My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Dusk, a three month old male kitten.

Dusk is a sweet boy who would prefer a quieter home with someone who will help him come out of his shell (hint, he can be bribed with treats). He can get startled by small things and then works himself up so we think starting him in a small room like a bathroom would be best so he get get used to you and not be able to hide. He sometimes needs some "forced love" and when you hold and pet him he slowly melts until he is a purring ball of putty in your hands. If you think you can put in a little more time with a sweet boy he might be the kitty for you. Please remember that Dusk is a kitten and kitten behavior comes with the package. They need lots of toys and places to scratch to learn good scratching habits. They also need patience as they finesse their litter box skills in a new home they are unfamiliar with.

This pet is available for adoption at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you are interested in adopting this pet please fill out an adoption questionnaire at www.yakimahumane.org. A Yakima Humane Society staff member will contact you once your questionnaire has been processed. Adopters are welcome to visit the adoption center Monday-Saturday.

A Picture says 1000 words...right? While an animal's picture draws interest, the reality is that as a potential adopter most people would like as much information as possible about a pet. The Yakima Humane Society is an open admission shelter. What does this mean? Over 90% of the pets at the adoption center arrive as strays, no history of behavior or medical care is known. Adding a pet to your family is a big responsibility. Please research carefully and remember that adoption is life saving. Before you go searching for free kittens or kittens for sale, check your local Shelters for available cats and kittens that have been vetted and are ready to go home. Adopt Don't Shop.
