3. Jesse

Adult · Male · Tuxedo / Mixed (short coat) · 68 mi from Bellevue

I’m Jesse a big handsome tuxedo boy. I’m seven years old and I have a lot of stories to tell. My first family moved away and left me behind. Then some kind neighbors adopted me since I’m so lovable. Fast forward six years and THEY moved across the country and had to leave me here! Seems like the van driver didn’t want to listen to my commentary all the way to Illinois. Ok, I am pretty vocal I’ll admit. Maybe there’s some Siamese in my family tree, who knows? I’ve got a lot to say but I’ve heard some people find it charming. If that’s you, get me out of here! I’m lonely. But only for people, I’m not a fan of cats. I’m all the cat you need!

Adult · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 82 mi from Bellevue

Velvet is a 7 year old girl, friendly and talktative. A pretty tuxedo with one white eyebrow, she is a bit on large side as she loves her chow. She loves to play with catnip toys and dangly wiggly toys. She loves to eat, and will be reminding you when it's mealtime. She loves the canned food and only nibbles at the kibble. She loves treats. She is very investigative, and you'll find her in your cabinets checking them out. She loves to nap on towels. At night she will be right at your side, suggled up to your legs and purring. Velvet would prefer to be an only cat. She gets along with the foster's cats, but would be happy without other companionship.

Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 82 mi from Bellevue

Meet Iris, the spayed female kitten with the Racing StripeMeet our sweet 5-and-a-half-month-old tuxedo girly, with her adorable face and unique "racing stripe" down her forehead; she's impossible to forget. This playful, affectionate kitten loves toys, exploring, and snuggling up after a busy day of adventures. Full of purrs, personality, and love, she's ready to find a forever family to call her own.Her ideal home would be strictly indoors and paired with another animal. She is great with other cats and would likely do well with a cat-friendly dog. She has not met children yet, but I'm positive she would just love a gentle, cat-experienced little one to play with! All of our cats come spayed or neutered, microchipped, and with their initial age-appropriate vaccinations.

29. Mira

Young · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 82 mi from Bellevue

Mira is a one-and-a-half-year-old Tuxedo cat with a personality as bold as his markings. Thanks to his absolute love for his exercise wheel, he has a very slender, athletic build. He sports several distinct markings, including unique patterns around his eyes that make it look like he’s wearing mascara.Mira is a rambunctious, loving boy who is truly the life of the party. Brimming with energy, he seems to take his life inspiration from Jim Carrey movies, channeling that comedic, high-octane spirit into everything he does. If you call his name, he will gladly "yell" back and forth with you, often following up the conversation by hiding behind a wall to play peek-a-boo.

Occasionally, he’ll drift into a "thousand-yard stare," looking completely perplexed by the mysteries of the world around him.Health & HabitsDietary Needs: Mira has some gastrointestinal sensitivities that require special care. We have successfully managed these with a specific diet, which will need to be maintained in his new home.Quirks: He has a habit of chewing on plastic; while he doesn't seem to swallow it, his adopters should keep an eye on him to keep him safe. Mira is very intelligent and can be very persistent when he sets his mind to get something he wants!The Ideal Match: The best home for Mira would be one that is patient and affectionate. While he is a loving boy, his high energy makes him a bit of a handful! He would excel in a home with plenty of enrichment opportunities to keep him occupied and keep his mind sharp. He can be shy around new people and may get spooked and hide initially, so he needs a family that will let him settle in at his own pace. Mira is currently in a household with other cats and does very well with them. He has lived with dogs and children, though watch him closely, as he can become impatient with too much stimulation and may try to scratch. Mira loves to snuggle right next to his person at bedtime, but he’s not a bed hog. Just a very sweet boy. All of our cats come spayed or neutered, microchipped, and with age-appropriate vaccinations. Young cats have an adoption fee of $175. If you would like to apply to be a forever home for this cat, please fill out a statement of interest at www.alternativehumanesociety.com.

30. Skye

2 Years · Female · Russian Blue / Mixed · 65 mi from Bellevue

Russian Blue Alert!

Say Hello to Skye, our 2 year old Russian Blue Mix!

Skye is a little more reserved than her sister, Molly and wants to make sure you're trustworthy before she allows you to bask in all her glory. She isn't above a little Churru bribery though. Like her sister, she does enjoy those full body pets. Once you've won this girl over, she's all yours.

Skye is looking for a quiet, patient home that can let her get comfortable and show off that amazing personality on her own terms. She also is fine with hanging out at home while her person is at work, but would prefer there to be a cat tree or shelves that she can claim as her own.

Adopting a cat in Bellevue

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
