Story
Currently at a Gresham Foster Home. Melody is a a sweet girl with a dominant personality. She adores pets and sitting beside you on the couch and has even started getting on her foster's lap! She also has that sassy Siamese personality and will swat/bat at you when you stop petting her and she wants more, or to tell you NO when she is not in the mood for pets. She seems annoyed by most other cats and is the "fun Police" at her foster's home. We think she would do best as an only cat. When Cat Utopia took her in she had 5 precious newborns, she was an amazing though very protective mother and her babies have grown-up and moved out. This empty nester is ready for a home and family of her own! One that treats her like the QUEEN she is of course! She will repay you with much purrs and leg rubs and lap warming. All adoptions start with an adoption application. The link is on her AdoptAPet profile page.

Story
Mia and Bella are a bonded pair of super sweet ocicat hybrid cats. They are both spayed and I’ve had all those shots. We have had Mia since birth and her baby Bella was born a year ago. My health conditions do not allow for me to have cats anymore and so I am praying to find them a loving home🙏🙏

Story
My name is Pearly, short for Pearl Gray which my owner named because of my shiny coat! My story started in Pendleton, OR where I was found pregnant with a litter. I eventually landed in Oregon Human Society and was adopted into a loving home since 2020. I’m a gray Domestic Shorthair, about 9 years old and ~15 lbs. I’m gentle, playful, calm, snuggly, litter trained, microchipped, spayed, low maintenance and healthy. My family is expecting their second child and while I do fine with being around little ones since I'm quite adaptable, I prefer a quieter home and desire much more snuggle sessions. I haven't been around much dogs or other cats before but could likely adjust to friendly ones with slow introductions or it's best that I'm the only pet. My last vet visit and insurance coverage was in 2023 but I haven't been back since I've been healthy and indoor only. All my vet records are available and I come with everything you need!

Story
Strudel adores her sister, Crumpet, and the two litter mates are looking for a home where their special bond will be enjoyed and appreciated. Besides hanging out with, grooming, and chasing her sister, she also loves human companionship - especially if that person is feeding her or letting her crawl into your lap. She loves gentle play and watching bird videos on TV. Uses litter box 100% of the time, uses scratching post throughout the day, eats any kind of food. Sleeps at the foot of our bed. NOTE: Must be adopted with Crumpet (listed separately) as a bonded pair.

Story
Finnick is a sweet, gentle boy looking for a calm and loving home where he can truly relax and thrive. He’s an indoor-only kitty who is both polite and playful, with a soft spot for chin and head scratches. He loves playing with toys and laser pointers. He’s comfortable being held for regular nail trims and absolutely loves lounging on wall-mounted cat shelves.Finnick would do best in a quieter home with people who will love on him. Finnick has done ok with our small dog, but really doesn’t appreciate being chased. He also does well with calm kids, but sudden excitement makes him shy.While he has tried hard to befriend our older cats, they haven’t accepted him, and the dynamic has become stressful for everyone.We know in the right environment—a peaceful home with patient, understanding people—Finnick will blossom into the affectionate, playful companion he’s meant to be. He deserves a space where he can feel safe, loved, and free to “cat” at his own pace.
