3. Jesse
Adult · Male · Tuxedo / Mixed (short coat) · 91 mi from Tacoma


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!

We are both litter box trained and easy to have around. We have bob tails and beautiful markings. We’ve always been together but might consider going solo for the right home.

Meet Haru! Haru is a handsome 3-year-old guy who has perfected the art of living life at his own pace. During the day, you’ll most likely find him snoozing in one of his favorite cozy spots, because why waste energy when there are naps to be had? But don’t let that sleepy personality fool you—Haru is a nighttime guy! Once the sun goes down, his inner kitten comes out, and he may entertain himself with some late-night zoomies and exploring. He loves checking out his surroundings and finding the perfect hiding spot, comfy nap location, or window where he can keep an eye on the neighborhood.Haru can be cuddly, but he believes cuddles should happen on his schedule.
Read more about Haru
He’s happy to hang out with his people, but he’ll let you know when he’s ready for affection. He does okay with respectful children, but he would prefer kids who understand that poking, pestering, or bothering him isn't the way to win his heart. Dogs: Haru is not a fan and would prefer a dog-free home. Cats: He has never lived with another cat, so we don't know how he would feel about a feline roommate. Closed doors: Absolutely not! Haru believes every door in his home should remain open for exploration. He likes having the freedom to wander around and investigate all the best hiding, sleeping, and window-watching spots.Haru does have one important medical need. He is currently on a special urinary diet, and this will need to remain part of his routine for the rest of his life. His future family will need to be committed to keeping him on his prescribed food to help keep him healthy and feeling his best. ❤️If you're looking for a laid-back companion who enjoys naps, nighttime adventures, exploring every corner of the house, and affection when he decides it's cuddle time, Haru might just be your guy!

23. Skye
2 Years · Female · Russian Blue / Mixed · 89 mi from Tacoma


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.

24. Molly
2 Years · Female · Russian Blue / Mixed · 89 mi from Tacoma


Red alert! Russian Blue Alert!
Welcome to sweet Molly, our 2 year old Russian Blue Mix Lady!
One of my favorite quotes about Russian Blues is "It's not fur, it's Russian Blue Glitter!" and Molly fits that so well. Molly is a little on the shy side, but is more outgoing than her sister, Skye. She also would never say no to a lickable treat.
Read more about Molly
One of the cute quirks about Molly is that she likes when you pet her, but isn't quite a fan of being scratched. She loves those full body strokes verses someone paying attention to one spot too much. She just wants you to worship all of her at once. She loves to climb and is definitely more of a sky cat to ground cat.
Molly is looking for a quiet home, though she is used to being left alone while her human goes to work. She just may demand a little extra churru love when you return.
If you think Molly would be a purrfect fit for your heart and home, please reach out to Laura at 540-272-3506.

Got an extra cat bed and a big heart? I'm looking for a patient, loving person who will give me the time I need to blossom. I was rescued from under a house with my five kittens, and its been quite a journey. My foster mom says I'm the gentlest cat she's ever known — I would never bite or swat. For most of my nearly two years, I didn't know people could be a source of love and comfort. I was a devoted mom who always let my babies eat first and kept them safe when things got scary. Then something wonderful happened: I discovered pets, purring, and even laps! Im still learning, and I sometimes hide when I feel unsure, but Im doing it less and less. More and more, Im coming out to watch the household action and even join in.

I love being around other cats and don't mind dogs. Im a litter-box pro and, best of all, I've decided I never want to live outside again. I'm ready to become the soft, spoiled housecat I was meant to be. I just need someone who believes in me and will be patient while I learn how wonderful life can be. Maybe you're my special someone?

Watching Mabel play is like having your own personal feline Olympics.But once the games are over, Mabel transforms into a sweetheart who melts for head pets, chin scratches, and cheek rubs. She'll dramatically flop onto the floor beside you, requesting more attention, and happily meows when her favorite person walks into the room.

Churu treats are also high on her list of life's greatest joys.Mabel has experienced a lot of change in a short time and will need a patient, cat-savvy adopter who understands that trust takes time.

Her foster has watched her blossom from a frightened kitty into a loving companion, and it has been incredibly rewarding.We believe Mabel would do best as an only pet where she can be the center of someone's world. Once she trusts you, she'll form a special bond and become the devoted best friend you've been waiting for.✨ Spayed✨ Vaccinated✨ Microchipped✨ Ready for her forever homeIf you have the patience to help Mabel settle in and the heart to love a cat who will truly love you back, please contact Patricia at: dpcadams@comcast.net❤️ Some cats are instant companions.

He also gets along well with other cats, so he may be a wonderful addition to a feline-friendly household. Dogs, however, are not his cup of tea, and he’d prefer a home where he doesn’t have to share his space with any canine companions.Betelgeuse has had several teeth removed, so he needs a little extra consideration at mealtime. Crunchy kibble can be difficult for him to manage, and he’ll need a primarily wet-food diet to keep his tummy happy and his meals comfortable. It’s a small accommodation for a boy who has so much love to give!If you’re looking for a devoted companion with a soft heart, a star-speckled coat, and a serious talent for cuddling, Betelgeuse might just be your brightest discovery. He’s ready to leave the shelter behind and find a cozy corner of the universe to call his own.Could you be the center of Betelgeuse’s universe? ⬛Adoption fee includes:✅ Spay/Neuter✅ Vaccines✅ Microchip✅ Treated for fleas and worms Interested in meeting Betelgeuse?Email us at: adoption@columbiahumane.org to request an application.Adoption Fee: $175For more information call 503-397-4353 or email adoption@columbiahumane.org
29. Ace
1 Year · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 89 mi from Tacoma










Ace is a handsome, Domestic Short Hair tabby male. His birthday is September 19, 2025. This sweet boy has only one wish - to be chosen and adopted.
Ace was initially place in a foster home where he had a wonderful connection, but was moved to another when deployment duty called. Ace has been brave at adapting as he met new foster humans and new kitten friends in these last months.
Read more about Ace
When he first arrived at his current foster home, he was really savvy at playing hide & seek with his humans until he knew he was in a safe place. Now he is out and about, enjoying life! Ace is a content, independent cat who likes to be on top of the cat tree, inside a tunnel, sitting in a sunbeam, or up in the window to watch the world. He plays with toys often and keeps himself entertained with his springs, plastic milk lids and tinfoil pouncer ball.
Ace really enjoys to be petted, especially his cheeks. Ace started off a bit shy, I think because he has had a few foster placements, but is very curious about people and wants companionship. When we sit on the couch, he will hop up next to you for pets. He will roll over and likes his belly rubbed. Ace will sit very close to you and put his paw on your arm, asking you to stay. He will sit and nap on my lap and give lovely hugs with his arms. Ace greets me when I enter the room and is always ready for breakfast or treats! We have seen Ace grow so much these last weeks in accepting the affection he so desires and deserves! he is just a sweet, kind boy!
Ace enjoys the company of other cats. Ace was the good groomer of two foster kittens; he's quite patient with them. When sleeping in a bed, he let the kittens climb in on top of him. Ace was the best at taking care of the kittens. He would do well as a solo cat or in the company of other cats.
This is a special cat looking for his perfect match. With a safe and patient owner, he will be a trusting, loving companion.
Ace has been in a loving and safe foster home partnered with Friends For Life Animal Rescue. All kittens have been fixed, microchipped, tested for FIV and Feline Leukemia, are up to date on their vaccinations and, per our policy, have been treated for potential ear mites, worms and fleas.
If you think you have room in your heart and home for this adorable kitten, please contact Laura at 540-272-3506.

Adopting a cat in Tacoma
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.
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.
