Kitten Palooza

The adoption event will be held in person by appointment only on Saturday, June 24 at CAT’s main shelter:

Cat Adoption Team
14175 SW Galbreath Drive
Sherwood, Oregon 97140

You’ll apply online in advance to request an appointment.

This popular kitten adoption event attracts hundreds of hopeful adopters, and we don’t have enough space for everyone who wants to attend.

Applying in advance helps reduce crowding, speeds up event check-in, and sets you up for a more comfortable, smoother experience on adoption day!

The link to apply and request an appointment will go live on this page (catadoptionteam.org/palooza) at approx. 10 AM on Saturday, June 17, 2023. Some browsers will not automatically update when we post the link. Try clearing your browser cache or press Ctrl-Shift-R to “hard refresh” the page.

We’ll review applications in the order they are received. Once your application is approved*, we’ll send you a link to schedule your appointment for the event day (June 24). Pre-approved adopters will then come to CAT’s shelter during their appointment time (scheduled between 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.) on Kitten Palooza day to meet and adopt kittens in person!

*Applying does not guarantee an appointment. Applications will be reviewed in the order they are received. We may receive more applications than we can accommodate and appointment times are limited. Apply early for the best appointment availability!

If your application is approved and appointments are still available, you will receive an email from us with a link to schedule your appointment for the adoption event. We will review and reply to applications in the order they are received, and it could take up to 24 hours before you hear from us.

Please do not call or email to ask about the status of your application — staff and volunteers will be busy reviewing applications as quickly as they can. We promise to contact you as soon as possible with an update!

Applying through the event link is how you request an appointment for Kitten Palooza, but it’s not a guarantee.

Our team will review applications in the order they are received. We have a limited number of appointments available, and it’s possible that we will receive more applications than we can accommodate. Adopters also must be comfortable with our adoption policies; we’ll contact you if we have any questions. 

After you put in an application, we will contact you as soon as possible with an update on your application status! Please be patient; it could take up to 24 hours or so before you hear from us.

On Saturday, June 24, any adopter with an appointment will come to CAT’s shelter in Sherwood to meet kittens for adoption in person!

During your appointment, our staff and volunteers will show you around to see the kittens available at the time of your visit. Once you narrow down your selection to one or two kittens, you’ll have the chance to hold them and interact with them more to see if it’s a love connection!

If you decide to adopt at the event, you’ll attend an adoption counseling session to go over the details of your adoption, complete paperwork, and pay your adoption fee. You can also shop our retail store for great deals on the supplies your new kitten needs!

Most kittens will be ready to go home with you after your adoption is finalized, so please plan accordingly.

You should expect to be at the shelter for about 1-2 hours to meet kittens and finalize your adoption.

Kitten adoption fees are $225. CAT offers a $20 discount off your total adoption fee when you adopt two kitties at the same time.

The adoption fee includes: medical exam, spay/neuter surgery, age-appropriate vaccinations, flea treatment and deworming, FeLV testing, microchip and registration, certificate for a post-adoption medical exam from a participating veterinary clinic, sample bag of Purina Pro Plan food, kitten care handbook, and post-adoption support from CAT’s adoption counselors — a $700 value!
