Have a laugh and wear a smile for that (not quite yet) world-famous cat, Tom – our Pet of the Week!

This buff/orange tabby came to us in late August thanks to a good Samaritan. Tom is an affectionate lovebug who would be thrilled to cuddle up with you at home. He is a bit shy, so he’s one of our “Bashful Blue” personality pets. Tom likes to take things slow, so he needs a calm, quiet home with people who understand that he may need some time to warm up. Once he gets to know you, Tom will be a very devoted feline friend!

Do you have room in your heart and home for Tom? He is neutered, litterbox trained, and microchipped. His adoption comes with many benefits, including 30 days of opt-in pet insurance through Trupanion. Since he’s our Pet of the Week, Tom’s adoption fee has been reduced, though a pet license fee may still apply. Learn about all the benefits that come with a pet license at kingcounty.gov/LicenseMyPet.

The King County Pet Adoption Center is located at 21615 64th Ave. S. in Kent. Walk-in adoption hours are weekdays noon to 5 p.m., and weekends noon to 4 p.m. You can find all of our adoptable pets online at kingcounty.gov/AdoptAPet.
