**URGENT KITTEN SAFETY MESSAGE** Found kittens and not sure what to do?!? Do not bring them to the shelter immediately. The shelter is currently overwhelmed with litters of very young kittens being brought in without their mamas, and it is impacting the safety of these kittens. Please call our staff first so we can help assess the situation and advise on what is best for the kittens.If you have found newborn or young kittens, please leave them alone! Mama cats are very protective of their kittens and rarely abandon them; if you don’t see the mama, they are probably close by their babies and will be back soon. Newborn kittens are especially vulnerable when separated from their mamas, and will struggle to survive without them.Want to help our kittens?!? We are seeing unprecedented numbers of kittens being brought into our shelter. We urgently needs donations of non-clumping kitty litter, wet kitten food, and dry kitten food; donations can be dropped off or shipped directly to our shelter.

The end-of-the-month adoption numbers are in, and our shelter just hit an all-time high for the number of animals adopted in the month of July - AMAZING!!!!

Our small community shelter has been in operation for over 25 years providing services for Puyallup, Sumner, Edgewood, Bonney Lake, Pacific, Algona and Milton. That adds up to over 120,000 residents and 7 police departments that we proudly serve.

Thank you for making this our best July ever for adoptions, and hopefully 2026 as our best year ever. We deeply appreciate each one of you who adopted, fostered, volunteered, and donated toward the care of these precious animals!

"Go ninja, go ninja go!!!!" Are you ready to add a pizza-powered, hero-in-a-half-shell to your fearsome fighting team? These 5 adorable boys are now available for adoption from the Metro Animal Shelter in Puyallup.

Named after the early 1990's cartoon of teenage crime fighters, this litter was found on the city streets of Sumner as tiny babies. They are now just over 2 months old and ready to find forever homes.

Come visit them today starting at 11 a.m. This is one very fun and playful group of kittens that is guaranteed to make you say "Cowabunga!!!!!"
