According to a recent poll of our shelter dogs, here are the top 5 reasons why you should buy a pet license:

#1 - “It makes me look cool"

#2 - “It helps animal control officer know where my family lives if I get lost"

#3 - “I like that jingly noise it makes when I do my zoomies"

#4 - “It helps provide animal control officers to rescue me if I'm hurt or lost"

#5 - “It helps to provide for a safe place for lost pets to stay until they are reunited with their families"

And these pups are right - it significantly helps us to protect your pet and looks super cool! Not only is a pet license required in the municipal codes of the 7 cities we serve, it is also the right thing to do. By purchasing and renewing your pet licenses for a small fee, you are helping to provide animal control and sheltering services for your community. And you can do it online, so it's quick and east!

So happy for all of our abandoned, unwanted, and unhoused kitties who have found new forever homes where they will give and receive unconditional love. And so thankful to everyone who visited our shelter this week and brought home an adorable furball to add to their family.

Hooray for adoption! Hooray for shelter kitties! Hooray for Kramer and Elaine, for Blueberry and Cobbler, for Auto and Rachel, and for Freedom!!!!!!!!!!

** KITTEN CAM ** At just six weeks old, these kittens are getting very curious about their surroundings. Every day we will see them become more adventurous and playful, as our volunteers work with them on socialization to help get them ready for adoption day. Once they are two months old, our staff will be doing growth benchmark weigh-ins and having the kittens spayed or neutered, and then it's off to the adoption room to find a forever home.

For these kittens, that should be just before Christmas. So let's play a fun game... what would you name 2 boy and 2 girl kittens, with a Christmas movie themed? We will go first: Clark, Eddie, Bethany, and Margo. What's your idea?

How you doin?!?! Need new *FRIENDS* to be there for you? Looking for your “lobster”?

Yes?!? Then “pivot, pivot pivot!!!!!!” from wherever you are over to the Metro Animal Shelter in Puyallup, because we have the six kittens named after everyone’s favorite friends. And could they BE any cuter?

For our furry friends Joey, Monica, Ross, Phoebe, Rachel and Chandler, an adoption would be perfection. And we promise, no smelly cats in this bunch!

The shelter is open today from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., then “we are on a break!” for Sunday and Monday, and back open again on Tuesday. These kittens will be there waiting for you -- will you be there for them too?

And remember… Adoption – good! Spay – good! Neuter – good!
