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!

5. Nova
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.

8. Lash
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.

Are you looking for a wonderful pair of bonded sisters? Dolma is the bigger sister, with lots of black markings on her coat. Grape Leaf is her adorable little sister, a petite girl with a black spot on each side of her body. These two absolutely love each other. Every day they curl up together, wrapping their bodies around one another and gently grooming each other's ears. It's enough to melt your heart!
These sweet girls were recently rescued from a terrible neglect situation where their future was very uncertain. Thankfully, they made their way to Oregon and are now discovering how wonderful life can be when you're loved and cared for.

Both girls are playful, affectionate, and full of personality. They love toys, enjoy being brushed, and have the cutest little chirps and silly flops that will make you smile. 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.

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.
