The Cat Adoption Team (CAT) is the Pacific Northwest's largest nonprofit, limited admission cat shelter (we are able to take in cats as we find homes for the cats in the shelter). CAT has its own full sevice veterinary hospital on-site.

A leader in the shelter community with its extensive shelter medicine, adoption, and foster care programs, CAT cares for 400 to 600 cats and kittens on a daily basis with the help of a dedicated team of staff and volunteers at CAT shelter in Sherwood, foster homes, and various offsite adoption centers throughout the Portland metro area.

As a nonprofit organization, CAT receives no government funding and relies on the generous support of the public and volunteers.
