Love, Laughter & Companionship Await You

If you’re a cat person, you’re in the right place.
Whether you're here to adopt, volunteer, or find out more about our services, CAT can help.

We Know cats!

Portland’s Cat Adoption Team (CAT) is the largest cat shelter in the Pacific Northwest. We offer adoption, foster care, and veterinary services to homeless cats and kittens.

Take a peek at our latest cats up for adoption. Our experienced adoption counselors will help you choose a cat likely to be a good fit for your family.
