🧡 Gilbert has his calendar up, do you? 🗓️

Just more than a month remains before 2025 is here and you simply MUST have one of our CAT calendars. Stop in the shelter, CAT Thrift Store, Crafty Wonderland, Meat for Cats and Dogs, or Hart Road Animal Hospital to buy one in-person. We'll also happily ship one to your doorstep, if you'd prefer.

Bonus: Gorgeous Gilbert is available for adoption and though we can't ship him to you, he's ready to meet you at the shelter when you've got a moment. He's sweet, silly, friendly, playful, and adores lap time.

Your giveguide.org/nonprofits/cat gift to CAT keeps families together. Here's how:

*********
Bree and her cat Mimi were just starting over after a tough time when Mimi developed a life-threatening intestinal obstruction. Surgery was going to cost thousands, and even with a generous discount from her veterinarian, Bree couldn’t afford it without risking losing her housing.

Thankfully, Bree found the Keeping Cats in Homes Fund at Cat Adoption Team. Through this fund, CAT was able to help cover the cost of Mimi’s care. Mimi got the surgery she needed, and Bree has peace of mind knowing she and her kitty can stay together. Bree shared, “Mimi is healing up beautifully... and is full of joy to be feeling well again." ❤️‍🩹🐱
*********

Zoom over to GiveGuide.org now to support cats and their people — and get yourself in the running for a zippy new e-bike.

BIG GIVE DAY: Your Give!Guide donation today (11/13) gets you the chance to win a 2024 Orbea Kemen 40/Kemen 40 Mid e-bike from Splendid Cycles!

Spring says, "check out the 2025 CAT calendar!"

And, while you're in the shelter adopting this beautiful babe, buy a few calendars for yourself and your friends. These full-color wall calendars featuring cats and kittens that have gone through the shelter are stunning and make great gifts!

You might wanna hit the donate button at giveguide.org/nonprofits/CAT. Here's why:

When Studebaker joined us, he was conflicted. He wanted people to hang around so much that he'd nip when you tried to leave his room at the shelter.

Thanks to support from folks like you, CAT’s behavior modification team is here to help. They began working on Studebaker's confidence and trust that people wouldn't abandon him. Treats helped. He got rewarded with snacks for staying calm when anyone left the room.

Soon his true personality emerged. Instead of biting, he began nuzzling and purring! With this sweet behavior, he won over a loving family and is living it up in his new home. 🏠🩶

Your donations give spicy cats like Studebaker the support they need. He'd be fine if you took off for a weekend getaway now... and if you win today's Big Give Day prize, you'll have to!

🛶🛏️ BIG GIVE DAY: Donate today (11/6) using Give!Guide for your chance to win a Central Oregon getaway that includes a stay at Wall Street Suites and a half-day tour for 2 from Wanderlust Tours!

Wish we could put every adorable kitty in our calendar, but we only had 1 open slot for our upcoming photo shoots.... the winner will be seen in the 2026 CAT Calendar. Until then, enjoy these spectacular specimens! ❤

Love all these cute faces!

Our Story

Cat Adoption Team (CAT) is the largest cat shelter in the Pacific Northwest dedicated to finding a home for every cat we take in. With the generous support of our community, we offer adoption, foster care, and veterinary services to homeless cats and kittens.

With over 20 years of experience and more than 50,000 adoptions, we know cats! While in our care, cats and kittens have access to enrichment activities, behavior modification, medical care, and a variety of housing options to meet their individual needs.

Our doors opened on May 1, 1998, and since that time we’ve remained dedicated to saving the lives of homeless felines.

CAT’s staff and volunteers work tirelessly to care for and find a home for every cat and kitten we take in. Through our carefully supervised adoption program, more than 3,300 cats and kittens are adopted into loving homes each year.

At CAT, we care about cats and people. Our values guide us in the work that we do and our interactions with others.

Compassion for cats. We focus on the individual welfare and future of each cat in need.

Expertise. We strive to be experts in cat welfare, health, behavior, sheltering, and related programs.

Respect for people. We treat our employees, volunteers, donors, clients, and community with respect.

Impact. We have a significant and measurable positive impact on the cats in our community.

Collaboration. We work with other individuals and organizations to save more lives.

Integrity. We act with integrity and value transparency.

Excellence. We strive for excellence in every aspect of our work.

Join us in saving lives! Volunteer, adopt, donate, or follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. To learn more about Cat Adoption Team, visit us at catadoptionteam.org.
