Super sweet cat, young and healthy. Can’t keep because of building restrictions. Loves pets and is super gentle. Will give you his carrier and bowls as well as wet food and dry food I have left for him.

Story
Tub is almost one year old! I found her outside in the forest, hungry and wet and very affectionate. She is a very sweet kitten with a lot of energy. I’ve kept her for the last 6 months, got her spayed, litter box trained, and ready for her forever family. She has been a solo kitty since I’ve had her. Recently I started working from home in my studio apartment, and unfortunately her energy levels are too high for our living situation. I think she would be well suited in a larger living space, or maybe with some friends to play with.

Story
Peaches is 1 years old (8 lbs). She was found and brought to the Multnomah County Animal Shelter but has been with me since she was 3 months old. Her original name was Spud, probably because the shelter thought she was a male cat, but she is indeed female. She's a very playful cat and demands attention.

Story
Mazzy is approximately 11-12 years old. She had one litter of kittens when she was 2 years old, but was swiftly spayed afterwards. She has no known health conditions. She's a very sweet lovey couch potato, she was an outdoor kitty who was neglected by a now deceased neighbor who's family are estranged so Mazzy unfortunately has no family. Mazzy was in a colony of undersocialized cats but has adjusted extremely well to being an indoor only cat. She has been indoor only since July 2nd of 2026, and has adapted to it wonderfully. She can be a bit shy at first but really comes out of her shell with a little love and some treats! She does best as an only cat as she does get quite jealous of other felines. She does not like dogs. I could see Mazzy doing very well in a relaxed family environment or with someone elderly. She is on a wait-list to be taken in by the Oregon Humane Society, but in the meantime she is available. Please contact if interested. :)

Story
Meet Thelma Biscuits, an adorable tabby kitten with a gentle spirit, a playful personality, and an enormous amount of love packed into one tiny package. Watch how cute she is: https://youtu.be/osxfM5_wU9Y According to her foster, Thelma is the most affectionate kitten in her litter, and she certainly knows how to make her people feel loved. She is the one waiting to greet her fosters when they come home from work, ready to welcome them back and get some attention. Thelma doesn’t just want to live in the same house as her family — she wants to be part of their lives. Take a look at her video to see this cutie in action! https://youtu.be/osxfM5_wU9Y And if being beside you isn’t quite close enough, Thelma has another solution: your shoulder. This sweet girl will happily ride around perched on her foster’s shoulder, taking in the world from one of her favorite spots. She even does well on car rides, making her quite the adaptable little companion. Thelma is very social and seems to make herself at home quickly. She currently lives in a foster home with multiple cats and dogs and does wonderfully around children, so she already has experience being part of a busy household. She could be a fantastic addition to a family with other pets, kids, or simply people who want an affectionate kitten involved in everyday life. She has a playful side, too, but Thelma approaches play with the same gentle nature she brings to everything else. She isn’t a rough-and-tumble kind of kitten and has a softer play style that makes her especially sweet to watch and interact with. What really stands out about Thelma is how naturally loving she is. Some cats like to keep a little distance and observe their families from across the room. Thelma would much rather be involved. Whether she is playing, riding on your shoulder, greeting you after a long day, or simply spending time nearby, she seems happiest when she can be close to the people she loves. Thelma Biscuits is social, gentle, playful, adaptable, and incredibly affectionate. She already knows how to make herself part of a family — now she just needs to find the one she can call her own. If you’ve been hoping for a kitten who will be genuinely excited when you walk through the door, Thelma might just be your girl.

Story
Meet Mr. Wobbles, the sweetest little gentleman with an adorable wobble and a heart full of love! Mr. Wobbles may not always have the steadiest paws, but one thing is for sure: this boy knows exactly where he wants to be, and that's right next to you! This affectionate little guy is a total sweetheart who loves being close to his people. Whether he's snuggled in your lap or simply resting a paw against you, Mr. Wobbles believes that personal space is highly overrated! And don't let his love for cuddles fool you! He's a playful little guy who enjoys exploring and having fun. It might take him a little longer to get where he's going, but he's got determination for days! True to his name, Mister Wobbles has a harmless neurological condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH)—sometimes lovingly called "wobbly cat syndrome." Because the part of his brain that controls motor skills didn't fully develop, Mister Wobbles walks with a cute, clumsy sway and occasional high-stepping wobble. The best part? CH is non-progressive, completely painless, and doesn't slow him down one bit! Mister Wobbles doesn't know he’s any different than other cats—he’s just as playful, affectionate, and determined as they come. He just needs a safe, cozy home (carpeted floors and low-entry litter boxes are a bonus!) where he can wobble his way straight into your heart. 💗 Apply to adopt Mr. Wobbles today! https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6aadb2433c215d4262031cca Questions?
