Earthquake is doing well--just not as confident as her sister. She is healthy, growing fast, and has no issues using the litter box (we thought she was making poor choices, but whoever the culprit was, it hasn`t happened for a week). She prefers to stay in `safe` hidden spots throughout the day (under tables, in kitty caves, etc.) but will venture out to watch Tsunami play, eat/drink, and use her litter box. She is very cautious and will need a quiet home with patient owners experienced with cats--people willing to be very intentional about spending time with her daily earning her trust. She and Tsunami spend their day playing and snuggling with one another. When approached, she first hisses, but after a couple of minutes of pets, she often relaxes and sometimes even falls asleep belly up! We enjoy her, have seen slow but steady growth in her confidence, and optimistically think that with enough time, she`ll warm up to people she trusts enough to allow pets.
Please remember that they are kittens 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 Ellensburg Humane Society. 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
