We’re not just about dogs and cats – here’s Tato, our Pet of the Week!

This little guinea pig was brought in to the Pet Adoption Center in early March because his previous owner was no longer able to care for him.

Tato is a sweet little boy who would like a family to interact with him and keep him stimulated. In return, Tato will entertain you with his antics and affection!

Like many guinea pigs, Tato can be shy, so his personality color is Bashful Blue. Tato is a gentle and loving guinea pig who likes to take things slow. He may get nervous in new situations, so he would need a family who understands that he might need some time to warm up. Once Tato gets to know you, he will be a very devoted friend!

Like all pets from RASKC, Tato’s adoption comes with a free visit to the veterinarian of your choice and 30 days of opt-in pet insurance through Trupanion. Also, since he is our Pet of the Week, his adoption fee has been reduced!

Along with Tato, we have two other guinea pigs looking for new forever homes: Peppa and Pig. You can find out more about Tato and his furry friends on our website at kingcounty.gov/AdoptAPet. RASKC continues to do Adoptions by Appointment only, so go to the website to schedule a visit. If you have more questions, contact RASKC at 206-296-7387 (PETS) or pets@kingcounty.gov.
