BERTHA
Domestic medium hair, female
Color: Black
Size: Large
Age: Senior
Special needs: none
Bertha is a big, beautiful girl with medium-length silky black hair. She is a funny girl, hilarious actually, who loves her food – she’s a little overweight. She loves to rub against people and wind through and around their legs. One of her favorite spots to sit is in her cat tree. Doesn’t seem to matter what level she’s on; she really loves the tree. And she will entertain you for hours with her unique purrsonality!
PANTHER
Domestic short hair, male
Color: Black
Size: Medium
Age: Young
Bonded sister: Tiger
Special needs: none
Panther and his sister, Tiger, are very sweet cats who love to play. They came from a safe indoor/outdoor home after their person passed. These young siblings are devoted to each other, and need to find their new forever home together.
TIGER
Flamepoint / Domestic short hair, female
Color: Flame point
Size: Medium
Age: Young
Bonded brother: Panther
Tiger and her brother and best friend, Panther, are both super sweet kitties who love to play. They came from a safe indoor/outdoor home after their person died. Tiger loves to sit in people’s laps, especially if she’s getting petted. Tiger and Panther need to be adopted together.
MORTON
Domestic short hair, male
Color: Black/white tuxedo
Size: Medium
Age: Young
Special needs: none
A very handsome boy! He’s new, so stay tuned for updates!
ROXY
Domestic short hair, female
Color: Gray and white
Size: Medium
Age: Adult
Special needs: none
Roxy is a very curious kitty who first arrived at Safe Haven as a youngster about 7 years ago. She was quickly adopted and renamed Roxanne. Sadly, her human mom recently died, and her dad had to move to a care facility. Roxy is now back at Safe Haven looking for her new forever home. She’s a sleek, gray and white cat with a tuxedo pattern, and a short, smooth coat. She has a sparkling white bib, tummy and paws, and big round green eyes that get even bigger and rounder when she is excited. One of her favorite positions is to sit on her hind legs with her paws slightly in the air. This lets us know she’s ready for anyone or anything that interests her. She likes toys, and one of her favorite things is to carry little toy mice around. When she has her rump scratched (another of her favorite things), she gives head butts while purring softly. She loves to play with the feather wand, but anything that moves and flutters suits her perfectly. She is very curious, always on the go, and able to entertain herself quite well, as well as provide hours of entertainment to visitors. She does like to sit on a lap now and then, but she’s much too busy checking things out to spend much time there. She’s kind of an independent soul, and would probably be happiest having her new people all to herself in a one-kitty family. So if Roxy sounds like your perfect cat, give us a call!
PUA
Domestic short hair, male
Color: Orange/white tabby
Size: Large
Age: Young
Bonded brother: Ko’ku
Pua and his bonded brother, Ko’ku, arrived at Safe Haven in early October. Both brothers are about 3-4 years young, are real sweethearts, and get along well with a variety of people. They are accustomed to a safe indoor/outdoor environment. Pua loves to follow people and wind around their legs. He also loves to ride around in his person’s jacket! This bonded pair must be adopted together, and would make a fine addition to a family with the right living environment.
KO’KU
Domestic short hair, male
Color: Brown tabby
Size: Large
Age: Young
Bonded brother: Pua
Ko’ku and his bonded brother, Pua, arrived at Safe Haven in early October. Both brothers are about 3-4 years young, are real sweethearts, and get along well with a variety of people. They are accustomed to a safe indoor/outdoor environment. Ko’ku, in particular, has quite an appetite. This bonded pair must be adopted together, and would make a fine addition to a family with the right living environment.
PEANUT
Domestic shorthair, male
Color: Orange/white tabby
Size: Large
Age: Senior
Special needs: none
Peanut is a very handsome, laid-back cat who loves to be petted and talked to, and when he’s not occupied doing that, he has a favorite cat bed on top of one of the tables where he can lounge about and keep an eye on all the goings on in his room. He’s been in several
playrooms, and seems to get along well with a huge variety of kitties. And he’s good with people as well. His human companion at his former home adored him. Sadly, Peanut’s person passed recently.
He is used to being an indoor/outdoor cat, although he seems quite content with his playroom and deck. In his previous home, there were ducks and turkeys that he got to call his own. He never chased them, and never harmed a feather on their heads.
He has two very striking characteristics. He has no teeth, and he snores. We think it’s possibly because of the lack of teeth, but that’s just a guess. He also has a loud, but nice, purr. He’s a super nice, super friendly cat.
Peanut’s favorite companion cat is his roommate, Tango, who is also an orange and white tabby. Although they are best buds, they don’t have to be adopted together.
FIG NEWTON (“FIGGY”)
Domestic short hair, male
Color: Brown tabby
Size: Large
Age: Young
Special needs: Idiopathic Cystitis
Figgy is a relative youngster, about 4-5 years old. He is large, but not overweight. He is on a mixture of regular food and a prescription diet for his cystitis, but in the future he can eat over the counter foods that are effective for his condition.
The main thing that causes his condition to worsen is stress, so he must have a stress-free forever home, probably without children, dogs or other cats.
Figgy is very chatty, and loves to talk to people – he really likes it when they respond and can have a real conversation! And he loves to play. Toys are one of his favorite things. Sometimes he has so much fun that he gets carried away with the love bites, so adoption by an experienced cat person is recommended.
SPARKY
Domestic short hair, Male
Color: Grey tabby
Size: Large
Age: Young
Special needs: special diet (UTI)
Sparky is a very handsome grey tabby, about three years old. At some point in his short life, he contracted a urinary tract infection (UTI). Unable to keep him in the house due to the infection, his owner initially made a home for him in the garage, where Sparky kept the garage free of mice and other small critters. Finally, his owner brought him to Safe Haven to find a new forever home.
At Safe Haven, Sparky is on a special diet for his UTI, and should be kept on a UA maintenance diet to prevent a recurrence of UTI.
Sparky is a very active kitty who loves to fetch and play hide ‘n seek. The feather wand is one of his favorite toys, and when it isn’t handy, he easily learns new tricks to entertain himself. He loves to be brushed – as often as possible! His absolute favorite thing is his scratching post. He is a natural hunter, and he is fascinated with bugs and moths.
PHILIP
Domestic shorthair, Male
Color: Brown tabby w/white
Size: Large
Age: Adult
Special needs: none
Philip is a very sweet, very shy young adult. He’s a brown tabby with a spotless white muzzle and bib. Philip needs a quiet, all-adult, cat-savvy home where he has time to adjust and blossom into a wonderful feline companion. He does very well with visitors when they spend the time to get to know him.
FRED
Domestic medium hair, Male
Color: Gray/white
Size: Medium
Age: Adult
Special needs: FIV positive
UPDATE – September, 2021: Fred has recovered very nicely from his surgery, wired jaw and extracted teeth. He is like a new cat! He has a number of followers of his story, so we wanted to update you with how well he is doing. His fan club of volunteers at Safe Haven are giving him all the attention of a rock star, which he so richly deserves. He has a new position at Safe Haven: he’s the downstairs Hall Monitor. He patrols the hall and pauses at each door to see what the resident kitties are up to. He also watches over the caretakers, making sure they are doing their jobs and preparing the food correctly. He carries on a very intelligent conversation with each of them. And he is as cute as he can be. He rolls over when he wants attention and loves it when a willing participant plays ball with him. Quite a different cat from the one who first arrived here in late May!
ORIGINAL STORY: Fred was hit by a car, disappeared for a couple of weeks and finally returned home with a broken jaw. Fred’s jaw had to be wired, and the poor cat also had 12 teeth extracted. The surgery went well, and he went to a foster home to recover. Sadly, the foster home had very playful dogs, and they frightened Fred, so he needed to be placed in a different home. PFOA was contacted, and of course, we agreed to care for him.
Fred is in a quiet room downstairs, all by himself, which is exactly what he needs to recover from his surgery. He has his own hidey-hole under the couch, and will cautiously come out to meet visitors. He is an affectionate boy, and loves to have his ears scratched gently. Fortunately, he is not at all aggressive, because in addition to everything else, Fred is FIV positive.
Fred will not be available to find a new home until at least August/September. His jaw will be wired for two months, and he will need careful evaluation to make sure he is ready for his forever home.
Special thanks to WAG, Sequim’s all-dog rescue organization, who set up a GoFundMe page to help cover the cost of surgery for “Fred the Cat”.
ZOE
Domestic longhair, Female
Color: Brown & black tabby
Size: Medium
Age: Senior
Special needs: none
Zoe is a sweetheart! She’s a longhair brown and black tabby with the most gorgeous tail ever – and she’s very proud of it! She is a reserved, quiet, independent kitty, around 10 years young. Although she was adopted with another kitty from PFOA in November of 2013, she really doesn’t care to associate with other cats, and would be best as the Queen Bee and only cat in the family. She loves to be brushed, but will let you know when she’s done. Her favorite spot is at the top of her cat tree, and she doesn’t seem to have a huge interest in the outdoors, so we definitely think she should be an indoor-only kitty. When she’s not on top of the cat tree, she loves to be under pillows and blankets, so people need to be careful where they sit!

SIMON
Domestic shorthair, male
Color: Brown Tabby
Size: Large
Age: Young
Special needs: none
Simon is a very sweet boy who was initially scared, but gradually warmed up to people after receiving a little gentle attention. He will now be the first to greet people he knows, and will immediately come up and roll around your feet, anticipating a good petting. He is still a little nervous of hands and of being petted around the head, but he gets over all that once he figures out that he’s dealing with a good person. He has an exceptional purr, which he will demonstrate as his comfort level increases. He loves all toys, and he particularly loves a good, bushy feather wand. He enjoys his protected outdoor time, and seems to play well with his kitty roommates. We think he would do well with a family without toddlers or young children, but another cat and possibly a cat-savvy dog would work well.
MITTENS
Domestic shorthair, female
Color: Brown/White Tabby
Size: Extra Large
Age: Senior
Special needs: possible hyperthroidism
Mittens is one of the sweetest, most loving mature kitties we’ve seen. Originally adopted from Safe Haven as a kitten, she was returned because her person needed to go into assisted living. She is a gorgeous brown and white tabby with striking markings, and she definitely doesn’t look (or act) her age! She just wants to be cuddled, loved and petted. She is being tested for hyperthroidism, and is otherwise very healthy. After her tests are complete, nothing would please her more than to find her new furrever home.
BUBBA
Domestic longhair, male
Color: Black
Size: Large
Age: Adult
Special needs: none
Bubba is a stunning longhair male, all black. He was originally adopted from PFOA as a kitten, and lived with Zoe, another cat who was adopted from PFOA. However, Zoe seems to prefer being the only cat (Queen Bee) in her life, and Bubba seems to be good with that. He is quite shy, and we don’t have much more information on him yet. This will be updated when we know more!
ELLA
Domestic shorthair, female
Color: Tortie with white
Size: Medium
Age: Young
Special needs: none
Ella was a mom to five kittens who have now all been adopted. Now Mom is ready for her furever home. She would like to have all the attention of a one cat home. She’s a very busy kitty who investigates everything and is also an active, playful girl who will talk to you. She loves people and will sit on your lap for snuggly time. She has unique orange tabby rings at the end of her tail to show off how pretty she is.
STARBUCKS
Domestic shorthair, female
Color: White
Size: Extra Large
Age: Young
Special needs: none
Starbucks is an all-white young kitty except for a small grey patch on top of her head. She is a striking kitty, with one green eye and one blue eye. She should be considered a large kitty; however, she is quite overweight and is on a diet to bring her weight down to a more appropriate level.
CHUCKIE
Domestic medium hair, male
Color: Black/white tuxedo
Size: Medium
Age: Young
Special needs: none
Chuckie is very, very energetic and likes a lot of interaction. He loves all toys and gets pretty excited when he sees people. His family would need to be very energetic in order to keep up with him.
LOKI
Domestic longhair, female
Color: Grey tabby
Size: Large
Age: Adult
Special needs: none
Loki is the purrfect nine year young, longer haired, grey tabby used to sitting in the lap of a mature, loving gentleman who has passed. He loved her so much he gave her lots of treats so she’s just a tad heavier than her ideal weight. She enjoys playing with her favorite kicker toy and feather wand so she’ll be showing off her ideal self real soon. As with all gorgeous longer haired kitties, she should be brushed often so she doesn’t get those nasty tangles in her soft fur. She hasn’t been introduced to children but accepts larger dog friends in her home. A devoted to her guardian lady cat, she loves to snuggle next to her person at night but is fine sleeping in her own bed too. She would prefer not sharing attention with other feline companions and is looking forward to being queen bee in her own furever home.
RANDY
Domestic longhair, male
Color: Grey tabby
Size: Medium
Age: Senior
Special needs: none
Our Special Needs Caretaker, Tracy, fell in love with Randy the first time she met him. He’s a marshmallow of a boy who wraps his paws around your neck and melts into your chest. People he’s met for the first time can walk into his room, pick him up and cuddle him, and he’s purrfectly all right with that. He will stay on your lap as long as you let him. He is the quintessential lovebug and has never met anyone he doesn’t like, including other kitties. He really is a treasure of a senior kitty.
GINGER
Domestic longhair, male
Color: Orange/white tabby
Size: Medium
Age: Senior
Special needs: none
Ginger is a real sweetheart. His coat markings are stunning, making him the most handsome orange and white senior on the block! He loves to spend time on the enclosed, covered deck outside his playroom, when the weather is nice, of course! He loves to have company, and rubs against people’s hands to be petted. And when they do, he rewards them with extra-special head bumps. He’s especially grateful if someone puts a nice comfy throw rug out on the deck for him to knead his paws and stretch out.
OZETTE
Domestic shorthair, female
Color: Black
Size: Medium
Age: Adult
Special needs: none
Originally adopted in 2013 from PFOA as a kitten, Ozette is a classy black cat with the cutest heart-shaped markings on her tummy. She enjoys sitting on people’s laps, and is looking forward to finding her new furever home.
JACK
Domestic shorthair, male
Color: Grey tabby/lynxpoint Siamese
Size: Medium
Age: Young
Special needs: none
Jack has the typical lynxpoint coloring and the beautiful blue Siamese eyes. He has a favorite hooded cat bed where he spends time perched on the edge, watching everything happening around him.
SPATZI (January 12, 2005 – October 14, 2021)Domestic Shorthair, Male
Color: Brown w/white
Size: large
Born: January 12, 2005
Special needs: renal insufficiency
We are sad to report that our Spatzi crossed the Rainbow Bridge on the evening of October 14, 2021.
Spatzi was a beautiful Siamese mix. His companion of the last ten years has been Spanky, a very handsome tuxedo cat. Two of the gentlest souls you will ever meet, they have been the text book example of well-behaved, loving cats. Spatzi was the more outgoing of the two, often greeting you at the door with a friendly meow and a leg rub. Spanky tends to be more laid back, often lounging in a bed or cat tree. He is easily approachable and loves to be petted and fawned over. Spatzi was in early renal insufficiency and was easily maintained with the fluids he was given twice weekly.
SPANKYDomestic Shorthair, Male
Color: Black w/White (Tuxedo)
Size: Medium
Born: July 1, 2008 (approx)
Special needs: none
Spanky is a very handsome tuxedo cat. He was bonded to his “brother” companion, Spatzi for ten years until Spatzi crossed the Rainbow Bridge on October 14, 2021. Spanky is one of the gentlest souls you will ever meet. He is the text book example of a well-behaved, loving cat. He tends to be more laid back than his brother was, often lounging in a bed or cat tree. He is easily approachable and loves to be petted and fawned over. Spanky has diabetes and receives twice daily insulin shots, but is quite well regulated. Come and meet this handsome boy and you will discover his purrfect purrsonality for yourself!
FAGIN (March, 2003 – September 16, 2021)
FAGIN was born in March, 2003 and had been at Safe Haven since July, 2003. He was a green-eyed, short-haired black male who could best be described as a “big lug” full of love. He would “head butt” and lean into his human and feline friends to show his affection. He liked brushing and belly rubs on occasion, too. Fagin was under dietary restriction, and had been quite successful losing some excess weight. Since 2003, he lived at Barker House with his brother, Thistle.
We are sad to report that on September 16, 2021, Fagin joined his twin brother across the Rainbow Bridge. As much as we will miss Fagin, we know that he will be so happy to be with his brother again, together, forever.

LUCY-ALICE
One day, in early 2011, a sweet, gentle, affectionate little Manx kitten named Lucy-Alice was adopted from PFOA. Lucy-Alice resembled a very small, very colorful Lynx, with her gorgeous green eyes, pointed tufted ears, and calico tabby markings. It was easy to fall in love with her, and she found the best of homes with a couple who adored her.
What her loving parents didn’t know, was that some Manx cats are afflicted with Manx syndrome, a spinal disorder. The mutation that causes the loss or shortening of the tail also affects the spine, spinal cord and nerves. As a result, cats with this condition may have problems with bowel and bladder control. The condition generally shows up in kittens by the time they are four months old.
Lucy-Alice did not show any signs of Manx syndrome until a year after she was adopted. Of course, by this time, Lucy-Alice was a much loved member of her new family. When she began to have little “accidents”, they hoped that they were just that – simple accidents. But they were attached to Lucy-Alice. She was so loved. “Maybe she will grow out of it,” they thought. “It will just take a little more time.”
After considerable more time, they had to acknowledge that Lucy-Alice would not grow out of it. Their decision was heart-wrenching, but unavoidable. They contacted Nancy, the Shelter Director at Peninsula Friends of Animals. Could PFOA take Lucy-Alice back? This was not a decision to be taken lightly. Lucy-Alice would require a substantial investment of time and money. A generous gift from a very special supporter allowed PFOA to set up a special area, called “Turtle Towers”, for Lucy-Alice and an older kitten, Bobbie Jo, who also has Manx syndrome. Unfortunately, Bobbie Jo, having lived her first years of life as a single kitty, did not enjoy the company of gregarious Lucy-Alice and trouble broke out between the two girls. It became apparent that the best thing would be to separate the pair.
Lucy-Alice is one of the sweetest, most loving kitties anyone could ever hope to meet. Everyone who spends any time with her falls irrevocably in love with her. And that’s what happened when Tracy, Animal Caretaker at Barker House, first met Lucy-Alice in the summer of 2016. On a bright, sunny day, a couple of months later, Tracy came to pick up Lucy-Alice and take her to her new home at Barker House, a small PFOA facility designed for the care of special needs animals. Lucy-Alice will probably remain at Barker House for the rest of her life. There are very few people who have the type of facilities, and the time, money and dedication needed to provide a good home for her. PFOA is committed to providing Lucy-Alice with the best quality of life possible.
We are grateful to the sponsors who contribute to the care of Lucy-Alice, as well as our other special needs animals. While we still hope that Lucy may find her own family to love and care for her, it is not likely. So, for the rest of her days, Lucy will enjoy her life with her beloved caregiver in the sunny warm rooms of Barker House.
MARTHA
MARTHA was born in May, 2001 and came to PFOA in February, 2002. She loves attention and “talks” to the volunteers who regularly visit her. She was recently placed in a foster home, where she has adjusted well and has a happy home.
