7. Nova
Young (1 year 1 month) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 17 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.

12. Al
Young · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 20 mi from Portland



Hi, my name is Abernath. I was rescued as a "feral", but I can tell you, that is NOT the life for me!! It took me a bit to adjust to indoor life, and I am still a bit timid, but believe me, life is MUCH better now!! SCC is helping me to find that purr-fect home! So let me tell you about myself. I am about 1 year old. I did get a clean bill of health at the vet, and snip snip, I am good to go! I am a loyal and clingy cat - I want to be with my person. A bit of patience while I adjust to my new home is a plus. It will be rewarded with a lap companion. I do get a bit overstimulated, and might bite or maybe swat at a foot to get attention, so, older kids might be be better at reading my cat signs.
Read more about Al
I am very playful and a skillful hunter of toy mice. Probably from my street life, I am a bit bossy but I am getting better with other cats and I might adjust well with a dog, too! Of course size, age and breed are considerations and of course, slow chaperoned introductions are always better! I am quite comfortable in my new indoor life, so a perch by the window to watch the birds and squirrels outside. I am current on my vaccines and microchipped and very good with my litterbox.

13. Lash
Adult (5 years 4 months) · Male · Tabby / Domestic Long Hair / Mixed (long coat) · 17 mi from Portland




Lash is incredibly snuggly, affectionate, and an absolute lap cat. He purrs easily, loves attention, and will likely be the first to greet guests with hopes of getting some pets and cuddles. His adorable cross-eyed look only adds to his charm!
Originally a stray, he has some past trauma that makes him fearful of other cats. While he currently gets along with both a cat and an excitable dog, he would ideally be the only pet. If he shares his home with another cat, it should be a calm, non-aggressive feline.
Read more about Lash
He MUST have access to both indoors and outdoors. Outdoor access is important for his mental well-being, and he currently uses a microchip-reading cat door.
Because he is prone to urinary issues, he eats Hill’s Prescription Diet dry food. He also absolutely loves raw rabbit and is generally an enthusiastic eater.
If you're looking for a loving, affectionate companion who will happily curl up in your lap, this sweet boy may be your perfect match! Lash lives in Portland with his owner and his rehoming fee is $50 Lash is indoor/outdoor or would use a catio.

Dolma is especially fond of cuddling and hanging out with her people, while Grape Leaf sometimes prefers a little quiet time to herself.
One of the nicest things about adopting these sisters is that they always have each other for company. They play together, nap together, and keep each other entertained when their people are busy.
Dolma and Grape Leaf have been through so much together, and we want their next chapter to be a happy one—with a family who will love them both for the rest of their lives.

17. Flower
Adult · Female · Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed · 20 mi from Portland



Hi, my name is Flower. My human parents moved away and thought it would be too much for me to make the move so, now, I am staying with my human grandma and she is going to help me find a new home. In the right environment, I would really do great, but I am living with another cat and he is not nice to me. So, let me tell you about myself. I am about 3 years old. I was trapped in a barn with my mom. Patience will win you great rewards from me, because I will be timid at first, until I get comfortable, and once I build the trust, I am all in. I am a bit treat driven and am a very playful girl.
Read more about Flower
I would be best in a quieter home environment. Toddlers and younger kids can be a bit overwhelming for me. I would do ok with kids over 12, after I am comfortable. I have lived with a dog and a cat (other than my current tormenter) and I actually did ok with them. Of course, slow introductions are always best. I have lived an indoor life and that is fine by me. I am current on my vaccines and microchipped and I am very good with my litter box.

18. Cm
Adult · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 20 mi from Portland


Hi, my name is Luna - seriously, I could use your help. Once upon a time, life was good, but as our family grew and got busy, my human mom knew I wasn't crazy about all of the activity and she let me go live with my human grandma, but now, she has another cat and, well, here I am! My mom thinks I would be a happier girl in a quiet home where I can be the center of the universe. So, about me, I am about 6 years old. As you can imagine, I would do much better in a quieter home. Kids over 12 would be better because they are better able to read my cat signs. I am not good with other cats. I live with a dog and I actually do ok.
Read more about Cm
I bop him on the butt when he goes by, but we don't fight. I kinda get into trouble eating plastic, like bags so, that is something to be aware of. I am a bit food motivated and probably could use a diet. I do like sleeping with my human, most frequently on the pillow. I do like the simple things, like cardboard boxes and small hiding spots. I will be brought current on my RCP vaccine and microchipped as a part of the adoption process.

Bringing a cat home to your dog
Tell the rescue about your dog: their size, age and energy. A cat who has lived with a calm dog may still be nervous around a bouncy puppy.
Introduce them slowly. Keep the cat in a room of their own for the first few days, swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, and then let them meet with the dog on a leash.
Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, and keep the litter box and food bowls out of the dog's way.
