My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Polo, a handsome 2-year-old black and white cat with a soft heart beneath his gentle, reserved demeanor. Polo may be a bit shy at first, but with a little patience, he blossoms into a sweet and affectionate companion who loves gentle petting and attention. Once he feels comfortable, Polo's loyalty and quiet charm make him a delightful friend who is always there to brighten your day. Polo is looking for a calm and understanding home where he can adjust at his own pace. Though he may be a little reserved initially, his affectionate side comes out as he grows more secure, making him a wonderful companion for anyone who enjoys a warm, easygoing friend. Polo would thrive in a peaceful and patient home, where he can be himself and gain confidence as he builds a bond with his new family. He would do best with someone who understands that trust takes time and is willing to provide the calm, loving environment he needs to feel at ease.
Our cat adoption fee is $70. They come spayed/neutered and microchipped. They receive the FVRCP (feline distemper combo) vaccine, have been dewormed with Pyrantel, and have been treated with selamectin for fleas.
Our website updates every hour, but some animals may be adopted faster than we can get them updated online.
If you'd like to check on the status of an animal, please call us at 360-352-2510. This is especially important if you are viewing this animal on any site other than Animal Services' website.

Additional adoption info
How much does it cost?
Cats are $70 and dogs are $90, no matter the age, breed, or sex of the animal.
We sometimes have other types of pets available for adoption, such as rabbits, birds, guinea pigs and other small animals. Adoption fees vary, depending upon the animal
--------------------------------------
How do I adopt a pet?
Once you visit the shelter and select your pet, you will be asked to complete an adoption application. The application will include information about how you plan to care for your new friend, where he or she will live, what your expectations of the pet's behavior may be and whether pets already in your home are legally licensed.
If you do not own your home, we will need to contact the legal property owner to verify that you may have the pet you are interested in.
Certain animals will have specific adoption requirements in addition to the general requirements. These can include a fence check, no small kids, etc.
If your application is approved, you will be asked to complete several other forms including an adoption contract. This process takes approximately 30 minutes.
The pet you select will remain at the shelter for transport to the veterinarian for its spay/neuter surgery.
