The Brief

The Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County took in 80 cats from two recent animal control cases, including 60 rescued from a sailboat.

The shelter now has 190 cats on-site and another 230 in foster care, pushing it far beyond capacity during kitten season.

The rescued cats are not yet available for adoption, but the shelter urgently needs foster homes, supplies, etc.

They are also looking for medical Fosters and public Fosters in their area, you can read more via this link: Tacoma W.A Humane Society

Mod Note: I'm posting this here not knowing if any of our community members live in this County/ State . It is not a begging post for donations but a reminder that we are all human beings and that a once in a lifetime flood of cats being accepted into a non kill humane shelter is an act of incredible humanity, one that could actually make or break this Shelter.
