We adopted from CAT in July 2022. A volunteer spoke with us as we said hi to different cats and gently suggested which cats might prefer a home without our rambunctious toddler. We found a great cat for our family that handles our toddler well. The facility was wonderful and clean. The cat room is ADA accessible if you need an elevator. We were able to pick up a few cat essentials and toys from the retail store. The adoption forms are all electronic, and doing it on a small smartphone wasn't fun, but they have a computer you can use if you need it. If you’re bringing a young child, the adoption application takes some time so plan accordingly. We appreciated the certificate for a free vet check-up (where accepted). A great experience.

I recently adopted Milo (Max was his shelter name) and I couldnt be happier, I got him as a friend for my older cat. He is still extremely shy but I know with the right love and care this little boy will gain some confidence. I had a great experience at the shelter everyone made me feel so welcome and the adoption process was quick, I was happy to find a shelter with kittens that would let me adopt and take him home in the same day, a lot of places I was looking at seemed like itd be a lengthy process. And cat adoption team gives you a free bag of kitten food and a certificate for a free vet exam!! whats not to love.

Never adopted from here before and had a great experience. The team was helpful and very nice. Facility was very clean and well maintained. Orientation was a little long and hard to okay attention. But not my first adoption so know what to do. Thanks Team Jazzy is looooving her new home!!!!

Not quite the average shelter! This is apparently the largest shelter* in the PNW and it is fantastic. We visited a couple times before finding our purrfect match and each time the shelter was impeccably clean and well there were lots of staff and volunteers working with the cats. We had to go through a couple steps to be allowed to adopt our boy so you can see they really try to find the best match for the cats. They provided good resources as well so we didn't feel like we were on our own. Highly recommend this place and couldn't have nicer things to say about the staff! *cat only shelter

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

My neighbors dont feed or care for their cat. He seems like hes starving to death. I have broken down and am feeding him food i get from pet food bank, but i cant afford him. Can i bring him here. Hes starving and probably sick

Call them, CAT, and call Animal Control, wash county, or whatever county you are in. Be a pain in the arse till someone pays attention to you, and comes to help this cat. Starvation is an awful way to die for an animal.

You have to go in to see which kitties they have available, or call them to ask them your specific question. Cat availability changes by the day.

We have a cat that we are no longer able to take care of and keep can we bring him to you?

Anna Kaleb | Aug 16, 2019
Amanda M. | Aug 16, 2019

You have to call and speak with someone to see if they have space and, if so, then they will talk to you, have you fill out paperwork, and make an appointment. It's best to try all other means of finding a home first, like neighbors, posting signs, and your veterinarian, as shelters are very stressful for cats.

Hello I am looking for 2 outside cats, mousers/feral etc. I do have shelter for them until they get used to the new are .This will be my Green solution to keep rodents under control. Thanks, Eddie

Hi Eddie - CAT places primarily indoor-only pet cats. But you can find working/barn cat programs at these other local shelters: - Multnomah County Animal Services - https://multcopets.org/kitties-for-hire - Humane Society for Southwest Washington - https://southwesthumane.org/adopt/cats/ (see cats marked "Barn Cat") - Willamette Humane Society (https://whs4pets.org/adopt-a-pet/cats/adopt-a-barn-cat/ Good luck finding a couple of kitties that meet your needs and will appreciate having an outdoor life!

Is there a charge to bring in a cat.

Mikell Benham | Aug 16, 2018
A Microtyger | Aug 16, 2018

No, not that I know of. (a donation would be nice, but not required) . They are most concerned about the welfare of the cat, and ty for caring enough to bring him/her in. 😻 They are closed on Monday.

Are the cats listed on the website all the cats they have or is their cat at the shelter that aren't listed on the website

John Willhite | Jul 16, 2022
Cat Adoption Team | Jul 16, 2022

Hi John - The website shows all cats and kittens available for adoption, including some that may be located in foster care or offsite adoption centers. It may not list cats who are receiving vet care or have newly arrived and aren't available for adoption yet. Each individual profile explains where that specific kitty is located. CAT's site is updated regularly, but there is always some small delay in posting cats who are available and removing those who've been adopted. At this time of year we tend to have a dozen or so kittens at the shelter, along with twice as many or more adult cats. You can visit any time during our open hours if you're ready to come meet kitties and adopt. Thanks!

Our sister-In-law has Alzheimer’s and needs to leave her home, and live where she can receive care. I have allergies and cannot take care of her cat. What can we do?

Nancy Snider | Jul 16, 2022
Joel Villarreal | Jul 16, 2022

Good question There are solutions . If you and your sister are strongly considering getting a cat , I'd say keep your distance from the animal and take allergy meds. Of course , I'm no medical professional. Good luck

May I donate some CD dry and wet food to the shelter? My cat is on a new prescription now.

A Google User | Oct 19, 2021
Misty Hampton | Oct 19, 2021

They accept most donated food. There are some types of prescription dry food they can only accept if unopened. You can call or email them to ask.

May I donate my half used HILLS dry prescription cat food to CAT? It is CD food to prevent bladder stones. My cat is now on a different prescription food for heart disease. I also have some wet food.

A Google User | Oct 19, 2021
Cat Adoption Team | Oct 19, 2021

Hi there! Thanks for thinking of us! CAT can accept prescription cat food diets in unopened cans/bags only. If you have a partially used bag, you could reach out to PAW Team to see if perhaps they can take that? For non-prescription foods, we can accept open or unopened cans and bags. Drop-off at our donation bin in front of the shelter anytime, or stop by during our appt hours to leave it with our reception desk. Hope this info helps. And thank you again!

I need help with a place for my three cats to stay until I am able to get a place. I could provide food and litter for them.

Ruth Harris | Aug 15, 2020
Cat Adoption Team | Aug 15, 2020

Hi Ruth - Kitten Adoption fees range from $150-$200. All kitties adopted from CAT have all age-appropriate vaccines, receive deworming/flea treatment, are spayed/neutered, microchipped and tested for FeLV. Your adoption includes a free full-size bag of food, certificate for a free vet visit at many local clinics, plus post-adoption support from your adoption counselor. You can see all our adoption policies, fee information, and adoptable kittens and cats at catadoptionteam.org

I’ve taken in this female Oriental short hair and can’t afford giving her the dental hygien work she needs. I wanna see if putting her up for adoption is a better option than neglecting her?

Neil Blatner | Aug 16, 2019
Amanda M. | Aug 16, 2019

You can call and talk to them on the helpline and see what they advise. They might be able to take her, or they might be able to advise you on a low cost place to take her for dental care, depending on your financial allowances. Either way, I would give them a call. If they do end up taking her in, you will have to do an appointment with them to drop her off and answer questions to help them find the best home for her.

I have an orange tabby who has feline leukemia but do not want to put down because he is full of life.........he is young maybe 5 or so .... I adopted him from the street. Vet said hes in good shape considering .....

Hi Karen, Cats with FeLV often have good quality lives for some time, so you're right to want to help him out. You might find this information helpful as you determine the best way forward: https://catadoptionteam.org/pdf/FeLV_Handout_One_Pager.pdf Thanks for giving this guy a chance!

Hi Bri - Volunteers 16 and older can assist at our Sherwood shelter. If you're interested, the first step is to attend one of our Volunteer Orientation sessions. We hold two each month. The next one coming up is Sunday, April 7. You can get more info about volunteer opportunities and how to attend the orientation by visiting our website. Hope to see you soon!

Ok, there’s a stray cat and he’s not neutered, and he’s pretty skinny too. I feel very bad for him, and we already have 4 cats, so we can’t take care of him. He’s a beautiful cat though, and I’m wondering, would this be a good place for him to be?

Envii | Aug 16, 2019
Kathleen Ruiz | Aug 16, 2019

I think it would be a great place for him. They will give him medical care and they are great at finding good homes for their cats. I have adopted twice from them.

Try Cat Alliance Team Sanctuary (also in Sherwood, but a different place). Their phone reception isn't always the best, but you should be able to get through. By the way, you really should think about getting a cat in the first place if you can't follow up on always finding a place to move to that will take it. Cats are feeling and emotional animals and she will be heartbroken, especially at that age. 💔😿
