After 532 days, our beautiful senior cat Spike has found his forever home! We're so grateful that he has a safe, quiet place to spend his golden years, and we know he'll get all the love he deserves with his kind new person. Congratulations, Spikey! 💚

Good morning from Izzy, one of our adorable rescues!

We’re delighted the fur ban has entered Polish law 👏 The fur industry is cruel and outdated, confining millions of wild animals in tiny cages for an unnecessary product. Sadly, it remains legal in other countries, which export and sell fur products into the UK.

Happy #GivingTuesday from the animals! We're raising funds all day today to help end animal cruelty. Will you join us?

Pinky and Burrito are obsessed with the fall leaves! Such a cute moment from volunteer Anda 💚

Thanksgiving hack: when the table talk gets weird, excuse yourself to ‘check something,’ then look at these photos of our animals sharing a 250lb pumpkin.

Playing 'floor is lava' with Matias 😅 This is one serious case of orange cat syndrome. If you've been weighing up whether you want a kitty or a kangaroo, this funny little man is looking for a home.

HAPPY UPDATE: These are just a few of the amazing animals who have been adopted during our #HomeForTheHowlidays campaign! We have until New Years Eve to find everyone homes, and create desperately needed space for more rescues in 2026. Will you open your home and join the challenge? 😺🐮🐶

It's Adopt A Senior Pet Month! Drop those senior pet photos so we can cry over how much we love them 👇

Explain how this goofball has been waiting 200 days for someone to adopt him???

Frank paid a visit to his goat friends in NARN Barn! This is the life a turkey deserves, not one that ends with them on a dinner table. #govegan 💚

GREAT NEWS: We received a grant to cover spay/neuter, microchips, and vaccines for Indigenous pet owners! This grant is available to support members of any Indigenous tribe - including Duwamish - while funds last. 🔗 https://bit.ly/WA-Tribes-Spay-Neuter #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #WATribes

Let’s clear this one up… local doesn’t equal ethical. Grass-fed doesn't equal sustainable. Free-range doesn't equal freedom. “Humane” labels often means exactly what the industry wants you to think it means. Real change happens when we look past logos and ask who is benefiting.

WASHINGTON: We're looking for homes for every cat and dog at Pasado's for the holidays. It’s a big task, but we want to bring in more animals from cruelty and neglect in 2026. Our rescues are happy, healthy, and ready for their next chapter. Can you open your home to them? 🔗 https://bit.ly/pshadopt

‼️WASHINGTON: If you need pet food after losing your SNAP benefits, this map shows you where you can pick up the supplies you need. The map with pickup addresses is linked in our bio. If you know of more locations, drop them in the comments so we can keep this map up to date!

When the smallest and tallest dogs at the sanctuary are best friends 😭😭😭

#Washington friends — where’s your favorite spot for a dog-friendly fall walk?

A halloween costume that's just spam bot comments telling people to buy purebred puppies from a facebook group

Pup or pumpkin? Happy Halloween from Big Mack! 🎃

Halloween costume ideas that are actually scary: - Puppy breeder - A Facebook group called 'Maine Coon Kittens For Sale' - Big Ag - The EATS Act

🤦‍♂️ Can't believe we have to argue this, but TNR is not unethical. Lots of people think killing cats is the answer to reducing the feral cat population. Respectfully, we disagree.

Everyone say hi to toast or else

‼️Attention #TNR community in Washington State: We've got 40 more spots open at our feral cat spay/neuter clinic in Renton on November 4! This is a pay-what-you-can service to help get as many community cats cared for as possible. Apply here: https://bit.ly/11-4-FeralClinic

We thought you might need to see Judy being a little goof today so we'll just leave this here

Heartbreaking.

Sometimes our staff meetings include a kitten or two. Perks of the job.

Guess who just went to his forever home after over 600 DAYS of waiting?! Congratulations Chandler!

Just a little joy for your feed: Okra discovered sweaters today. 💚

Offering this photo of Dandelion and Valentine to fill some of the space at the #Louvre

Wishing everyone a #Diwali filled with light and the love of animals who make life brighter every day. ✨

A halloween costume but it's just a vet bill

Our volunteers take some amazing photos on their adventures around the sanctuary! We couldn't pick just one, so here are some of our favorites from the last few weeks.

Kindness is a choice.

You learn a lot about trust from animals who’ve lost it.

You can’t rush healing. 💚

When you spend enough time around rescued animals, you start to notice: joy is a muscle. The more you nurture it, the stronger and more resilient it becomes.

We talk about saving animals, but sometimes they’re the ones saving us. 💚

We’ve seen animals forgive things that humans never could.

If you’ve ever thought ‘I wish I could help,’ you've already started. Having empathy and compassion for animals is the first step to making real change.

Every animal at Pasado's came from a system that failed them. Our job is to build something better in its place.

A lot of people ask why our address isn’t public. The answer is simple. Our residents are cruelty survivors and many are still involved in active investigations and court cases. Just like humans who have escaped violence, animals need a safe place to go.

Gigi, that's not your bed 🤦

Woo hoo! Huge congrats to the policy team at @pasados.bsky.social and their partners. #HB1149 passed Senate and is headed for @governorferguson.bsky.social signature in #WA ! #animalcruelty #animalwelfare www.pasadosafehaven.org | Amazing org!

We love animals, what can we say! Thanks @charitynav.bsky.social 💚

Paws out from our pups! Monty, Jenga, and Judy all hope you're having a great Thursday. 💚 #animalrescue

We want to be very clear: there is no place for cruelty at Pasado's. Not for animals, and not for people. Pasado's stands firmly with the trans community. We were created to fight against cruelty, no matter what. We won’t let hate shape our mission, and we won’t be intimidated into backing down.

Some of the wildest reasons we've heard for choosing not to spay/neuter: "I want my dog to experience the joy of motherhood first." "Neutering will ruin my cat's natural masculinity." "They deserve the freedom to choose whether they want kids." Rescues are in crisis. Get your pets fixed.

"Neutering will ruin my cat's natural masculinity." Sure, because nothing says 'alpha' like spraying your curtains and yowling at 3 AM. 🙃

69% of animal shelter workers in the US are WOMEN. Nearly 70% of veterinarians in the US are WOMEN. 83% of the veterinary medical class of 2027 are WOMEN. 74% of animal caretakers are WOMEN. WOMEN keep the animal welfare sector running. Shoutout to the ones getting it done this #WomensHistoryMonth
