Story
Willow, 1 year old male, may be shy at first, but with patience and gentle routines, he blossoms into an affectionate, energetic, and silly companion. Once he trusts you, he’ll happily show off his playful side, zoom around with his toys, soak up attention, and eagerly enjoy all his favorite treats (wet food, dry food, tuna—you name it, he’ll gobble it up!). Willow loves window watching, playtime, and his beloved puree treats. He’s sensitive to loud noises, sudden movements, and chaotic environments, so a calm home with cozy safe spaces where he can retreat and reset is essential. He can become overstimulated if frightened, but he has never bitten or scratched—he simply needs understanding people who will let him decompress. He is healthy, vaccinated, and litter box trained. He gets along well with other cats, including seniors, and even tries to play with them—though they don’t always match his youthful energy. Willow’s journey began outdoors, where he survived an injury and was initially TNR’d under the assumption that he was feral. Thanks to a kind neighbor who helped him, it became clear that Willow wasn’t feral at all—just a scared but incredibly friendly boy. We stepped in to foster him, and he has shown us every day what a sweet, loving cat he truly is. Willow is indoor only and his rehoming fee is $100.  He lives in Beaverton with his  This cat is offered for adoption due to the owner's personal circumstances. 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.

Story
Taco ! Taco wakkoooo! Is an amazing cat! Soooo friend, he will love you to death. Just pet him & he will follow you wherever you go. He is mostly an indoor cat but he does go outside sometimes . Don’t worry he will always come back , he never wonders far , just occasionally wants to go lay in the sun and sleep. I love taco wakko and I would keep him BUT I have recently moved into a small trailer. There is nowhere for him to run or explore or sleep without being bothered . Plus it’s next to a busy highway and there is no where for him to go. He is under a lot of stress because of this big change & I also don’t have the fund to care for him anymore. He needs a good loving home ! He does fine with other cats , he even cuddled with them. ( Dogs he is not so fond of but I’m sure he could adjust. He is an all black cat and I love that about him . He really has been getting bladder infections & I think that is because of the stress. Please help me find him a good loving home!!

Story
This adorable ball of fur is 1 year old. He's shy but if you're patient and he starts to trust you, he's such a sweet, energetic goofball. He loves puree treats, play time, window watching and attention. He's scared of loud people/noises and sudden movements. He can get overstimulated if he's scared but has never bitten/scratched. He needs a home with safe spaces where he won't be disturbed if he is scared so he can calm himself. Since he spent time on the street, he needs time and routines to trust his family so he can feel safe. Whether it's wet food, dry food, tuna or snacks, he will gobble it up. He is healthy, vaccinated and litter box trained. He is friendly to our senior cats and tries to play with them but they do not match his energy. Willow came into our lives after a neighbor helped him with an injury he sustained while living on the street and TNR'd him thinking he was a feral cat. During their interactions, she noted how friendly he was. We volunteered to foster him.

Story
This is Smeagol, but we mainly call him Smeeg. He is two in May and we got him last June from a family member for our cat to play with. They have not been getting along because Smeeg prefers to be the only pet. He is small, smart and sweet. In one of the pictures you may be able to notice the little white patch on his tummy. He is very playful! He is also really good at entertaining himself with toys. As soon as he is comfortable with a person, he is an excellent lap cat! He's a lovable companion that deserves a lot of space, respect, and patience. He is being rehomed for the third time so may need time to adjust, but once you earn his love, he's wonderful. My family member couldn't keep him because they have two cats already, one that's really territorial. He was found in a nice neighborhood on the street as a kitten. He is up to date on all his shots, neutered, and microchipped. I will provide all his vet paperwork.

Story
Tom Cat was abandoned; along with his sister Lilly. He has become a member of my household and loves to play and snuggle with the kittens. He is a lover and loves to snuggle at night. He is still young, so loves to play and explore. I was informed, after ten years living here my apartment is a no pet property so I am being forced to put my cats up for adoption.

Story
Binx is half of a bonded pair, he is the black cat in the photos and his brother is they grey short haired cat named Indie! Binx is a sweet but very shy boy, so we are looking for experienced pet owners who have the patience and desire to gain their trust, and once you do you'll understand just how worth it the time was. Binx and Indie both love to cuddle, they are VERY affectionate once they are comfortable around you. They do not like small children and should be in a calm and quiet home, but that doesn't mean they don't like to play! Binx especially loves feathered toys and has been known to play fetch when the mood strikes! Binx is a very clean little boy, not picky at all with food, and is easy to handle for vet care/bathing/medicating/etc. Binx does not like meeting new people, it takes a few visits for him to come out from under a couch or behind a chair, but once he does he is perfectly happy to accept some pets and maybe even lay on your lap!
