Beautiful items. So wished I was able to shop at your store but I live far away 
Bruce is in Da House!! This big, affectionate, FIV-positive boy is the shelter's first lobby cat in years!
He's making his debut today and will be available for visits Tuesday–Sunday, 11a to 4p. **Because Bruce is immunocompromised, he has to be the only cat in the home.** ... See MoreSee Less

Bruce is the best boy ❤️ such a love bug.
Handsome and sweet!
I have a Tuxedo cat he's 2 now he was born in my house, I was fostering cats. I named him Cupid, he's a huge! People think he's a dog! He's 2 ft high, 2 1/2 ft long and weights 32lbs. These cats are pure love, no aggressive behavior, very docile and smart! ❤️🙏🏼🤗🥰💔😢
UPDATE: Dill has been found and is safely back home with his family! Thank you for all who commented, shared, and helped.
~ MISSING CAT ~
Dill Pickle is an indoor only, microchipped, male, DSH black and white cat, who has been missing since yesterday (1/15) evening, and needs our help to be reunited with his family!
Below is some helpful info sent to us from Dill’s people:
“We adopted Dill from the shelter September 2024. He has been an indoor cat with occasional walks on his harness and outings in the car to drop the kids off at school.
When he’s outside, he tends to be fearful unless he’s right next to one of us. Unfortunately, our front door was opened around 5:15pm last night and Dill made a shocking escape.
We live on Sweeping Winds Way off of Douglas Rd. We have been searching for him on our property, but given his fear of the great outdoors, he’s probably hiding somewhere.
Name: Dill Pickle, but responds to “cat”
Likes: Hair ties, ice cubes, bugs, feather play toys, laser pointers
Bright green eyes, tuxedo coat about the size of a chihuahua.”
We’re asking for everyone to please be on the lookout, share this post, and contact either of the following numbers if you see him:��Joe Ford - (360) 298 - 2096
APS-FH - (360) 278 - 2158 ... See MoreSee Less

Happy #TongueOutTuesday from adoptable Libby! 👅
Libby would love to tickle your face with her sweet kisses! This silly girl is amusing and adorable all in one.
She has been awaiting her fur-ever home here with us at APS for 3 YEARS. This kind old gal is looking for her people in a home with no men. Are you the one she’s been waiting for? ❤️

realest diva there is
MY QUEEN!!!!
3 years is a long time for Libby to watch so many dogs come and go to homes of their own, while she just gets older and "less desirable." As an older woman myself, I can imagine her loneliness and sadness. Thank you, APS, for taking such good care of her and for advertising her many virtues.
