Seattle Area Feline Rescue: Grant Report

How did this grant help your organization and the pets in your care?

SAFe Rescue used this grant to fund routine pre-adoption care (including food, litter, vaccinations, and medical exams) for cats and kittens, and to find them loving homes.

At a time when more community members than ever are eager to experience the companionship and comfort that pets can offer, the Adoption Options grant from the Petfinder Foundation made it possible to take in more felines, give them the care they needed, and unite them with loving families.

How many pets did this grant help?

Please provide a story of one or more specific pets this grant helped.

Eeyore (first and second photos) and Smol (third photo) were found as tiny kittens trying to survive in an alley. In need of a second chance, they came to SAFe Rescue, where an Adoption Options grant from the Petfinder Foundation made it possible for them to get the care they needed to recover from skin infections. These adorable kitty brothers found a home in December, just in time to spend the holidays with their new family!

Leonard (fourth and fifth photos) came from a region in Eastern Washington where there are many homeless cats. This gentle giant received the care he needed thanks to a grant from the Petfinder Foundation, and his FIV+ status didn’t stop him from finding a family where he could live happily with his brother Sheldon (sixth photo)!
