SEATTLE, WA - The cutest and cuddliest event of the year will happen on Wednesday, March 5, with the return of “Kitty Hall,” a beloved citywide adoption event where adoptable kittens and cats take over Seattle City Hall for the day.  

Hosted by the City’s Seattle Animal Shelter, the event invites members of the public to meet, greet and hopefully adopt a kitten or cat in the shelter’s care.  

"I am excited to announce City Hall is officially transforming into Kitty Hall, and we are thrilled to partner with the Seattle Animal Shelter for this special event," said Mayor Bruce Harrell. "Seattle is a city that cares deeply for its animals, and this event highlights our commitment to finding loving homes for cats in need. We’re excited to welcome the community to City Hall to meet these adoptable cats and learn more about the incredible work being done by the shelter." 

WHAT: Seattle Animal Shelter’s Annual Kitty Hall 

WHEN: Wednesday, March 5, 11:30 a.m.– 1:30 p.m. 

WHERE: Seattle Kitty Hall’s Bertha Knight Landes Room, 600 Fourth Ave.  

Members of the public can visit several kitty stations to meet cats and kittens eligible for adoption, visit booths with information on renewing a pet license and other outreach services available, as well as snap a photo on in the Kitty Cam Photo Booth. And of course, members of the public will have a chance to cast their vote for adoptable adult cats who are campaigning for the prestigious (and adorable) title of “Kitty Council Purr-sident.”  

All the kittens and cats at Wednesday’s event will be available for adoption, and adopters will be able to take home their cat as soon as they complete their adoption paperwork at the event.  

“We at the Seattle Animal Shelter are deeply committed to the well-being of every animal in our care,” said Jocelyn Bouchard, Seattle Animal Shelter Interim Director. “We’re thrilled to host our annual event and transform City Hall into Kitty Hall, providing a unique opportunity to find homes for cats and kittens. A special thanks to Mayor Harrell for his support and for helping us make this meaningful day possible.”
