Say hi to Mikey, our Pet of the Week! This young guy was recently brought in as a stray. Mikey is a spirited cat with a fun-loving personality. He can get a little too excited when playing, so he would do best in a home with a cat-savvy family that knows when to give him […]

Give a warm welcome to Frosty, our Pet of the Week! This young guy came to us from eastern Washington. So how did he get the name “Frosty”? Once upon a time, he was running loose in the snow and got frostbite on his toes and tail. His tail had to be amputated, and he […]
Meet David! David Howerton has impressed so many RASKC staff, volunteers, and customers with his amazing dedication and gentle disposition. While a great many RASKC volunteers are extraordinarily dedicated, not many can match the number of hours and shifts that David has contributed in a relatively brief period of time. From the time that he started seven months ago as a Cat Meet and Greet volunteer, he has worked more than 412 hours over 190 shifts. While this includes the time he has contributed with RASKC pet visits to a local retirement home, it does not include additional foster hours that he has given. Simply amazing. Not only is David extremely generous with his time, his affable and helpful nature makes everyone want to spend more time with him. Thank you, David!

RASKC, along with other pet agencies, were selected to take part in a fun, community service project held at Zulily‘s studios. The project was created in the hopes of raising awareness of shelter pets by donating their time and expertise to capture the pets in a softer light, namely in a home-like setting. Zulily, which provided exclusive access to their studios and creative staff, set three beautiful backdrops ranging from playful room, to the “We’re going on vacation!” feel, and finally “This is home” vibe.
Below is an interview with the two amazing professionals that took action and got involved! (to see photos from the shoot, scroll past interview).
THANK YOU JASON HERITAGE, SEAN GUMM AND THE WHOLE ZULILY TEAM!
That’s one good-looking cat for Pet of the Week! Gertie is a ten-year-old girl looking for her fur-ever home. She came to RASKC as a very difficult cat to manage, and was placed in our foster program to see if some home love and care could calm her. Thanks to her foster family, Gertie is […]
