1. 3 kitten brothers Ash, Cinder & Boo
Young (2 months 30 days) · Male · Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed (medium coat) · 18 mi from Portland








Hello, We are Ash, Cinder & Boo. We do not like to brag, but we are the most beautiful kittens you will ever meet, we're also three of the most affectionate. Almost perfect! Ash is the extremely handsome all black kitten. Boo is the cute little tuxedo guy, and Cinder is the dashing ginger boy. We are living in a foster home with big cats and small dogs. We are not exactly best friends with the other pets, but we are learning to coexist. After all, we are adorable, but we also know we are not in charge of the entire household. (however, we are plotting the take over). We have not met any children in our foster home, but our foster mom believes we will do just fine in a home with gentle and respectful kiddos. We do have opinions of our own, and we are not afraid to express them. We do get lonely when we don't have a buddy to play with or snuggle with, so our foster mom feels we would be best adopted as a pair or into a home with a friendly young cat who could be our new sibling. We love watching the world go by as we sit in the window seat or in our cat tree ~ indoors of course! We're looking for an indoor only home where we can be pampered, adored and admired for the gorgeous little creatures we are. Our foster mom loves us bunches, but she says it is time for us to find our very own forever home. We think this sounds like a pretty good idea, especially if our new home comes with comfy places to nap, toys to chase, and humans who are willing to provide an appropriate amount of admiration. Do you think we are the kittens you have been waiting for? Fill out a pre- adoption application, and lets arrange a meeting. We promise to be charming

2. Woodland Crew Kittens
Young (3 months 6 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Tabby / Mixed (short coat) · 18 mi from Portland





Meet Hans & Frans, Uncle Baby Billy & Aimee Leigh. These four kittens were found orphaned in the woods and are now learning that the world can be a safe, wonderful place.
The three ginger tabby brothers are a playful little hunting team, and their slightly older sister from another litter, Aimee Leigh, has been helping care for them while learning to trust humans herself. Bring out a fisher toy and the whole crew springs into action! They chase, strategize, and take turns catching their “prey.”
Read more about Woodland Crew Kittens
These little survivors are actively socializing and still building confidence, but they're making amazing progress. Slurpy treats straight from your fingers? Yes, please! Crunchy treats hand-delivered? Absolutely! They're okay with being picked up, and once you start petting them around their chins and necks, the big purrs begin to rumble.
Twice the kittens, twice the fun! These little woodland friends would love to be adopted in pairs so they can keep a familiar friend by their side as they settle into their new homes. They already know the comfort of growing up together, and having a sibling or trusted companion can help make the transition to family life a little less scary and a lot more fun.
They're not hiding anymore, but they're still learning to feel safe and confident in their surroundings. Their future adopters should be prepared to set them up in a secure, kitten-proofed space with no inaccessible hiding places where they could disappear or become difficult to reach. A smaller, safe room with cozy, accessible beds and familiar comforts will help them settle in, build trust, and continue their socialization. They'll need patient people who understand that earning their trust is a process and who will celebrate every little victory along the way.
They're not quite cuddly lap kittens yet, but they're curious, playful, and learning every day that human hands can bring kindness, comfort, and snacks. With time, consistency, and gentle interaction, they have so much potential to blossom into wonderful companions.
These babies need patient adopters who will let trust grow at their own pace and give them the safe environment they need to succeed. In return, you'll get front-row seats to their transformation from woodland babies into confident, cherished companions. Pairs $300. Indoor only. These kittens live in Tigard with their rescuer.
For more information on meeting and adopting this kitty, please fill out a pre-adoption application under "ADOPT" on our website at WWW.CATSCRADLERESCUE.COM. Your information will be forwarded to the foster parent for follow-ups and meeting arrangement.
Adoption fee Includes spay/neuter, microchip, worming and flea treatment, current vaccines, and negative FIV and FeLV test.

5. Emma
Adult (3 years 5 months) · Female · Tuxedo / Domestic Long Hair (long coat) · 18 mi from Portland



Emma is a petite, long-haired tuxedo girl about 3 - 4 years old, who really just wants a quiet, comfortable home. She's not a clingy cat, but she does like being close to her people. When everyone is sitting on the couch, Emma will usually curl up on the loveseat nearby. She likes being part of the family without having to be right in the middle of everything.
Emma's favorite time of day is definitely mealtime! This little girl LOVES her tuna, and don't bother trying to convince her that some fancy new flavor of canned cat food might be better. She's made up her mind!
Read more about Emma
Emma currently lives with two other cats and she doesn't care for the elderly female cat and spends a lot of time hiding from the younger male. She isn't fond of dogs either. Being such a petite little girl, I think she'd simply feel more comfortable if she didn't have to worry about other animals. Her best home will be to have you all to herself.
Emma isn't the kind of cat who demands your attention every minute. She's perfectly happy just knowing you're nearby. Give her a soft place to curl up, a peaceful home, and her favorite tuna, and I think you'll have one very happy little kitty! Emma lives in Beaverton with her owner and her rehoming fee is $50.
This cat is offered for adoption due to the owner's personal circumstances.

Jack is a compulsive biscuit maker; kneading the air, the ground, or a blanket in pleasure when you pet him. Jack is looking for his forever home.

7. Maxine
Adult · Female · Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed · 20 mi from Portland




Maxine is a gentle, sweet girl looking for her forever home. Maxine spent her entire life outdoors, but thanks to a kind woman who made sure she always had food and shelter, she was cared for. She had several litters of kittens, and now that she has been spayed, her days of motherhood are behind her. She is ready to enjoy the safe, comfortable indoor life she deserves. Since coming into foster care, Maxine has really started to blossom. She loves being petted and is learning that being picked up can be okay, although she hasn’t had much experience with it yet. She has already come a long way with human attention and is becoming more comfortable and trusting every day.
Read more about Maxine
Maxine may be a little vocal or growl when she is unsure at first, but don’t let that worry you—it’s all sound and no bite! She hasn’t done this in quite a while, and I believe it was partly related to protecting and caring for her kittens at the time. With kindness, patience, and a little time, I truly believe Maxine will make a wonderful and loving companion. She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, treated for parasites, and tested negative for FeLV and FIV. Maxine has spent her whole life taking care of herself and her babies. Now it’s her turn to be loved, spoiled, and safe. If you’re looking for a sweet girl who just needs someone willing to give her a little patience while she learns what it means to be loved, Maxine may be the perfect cat for you.

8. Isabella
Adult · Female · Siamese · 20 mi from Portland



Hi there! My name is Isabella. My human dad is moving and can't take me with him, SCC offered to help me find me home. So, let me tell you about myself. I am about 2 years old and a playful girl. Transitions can be bumpy sometimes, so while I might be timid at first, your patience will be rewarded with lots of love! I love to be petted but I will tell you, I have been known to give warning bites, not hard, but would be better with older kids that understand cat signs. I like to play, especially with those wand toys! I have my favorites. Those (and treats) are always great for bonding. I love being close to my person.
Read more about Isabella
I have been known to nibble on toes and am a great lap companion. I don't have any dog experience, well, or cat experience for that matter. You really only need one cat anyway, right? I have lived an indoor life and that suits me just fine. I am current on vaccines and microchipped and I am very good with my litter box.

9. Rocky
Adult (7 years 11 months) · Male · American Shorthair / Tabby / Mixed (short coat) · 18 mi from Portland



Rocky is an 8-year-old American Shorthair with a sweet personality and a funny little way about him. He loves it when you talk to him, especially if you give him a few head scratches while you're at it. He's quite the purr machine when he's happy! Rocky also has a playful side and loves a good game of hide-and-seek with his favorite person.
Rocky is a little sensitive to loud noises and he would love a quieter home where he can relax, feel safe, and just be himself. Once he gets comfortable, you'll get to see what a loving and entertaining companion he really is.
Read more about Rocky
Sadly, Rocky's owner is moving and will be staying with family who have dogs that aren't friendly with cats. As much as his owner would love to keep him, it just wouldn't be a safe situation for Rocky.
At 8 years old, Rocky still has plenty of playfulness and affection to share. He's not asking for much—just a peaceful home, someone to chat with him, a little playtime, a warm lap to sit on and plenty of those head scratches he loves so much.
Rocky lives in Tualatin with his owner and his rehoming fee is $100. Indoor only.

10. Betelgeuse
Adult (7 years 11 months) · Male · Bombay / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 18 mi from Portland


This very personable, 8 year old kitty, is fully vetted and ready for a new home. He has had bloodwork and a dental and is a healthy boy! Betelgeuse is the perfect cat for someone who wants a cat companion. Somewhat dog-like, Betelgeuse seeks out his person for pets and interaction, chirps when he has something to say like, “what’s for dinner?” and curls up next to his foster to watch TV together.
Read more about Betelgeuse
Betelgeuse does not seem to be much into toys at his foster home, at least not yet. He’d rather follow his foster around, sleep on the bed, lay on the couch and be wherever his person is. Very relational, Betelgeuse will be a wonderful friend to whoever adopts him. He is not a fan of other cats or dogs; he just likes his humans!
Betelgeuse's adoption fee is $200 and he lives in Portland with his foster family. Indoor only.

11. Mimi
Young (5 months 28 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Tabby / Mixed (short coat) · 18 mi from Portland



Mimi is a sweet, playful 6-month old girl who can turn just about anything into a toy! If she can't find her favorite toys, she'll happily find something else to entertain herself. She loves watching the world go by from a window and enjoys playing with her furry friends.
Mimi is wonderful with kids and people of all ages. She grew up with a small dog and another cat, so she's used to having animal companions, although we don't know how she'll do with unfamiliar dogs or cats.
She's also a pretty quiet little girl who rarely meows, even when she's hungry. But if she wants you to open a door, she'll let you know!
Read more about Mimi
One of Mimi's sweetest habits is curling up beside you when you lie down. She loves sleeping next to her person, just like a warm, cuddly stuffed animal.
Mimi is litter box trained and spayed and would make a lovely companion for someone looking for a playful kitty who also loves to snuggle.

Senior (10 years 11 months) · Female · Tabby / Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 18 mi from Portland



Millie is 11 years young and full of playful personality!! Don't let her senior status fool you—this spunky girl still loves to zoom around the house and chase her favorite little stuffed mice!
When she's not playing, Millie enjoys a good back scratch, head rubs, and sitting in the window watching the world go by. She's a sweet, affectionate girl who still has plenty of energy and curiosity about life.
Read more about Millie
Millie has been an indoor/outdoor kitty, but we think she would adjust very nicely to being indoors full-time, especially with a sunny window to call her own. She would be happiest as the only cat in the home and would prefer a home without dogs.
Millie is litter box trained, up to date on her vaccinations, and even had a dental cleaning last year. Millie's rehoming fee is $50 and currently lives in Grants Pass. Her rehoming fee is $50.

17. Nova
Young (1 year 1 month) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 18 mi from Portland



Nova is a sweet, spunky, and energetic 1-year-old cat with a big personality who plays actively and would love an energetic dog or equally playful cat who likes to interact. He enjoys being around people, playing with his favorite wand toys, and soaking up the sunshine on his window seat when playtime is over.
Read more about Nova
Nova is neutered and an indoor cat who would love a home where he can get plenty of attention, playtime, and cozy spots to relax. Nova does well with dogs and older children, but he can play a little too rough and likes to be in charge when it comes to other more sedate animals. Because of this, he would do best in a home without other cats or young children and his ideal family would understand his energetic, spirited nature and help him channel his playful energy in positive ways.
Nova is still young with the potential to be a wonderful companion. We hope to find him a loving home where he can feel comfortable, get the attention he craves, chase his favorite toys, and enjoy many sunny afternoons in his window seat.
Nova lives in Portland and his rehoming fee is $50. Nova is indoor only.

Cleo is a gorgeous 3-year-old girl with exotic gray and beige spotted markings, dainty white socks, and a wide white collar. Cleo was once a therapy cat for her previous owner’s son, and her family loved her dearly. Sadly, circumstances changed and they could no longer keep her.
Cleo is settling in beautifully in her foster home, where her playful and affectionate personality is shining through. She likes to be the one to initiate contact, so she appreciates having the freedom to approach you when she’s ready. She enjoys climbing, exploring, playing with cat toys, and indulging in a little catnip fun.

19. Sophie
Adult (2 years 5 months) · Female · Tabby / Torbie / Mixed (short coat) · 18 mi from Portland



Sophie is a mistress of biscuits! She has an incredible talent to knead, drool, and purr simultaneously. She is happy to be cuddled next to you, or on you, but is hesitant to be picked up and carried. She would do well in a multi cat household, unknown history with dogs and children.
This pretty little lady likes the good life with lots of time for biscuit making, of course. In the sunshine is her favorite spot and on your lap or near you is even better!

20. Yoki
Adult (5 years 11 months) · Male · Sphynx (hairless cat) (short coat) · 18 mi from Portland



Yoki is 6 years old. We adopted him from a Sphynx breeder in Washington. He is incredibly loving with his humans and loves to snuggle and be warm, and is a huge fan of his canned soft cat food (Friskies pate is our go-to for him). He is highly intelligent and aside from cuddling, he loves to bird watch at the window and play with toys (especially when we partake, he loves interacting with his people).
Read more about Yoki
Yoki would need to go to a home without cats as he prefers to be “the baby” and doesn’t want to share his parents’ love with another cat. He has not been around dogs, but I’m assuming he’d still prefer to live with no other cats/dogs. We have 6 cats at home and Yoki deserves to be somewhere he will be spoiled with love and attention and not have to compete so much for it with other cats.
Knowledge of the physical needs and personality traits of Sphinx cats is expected prior to inquiring about adoption. Yoki lives in Clackamas with his family and is indoor only. His rehoming fee is $475.

24. Journey
Young (1 year) · Male · Tabby / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 18 mi from Portland




Journey is a sweet, fun, energetic and adventurous one year old male cat who will make a devoted companion. He loves long petting sessions, acrobatic play and snuggles. He is confident, curious, and enjoys meeting new people and friendly cats. His owner developed allergies to cats she didn’t know she had, and has to rehome him. She describes him as “such a good boy—he listens relatively well to instructions about manners.” He is very playful and has lots of energy. He would do well with another active kitty to chase and tussle with. He would likely adjust to a cat-friendly dog with a proper introduction. Recently transferred to a foster home, Journey is current on all vet care and ready for a forever home.

25. Chowder
2 Years 6 Months · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Tabby / Mixed · 18 mi from Portland



Chowder is a beautiful 2½-year-old cream-orange tabby with great big eyes, an adorably round head, and a silly personality that makes him especially easy to love. He is as cute as he is loving and absolutely precious in the affection he shares with the people he trusts.
Chowder is just as happy relaxing like a couch potato as he is playing, cuddling, or sharing an engaging moment with his people. He does not want or require constant attention, but he thrives on connection, predictable routines, playtime, and affection on his terms. He is deeply emotional and, once he feels safe, forms a deep bond with his person.
Read more about Chowder
Chowder has a history of eating non-food items. In his previous home, he ate non-food materials such as string, plastic, and paper. This caused significant digestive upset and required veterinary treatment to clear blockages. Since entering Cats in the City Rescue in July 2026, Chowder has gradually received more freedom as he demonstrated stability.
His caregivers have not observed inappropriate eating or play behavior while he has been in our care. He currently displays normal play, eating habits, and digestive health and is thriving. He plays appropriately with plastic, durable, and fabric toys, including when left alone with them. His future home should nevertheless be thoughtfully organized and cat-oriented, with potentially tempting non-food materials kept safely out of reach.
Chowder is neutered, vaccinated, indoor-only, and takes fluoxetine to support his emotional health. He needs to be the only pet, with no cats or dogs, and should not live with children under 8 years old. A slow introduction beginning in a carefully prepared room will help him acclimate before receiving greater access to the home. Chowder is indoor only and lives in Portland. Chowder's rehoming fee is $250.

26. Sasha
Adult (2 years 6 months) · Female · Tabby / Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 18 mi from Portland



Sasha is a delightful 2–3-year-old tabby who loves being part of the fabric of everyday life. She is social, playful, gentle, curious, and easygoing. She has a sweet purr, gives enthusiastic head bonks when she wants affection, and is rarely too far away from her people.
Sasha originally came from a loving home. When she developed a urinary tract infection and associated struvite crystals, her family made the difficult decision that it would be best for her to find another home able to meet her ongoing needs.
Read more about Sasha
Sasha has not been diagnosed with chronic or idiopathic urinary crystals. Before coming into our care, she spent approximately six months eating a regular diet without experiencing another problem. She is healthy, active, spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and indoor-only. Her recent veterinary examination and urinalysis found clear urine with no deposits. Her veterinarian nevertheless recommends that she remain on a prescription urinary diet as a precaution.
Sasha has lived around other cats and can coexist with respectful feline companions, but what she truly wants is a space of her own. She should be the only cat in her new household so she can relax, receive the individual attention she enjoys, and fully become part of family life.
A respectful, cat-friendly dog may be possible with a careful introduction. Sasha may also do well with respectful children over 8 years old.
Sasha dreams of a home where she can follow her people from room to room, curl up beside them or in their laps, climb into bed at night, and greet them at the door when they return—ready to tell them all about her day. She does not need to be the center of everything; she simply wants to belong.
The truth is that the only thing standing between Sasha and a loving home is her prescription diet, which helps safeguard her urinary health. Sasha is a very special, healthy cat, and she is more than worth that small investment in her continued well-being. Sasha lives in SE Portland and her rehoming fee is $250. Sasha is indoor only.

27. Samson
Adult (5 years) · Male · Tabby / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 18 mi from Portland



Sweet Samson is an affectionate, emotionally sensitive, and energetic domestic shorthair tabby estimated to be approximately 5 years old. He is neutered, current on his vaccines, and has transitioned to an indoor-only life.
Samson loves playtime, attention, and cuddles, and he really wants to be someone’s best friend. He is an excellent conversationalist who enjoys communicating with his people and being involved in whatever is happening around him.
Read more about Samson
Samson is very smart and learns quickly. He has already learned to sit for treats and would thrive with someone cat-savvy who enjoys keeping both his active mind and active body engaged. Although he is now an indoor-only cat, he would probably love having access to a secure catio, though this is not a requirement for him.
Samson lived outdoors for several years without the consistent care he needed. When he arrived, he was dealing with flea dermatitis, hair loss, intestinal parasites, and the need to regain weight. Samson has now reached healthy weight, completely regrown his fur, and his emotional health has dramatically improved with routine and consistency.
Samson is learning that affection, routine, and safety can be dependable. He benefits from individual attention and from people who notice when he is stimulated or becoming overwhelmed. A predictable environment helps him feel secure, confident, and more in control of his emotions.
Samson needs to be the only cat in his household. His experience with dogs is unknown, although he might be able to live with a calm, non intimidating dog following a careful introduction. He may also do well with respectful older children over 12 years old.
This sweet boy has been through a great deal, but his desire for love has remained beautifully intact. Samson is looking for someone who will nurture his playful side, engage his remarkable intelligence, enjoy his conversations, and appreciate his enormous capacity for connection. Samson lives in SE Portland and his rehoming fee is $250. He is indoor only.

28. Minnie
Senior (14 years) · Female · Tortoiseshell (long coat) · 18 mi from Portland




Meet Minnie, a gorgeous 14-year-old long-haired tortoiseshell who has spent a lifetime perfecting the art of the head bonk, the lap cuddle, and the sunny-window nap.
Minnie is incredibly affectionate, peaceful, beautifully mannered, and happiest when she can be part of everyday household life. She enjoys following her people from room to room, settling into a warm lap, curling up with a cozy blanket, and purring when her loved ones are near. She is content to spend plenty of time relaxing, but she still wants to feel included and loved. A cozy spot where Minnie can curl up near the people she loves would suit her perfectly.
Read more about Minnie
Minnie is healthy, spayed, current on her vaccines, and indoor-only. She has a remote history of urinary tract infections but has not experienced a recurrence in years. She currently eats wet food combined with Hill’s t/d dry food as a precaution. Her beautiful, fluffy coat requires regular brushing and benefits from professional grooming about twice per year. Minnie would likely respond well to respectful children. She has never lived with a dog, and we suspect she would like to keep it that way.
Minnie is looking for a calm, affectionate home where she can enjoy companionship, good naps, gentle cuddles, and a sunny window of her own. If you have room in your heart for a senior sweetheart with excellent manners and so much love left to give, Minnie may be waiting for you. Minnie is indoor only and lives in Portland. Her reoming fee is $250.

29. VPM-Chili
Young · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 20 mi from Portland


Chili is one of five kittens who arrived at the Van Plaza PetSmart in an Amazon delivery tote—a frightening start to life for such young kittens. As you might imagine, the experience left them scared and overwhelmed. After a few days of quiet time to decompress, plenty of good food, and treatment for fleas, their true personalities began to shine.Now Chili is a happy, affectionate kitten who starts purring the moment you offer attention and is perfectly content curling up in your lap for cuddles. He loves to play and is good with other kitties. No experience around dogs or kids yet, but would probably be fine with them.Chili has been neutered, tested negative for FeLV and FIV, vaccinated, dewormed, and is microchipped—ready to find a loving forever home.

30. Peppermint Patty
Adult (2 years) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Tabby / Mixed (short coat) · 18 mi from Portland


Her foster dad says:
"Mom is awesome. Rock solid friendly cat." HIGH PRAISE!!
Peppermint Patty is as sweet as her name - and only 2 years old. Patty is a beautiful, sweet soul who has been through a lot, but she still has a friendly personality and seeks out pets and attention. After being abandoned as a young female she found her way to us and quickly became a devoted, protective mama to her babies born in July. This cat has grown to trust us and feel safe with us, and we’ve gotten to see the sweet girl underneath that protective mama instinct. Her sweet boy kittens will have surgery soon.
Read more about Peppermint Patty
Duchesst is very sweet, curious, playful, and affectionate. She loves to explore, still enjoys playing, and absolutely loves to cuddle when she feels comfortable. She’s also wonderfully self-sufficient and has such a gentle, independent personality. Duchess has lived with another cat and was ok after introduction but her experience with dogs is mixed so we would suggest no barking aggressive or "busy" dogs. She has lived with older children and enjoys their attention.
Duchess' adoption fee of $120 includes spay, microchip, worming and flea treatment, current vaccines, and negative FIV and FeLV test. She will be ok as an inside cat with supervised outside time but prefers indoors.
For more information on meeting and adopting this kitty, please fill out a pre-adoption application under "ADOPT" on our website at WWW.CATSCRADLERESCUE.COM. Your information will be forwarded to the foster parent for follow-ups and meeting arrangement.

Adopting a cat in Portland
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
