We are currently in a state of crisis with the unusually heavy kitten season. We abound with highly adoptable, social cats in need of forever and even temporary foster homes.

This is a plea to our community to come learn the joys of living with a feline.

All adoption fees are waived from today August 10th through August 16th for adult felines. As well, those interested in trying out a feline temporarily, or being a lifesaving foster may contact Heidi Dahl at hdahl@kitsap-humane.org.

In Celebration of Bully Breed Awareness Month, KHS will be offering a Bully Breed class to the community on August 28th from 3:30 - 5:30 p.m. and sponsored Pit Fixes. Several breeds of dogs are commonly referred to as bully breeds: the American Pit Bull Terrier and the American Staffordshire Terrier, the Miniature Bull Terrier and the Bull Terrier and the American Bulldog. However, breeds such as the Rottweiler, Doberman pinscher, chow chow and boxer are also thought to be bully breeds by many in the dog world.

Kitsap Humane Society’s efforts to stop euthanasia of homeless animals have intensified in 2010. As of this July, Kitsap Humane Society Low Cost Spay/Neuter program has altered 840 community pets which is a service offered to the public at a very low cost. Our goal is to deliver a minimum of 1200 spay and neuter surgeries to the community by year’s end.
