South Sound Critter Care

Animal Care:Kitten Summary: In 2024 the kitten program received 154 cats and kittens into our care. Unfortunately, 5 were sick and died while in our care. We still have three in our care, so we adopted 146 cats and kittens during 2024. We also obtained a 10' x44' trailer paid for with a grant for our cat/kitten care and adoption activities. We had to bring utilities to it which took some time and expense. This new facility will enable our program to provide more felines with care than what we had at Sawyer Lake Veterinary Hospital. The need is great as there is no shelter the two cities next to our facility: Maple Valley and Covington which are growing annually.
