Cat Adoption Team (C.A.T.)

The Cat Adoption Team (CAT), founded in 1998, is the Pacific Northwest’s largest non-profit, feline-only shelter with its own full service veterinary hospital on-site.

What CAT Does: CAT’s mission is to work with the community and other animal shelters to save the lives of homeless, sick and injured cats and kittens by offering shelter, adoption, foster, hospice, spay/neuter, and veterinary services to end needless feline euthanasia in our community.

Over 73 percent of the felines in CAT's care are transferred from other animal shelters in the greater Portland-metro area. CAT will find homes for over 3,200 felines this year. CAT specializes in finding homes for kitties with special needs - FIV positive, with healing injuries, elderly, deaf as well as perfectly lovely cats and kittens.

About the shelter building: CAT’s shelter is an industrial building retrofitted as an animal shelter, including a full-service veterinary hospital. CAT cares for over 250 cats and kittens each day in the shelter.

Due to CAT’s tremendous year-over-year growth and the demand for further help by the community, a remodel to increase efficiencies is much needed. Winning this contest would enable CAT to expertly remodel this building to save more lives with a larger veterinary hospital; increase its ability to keep pets in the home with space for private, one-on-one counseling; boost shelter capacity with more free-roam rooms and kennel space as well as a more customer friendly floor plan.

As a 501(c)(3) publicly-supported charity, CAT relies on the support of the public and generous volunteers.
