SEATTLE — Seattle Area Feline Rescue helps about 2,000 cats get adopted every year. Many of the adoptions include senior cats and cats with special needs.
To continue providing intake and medical care to so many felines the nonprofit is planning to expand and move into a new location in Ballinger Village in Shoreline. It's about five miles away from the current Seattle Area Feline Rescue location.
Shelley Lawson, the community engagement director for Seattle Area Feline Rescue, said the new location will more than double the size of the rescue's current facility.
The Seattle Area Feline Rescue team said this added space will allow for additional medical, adoption, volunteer, and foster services.
