1. 3 kitten brothers Ash, Cinder & Boo

Young (2 months 30 days) · Male · Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed (medium coat) · 23 mi from Vancouver

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) · 23 mi from Vancouver

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.

5. Emma

Adult (3 years 5 months) · Female · Tuxedo / Domestic Long Hair (long coat) · 23 mi from Vancouver

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.

Young (5 months 28 days) · Male · Tabby / Extra-Toes Cat (Hemingway Polydactyl) / Mixed (medium coat) · 23 mi from Vancouver

This is Jack, at 6-months old he is the sweetest of boys! Jack is a bundle of curiosity. Even when startled, he is quick to recover and investigate just what that scary thing was.

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. He is good with cats and dogs, kids should be over 8 years of age Jack lives in Beaverton with this foster and his rehoming fee is $150 - Jack is indoor only.

7. Maxine

Adult · Female · Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed · 13 mi from Vancouver

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 · 13 mi from Vancouver

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) · 23 mi from Vancouver

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) · 23 mi from Vancouver

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) · 23 mi from Vancouver

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.

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.

19. Nova

Young (1 year 1 month) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 23 mi from Vancouver

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.

22. Yoki

Adult (5 years 11 months) · Male · Sphynx (hairless cat) (short coat) · 23 mi from Vancouver

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.

This cat is offered for adoption due to the owner's personal circumstances.

Meet Tilly, a sweet, easygoing gal pal looking for a new lap to call home. ❤️

Sadly, Tilly - now 6 years old - recently lost her beloved owner and is now looking for someone new to love. She enjoys pets and belly rubs, follows you around, and is happiest when she can be by your side. She loves a cozy bed and a sturdy scratching pad, but what she really needs is a loving person and a warm lap to snuggle on.

Tilly is a chill, relaxed girl who would love to find a peaceful home where she can feel safe, cherished, and loved again. Tilly is currently being cared for in a foster home in Beaverton and her rehoming fee is $50.

Petals is a very sweet cat that I inherited from my parents. She is extremely calm and well-behaved. She loves to snuggle and be pet; however, she is independent as well. She is not an outdoor cat, She has not spent much time outside; however, she could do well with a backyard with a cat fencing, a catio or supervised outdoor visits. Petals gets along well with other cats, it just takes her while to get used to them. She does really well with dogs,especially small dogs.

Petals lives in Sherwood and her rehoming fee is $35. She would do best being indoor only.

Adopting a cat in Vancouver

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.
