and initial vaccines.

Are kittens spayed or neutered before adoption? +

Yes, almost all reputable rescues in Washington require kittens to be fixed before they go home. This is usually done when the kitten reaches 2 pounds (around 8 weeks of age).

How long does the kitten adoption process take? +

Kittens are in incredibly high demand. While some shelters allow same-day adoptions, many rescues require you to apply in advance. To speed up the process, get pre-approved at a few local rescues so you're ready when a litter becomes available.
