The Progressive Animal Welfare Society recently found a home for its 6,000th cat from the Seattle branch called Cat City.
The lucky Siamese, Marcus, went to live with the Karen Ganzkow family in Everett.
PAWS takes in almost 2,500 cats each year and adopts them from Cat City and its companion animal shelter in Lynnwood.
