Background, Policies, and Contact Info
About SAFe Rescue
Seattle Area Feline Rescue is located on the border of Seattle and Shoreline, at 14717 Aurora Ave. N, Shoreline, WA 98133. We are a non-profit, no-kill rescue, 501c3 #91-2041961. SAFe Rescue takes in homeless cats and kittens, gives them the care they need to recover, and finds them loving homes. 1,400 - 2,000 felines, including seniors and special needs cats, find homes here each year as people in search of new friends visit our welcoming storefront Adoption Center. An extensive network of community volunteers and foster families helps the rescue carry out its mission and save more lives.
Rescue Policies
SAFe Rescue is a limited-admission, adoption guarantee rescue. We only euthanize for the same reasons you would euthanize a personal pet and not because of expensive medical situations, behavioral reasons, limited enclosure space, or length of stay. We are able to do this because we are a limited admission shelter. The more cats and kittens we adopt out, the more lives we are able to save by taking in homeless kitties from full and overcrowded shelters. SAFe Rescue is not an open-intake rescue, meaning we cannot take cats the same way a municipal rescue could. (We do not have a government contract.) SAFe receives our cats from municipal shelters and partner organizations across Washington state and beyond!
Hours of Operation and Contact Information
Volunteers are typically scheduled at specific and repeating times between the hours of 9 am - 7 pm every day of the week, including holidays.
SAFe is currently open to the public for in-rescue adoptions Thursdays through Sundays 1 pm - 7 pm. Mondays 1 pm - 7 pm adoption hours may be added in the future as our staff is able to grow!
