The Cat Adoption Team is the largest feline-only, limited admission, non-profit shelter in the Pacific Northwest. CAT saves over 3,300 lives each year.

In addition to taking in many young, healthy cats and finding them homes, CAT also cares for senior cats and cats with special medical needs, ranging from fracture injuries to diabetes. When they are well, CAT finds homes for those cats, too.

Over 73 percent of CAT’s intake comes from other organizations. CAT works closely with shelters, animal control agencies, veterinary offices, and rescue organizations to take in or rehabilitate many cats or kittens who may be running out of options due to medical needs or space constraints.

* CAT partners with pet supply stores to open offsite adoption centers throughout the Portland metropolitan area.

* CAT does not euthanize unless a cat’s condition is hopeless and the cat’s quality of life is poor.

* Many cats in CAT’s Sherwood shelter enjoy roaming and playing in one of CAT’s numerous free roam (colony) cat rooms.
