Story
Merlin is a very sweet boy, who loves to snuggle up on your lap any chance he can. He is 9 years old and is excellent health! (I have all of his records). His best buddy died last fall and he has been alone since then. My husband and I travel a lot and when we're home we're either out in the yard or volunteering, golfing, riding our bikes, etc. Merlin is now at home alone a great deal of the time which makes me very sad. He would love to be with someone who could give him way more lap time then I can! Merlin loves to sleep in tight cozy spaces including the cave in his tree stand that will go with him. Right now his favorite place is under our guest bed, on top of my shoe storage bag! When he sleeps, he sleeps very heavy and you can make noise right next to him and he won't wake up! He loves to be outside, but he has only been out in my patio garden, (see picture).

Story
Jasper is a young, loving, social cat who truly enjoys being part of the family. He is playful, affectionate, curious, and loves attention, interactive play, and exploring.We adopted Jasper from the Humane Society at 11 weeks old and absolutely love him. Unfortunately, despite working closely with our veterinarian and trying many solutions, Jasper has developed behavioral litter box issues. He has been medically evaluated, and we believe his behavior is related to his strong need for stimulation and exploration that we cannot offer him.Jasper has also shown a strong interest in the outdoors, which seems to provide stimulation he really enjoys. With two working adults, a child, and a busy household, we have come to realize we may not be able to meet all of his needs. This is an incredibly difficult decision because we absolutely love him, but we ultimately want Jasper to be happy and safe. We hope to find him a loving, permanent home where this sweet, social boy can truly thrive.

Story
I have made the hard decision to re-home my 7 year old boy, Kovu. He is the sweetest cat with big orange cat energy. He loves his people and is used to living in a house where there is always someone home to snuggle and play with, and I just cannot provide that anymore. He needs someone that is stay at home and can devote their love to him. He is fixed and up to date on all his shots, just had his annual vet visit last week. He is a bit of a bully to my other cats and takes his jealousy out on them if they are sitting in my lap instead of him, so he would do better in a single cat household. He has been both indoor and indoor/outdoor. Change can be hard for him and it takes awhile to warm up to strangers, but then he become attached and will be by your side always. He is the sweetest boy and just needs someone that can be more devoted than what I can give right now.

Story
Scruffy is a sweet male cat living at the Cascades of Oregon City. He's got dental issues and sometimes has patchy hair loss due to flea & flea alergy. He is being treated for fleas now and his coat is greatly improved.Dental issues are, per the Vet's notes, severe gingivitis and periodontal disease. Would like need some dental work done.He was caught by PDX Cat Trappers originally and neutered and released back to the home. He has also seen a vet once and has had some vaccines and inspection done. Paperwork available.He's a very sweet cat and will let you pet him. He likes to be brushed while eating. He does well with other stray cats around the area but it's unknown how he would respond to dogs and children or more domesticated cats. He is a little skiddish at times.He needs an experienced care giver to home and love him. He's lived outside his entire life. Will need patience when rehomed.Please reach out with any questions.

Story
Ino is about 4 years old. I adopted her from a litter of kittens when she was just a baby. She was born around the Covid Pandemic and was raised solo for about two years. After that I rescued my other cat, Willow, and it took about a month to get her adjusted to the new changes. About a year ago my partner and I moved in together and they have three cats. We took multiple approaches to introduce them but Ino was never able to adapt to this big change. She’d show signs of aggression towards the new cats and also started spraying all around the apartment due to high levels of stress. We’ve used calming diffusers, added extra litter boxes around the apartment, cat sctratchers/trees, toys. We’ve even tried prescribed calming medicines and nothing seems to calm her down. What I’m looking for in a new home for Ino is someone who knows how to approach this issue and hopefully find a new home that suits her. She’s not an outdoor cat but yearns to be if that’s something we could find for her.

Story
Looking for a cat owner with lots of love to give! We originally got Roo from the humane society in Oregon. We have at Roo for 2-3 years and he’s an adorable/fun cat, but life has gotten a little too busy for us to dedicate the love and attention that Roo deserves (new baby). He’s good with dogs and cats and is inside only. Loves kids and always wants to snuggle. He will on occasion do a “love nibble” - it’s not painful, but he can sneak up on you! It’s usually when it’s time to eat 😀. He has an adorable short and deformed tail, one of the reasons we got him. We have pet records from Banfield hospital and are up to date on all shots. Ask us anything!We also have a other one we are trying to find a home for. They play so well together. Our other one is longer haired / soft and is more “traditionally pretty”. Her name is Rip! You can find her profile as well but ask us if you have any questions about either.
