Interested in adopting a pet — or just taking a peek at some cool kitties near you? There are dozens of darling cats up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Portland.

Sweetpea, tortoiseshell
Sweetpea is a female tortoiseshell cat currently housed at House of Dreams.
Sweetpea needs special time to bond with you: She'll need a home free of other cats, dogs and kids. Sweetpea is already spayed. Good news: She is already house-trained. Sweetpea is a special needs pet, so please inquire about her specific care requirements.
Notes from Sweetpea's caretakers:
Sweetpea is a loving and independent 13-year-old lady who is looking for her forever home. Sweetpea loves pets and gentle scratches, and is happy to let you know through her sweet little meows when she's ready for her dinner, or just wants some extra love. She's full of personality! Despite being 13, she's still playful and enjoys a good session with her catnip toys. She's not crazy about other cats, and would do best in as the only cat in the household. Sweetpea has a mild case of Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH), which affects her balance and coordination. She does very well walking to exactly where she wants to be, she just does so with a wobble and sway!

Tahli, domestic shorthair
Tahli is a lovable male domestic shorthair cat in the care of House of Dreams.
Tahli is a social animal, and he's happy to keep company with kids, dogs or cats. He's already neutered. Good news: He's already house-trained.
Notes from Tahli's caretakers:
Tahli is a sweet, playful 2-year-old boy originally from Texas! He's enjoying his new life in the Pacific Northwest and would make a wonderful addition to your family. He is energetic and loves a good play session to tire him out before pets and head scratches. Tahli does well at the shelter with other young cats, and would make a good friend and companion to another lively kitty. Tahli tested positive for heartworm, which is more common in the southern US. Heartworm disease is NOT contagious from direct contact in cats (and dogs!), and can only be spread via mosquito bites. He is a perfectly normal, healthy kitty and safe to be around other animals.

Lucy, domestic shorthair mix
Lucy is a female domestic shorthair mix in the care of Oregon Humane Society.
Lucy's ideal forever home would be a cat-free environment. She's already been spayed.
Here's what Lucy's friends at Oregon Humane Society think of her:
I love to be loved but on my own terms! Let's brush up on some feline body language together! Cheek and chin scratches make me so happy! I can be picky about my feline companions. I need a home where there are no other cats.
