Fleetwood and Tiffin, born 5/6/24, came in quite shy and are hoping to find a patient and calm home where they can slowly grow more confident and learn to love and be loved. They are great with other cats, and would likely be afraid of dogs and toddlers (ha). If you want a pair of shy kitties, Fleetwood and Tiffin would love to head home together for just a single adoption fee.

TIFFIN (female, lighter tabby & white with cute freckle next to nose, last cat in the video)

They spent their first 10-11 weeks of life living outside with their stray mama kitty, so have developed some "street smarts" and may have a better chance than some at a successful indoor/outdoor lifestyle, though of course cats are always safest indoors, outside with a catio, or with a harness/leash on supervised walks. Shy cats like Tiffin and Fleetwood should be allowed to decompress and adapt to their new home indoors for a long time before being allowed outside, to lessen the chances of a panicked race for the hills.

It feels SO GOOD when they finally approach you deliberately for affection!


All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee is a suggested minimum of $20 - SHY CAT SPECIAL (more gratefully accepted). All pets are placed with a 30-day money-back trial period, to give pet and family enough time to discover any unknown allergies or other conflicts.

Can't come to Republic? Don't let that stop you! We have monthly transports to the Seattle area, delivering adopted pets to their new owners. If you can add a little to your donation to help us cover our volunteer driver's expenses, that would be great!
