It was a long night… but so worth it. ❤️🐾

Our day started by picking up a group of kittens, one adult cat, two little dogs, and a puppy so we could get them to the Anacortes ferry terminal by 5:00 a.m. for the 6:00 a.m. ferry to Friday Harbor.

We arrived early—around 4:00 a.m.—and to our surprise, they let us board the earlier sailing! That gave us a little extra time, but we still waited at Animal Protection Society of Friday Harbor until 7:30 a.m. when the staff arrived.

Once everyone was safely settled into their new temporary homes, we headed right back to the ferry terminal, hoping to catch an earlier standby ferry home.

We sure miss our pilot who used to fly our rescue animals to the island. They could make the trip in just 45 minutes instead of the 5–6 hour journey by car and ferry. It made transporting these precious lives so much easier.

Today, though, these sweet animals are one giant step closer to their forever families.

Tomorrow is another big day. Every one of them will be spayed or neutered. Little Tootsie will finally have her injured eye surgically repaired, and little Buttercup will have her hernia fixed. Sudsy isn’t quite ready yet—he needs to gain a little more weight first. When we rescued him several weeks ago, he was painfully thin, but he’s already come such a long way.

Every mile, every early morning, every ferry ride, and every exhausted moment is worth it when it means giving these animals the future they deserve.

Thank you to everyone who fosters, donates, volunteers, adopts, and believes in second chances. Because of you, today these little souls are that much closer to the loving homes they’ve always deserved. ❤️🐾

Meet Our Sweet New Momma Mocha ❤️🐾

This beautiful girl has safely landed with one of our amazing foster families in Ballard. They happen to be a family who adopted one of our rescue kittens four years ago, and we’re so grateful they’ve opened their hearts again.

We’ve already been told she is one of the sweetest cats they’ve ever met and an incredibly devoted momma. She absolutely adores her babies, and it’s easy to see how gentle and loving she is. She’s a stunning girl, too!

We don’t know her exact age yet, but we’ve been told this is her second litter, so we’re estimating she’s around 1 to 1½ years old.

For now, she’s busy doing what she does best—raising her precious little family in the safety and comfort she deserves. We’ll be sharing updates (and hopefully introducing her with a perfect name!) as we learn more about her.

Welcome to the ARFSGC family, sweet Mocha. Your babies will never know the hardships of birthing litters, and your future is looking brighter every day. ❤️🐾

Say “YES” to the Kitten(s)! 🐾❤️

This year has brought us an overwhelming number of kittens, but we’ve made the commitment to save every single one we can. With the help of our amazing fosters, volunteers, and supporters, these little lives have been given a second chance.

Now it’s time for the next chapter… finding them the loving forever homes they deserve.

If you’ve been thinking about adding a kitten to your family, now is the perfect time to say YES! Our kittens are healthy, vaccinated, chipped, socialized, playful, and overflowing with personality. Whether you’re looking for a cuddly lap companion, an adventurous explorer, or a tiny entertainer, we have the perfect match waiting for you.

Not looking for a kitten yourself? You can still make a huge difference by sharing this post. The more people who see these sweet faces, the sooner they’ll find the families they’ve been waiting for.

Together, we can make sure every one of these precious kittens gets the happy ending they deserve. 🐱💕

The best is yet to come! ✨🐾✨

We’re so excited to share that both of our twin Chihuahua boys, Freddie and Cledus, have been adopted by wonderful families! And yesterday, our sweet little ClaraBell found her forever home too.

There is nothing more rewarding than watching these precious rescues begin the next chapter of their lives with families who will love and cherish them forever.

One by one, we work to give every animal that comes through our rescue the chance they deserve—a safe, loving home where they can thrive. Seeing these happy endings reminds us why we do what we do.

Congratulations, Freddie, Cledus, and ClaraBell! We can’t wait to watch your new adventures unfold. ❤️

✨ One by one… lives are changed. ✨🐾
