Even if you don't see the perfect cat for you right now, you can start the adoption process by filling out our "I'm interested" form or call 503-284-8768 (evenings and weekends), and check on cats that might not be on the site yet.

You can also visit with some of our former foster cats and read their success stories.

  BeBe

BeBe is an Angel. Her behavior is so good, she even accepts kisses to her belly!

She sleeps in her bed, loves to be combed and loves her toys. She also loves warmth and prefers to be close to the heaters (just like most cats). She is a perfect indoor-only cat.  In fact, she is so lovely, she purrs whenever her foster mom touches her.

She can be won over with treats every day.  BeBe is looking for a new best friend (or friends) who understand the importance of daily treats and pets.  

BeBe does not like other pets or smaller children.  Her dream home is a quiet one that contains humans that believe she should have their undivided attention.

She is spayed, has tested negative for FIV and leukemia and is up to date on her vaccines.

If you are looking for the perfect companion, phone our cat coordinator at 503-284-8768 evenings and weekends or fill out our "I'm interested" form.    

Muta

This darling one year old boy is a gentle cat.  He loves to sit on his foster mom's lap while she is on the computer.  He soft soaps her by leaning into her, putting his chin on her shoulder and purrs in her ear.  Who can resist that?  

Curtis

Curtis is Muta's cousin (or perhaps stepbrother) and is just as sweet and gentle as Muta is.  Curtis is the self-assigned door greeter and everyone is welcome.  This is a long, tall boy who may not have stopped growing yet.  As you can see, he is quite handsome.  He seems to know how good looking he is, doesn't he?  But he's not conceited in the least and loves everyone.  

These one year old boys are past the kitten crazies, but still love to run and wrestle so you need to be prepared for a certain amount of energy during their high energy times.  At the same time, they require a good amount of lap time.  Whenever their foster mom starts talking to one, the other one comes running.  They both love a good conversation but are not overly vocal.

They have tested negative for FIV and leukemia, are up to date on their vaccines and are neutered.

If you are interested in this wonderful pair, phone our cat coordinator at 503-284-8768 evenings and weekends or fill out our "I'm interested" form.    

Sami is a 10 year old Chocolate Siamese mix who has a quiet, sweet presence.  She has a quirky little personality that says she is all princess.  Her picture could be shown under the word "demur" in the dictionary.  

Samantha

She does well with the other cats in her foster home by keeping mostly to herself with an occasional venture into her foster mom's lap to see if she can have a little attention time.  We suspect she will blossom into a full-fledged lap cat once her new people begin to give her more undivided attention.  She's got "terrific companion" written all over her.

She is spayed, has tested negative for FIV and leukemia, is up to date on her vaccines and has had a recent dental.

If you are interested in this very well behaved, gorgeous girl, phone our cat coordinator at 503-284-8768 evenings and weekends or fill out our "I'm interested" form.    

Holly & Belle

If you are interested in this gorgeous pair, phone our cat coordinator at 503-284-8768 evenings and weekends or fill out our "I'm interested" form.    

Fern

Fern is a two-year old long-haired calico tabby who loves to find a warm lap, curl up with a big purr and make biscuits while being pet and brushed.  She will reward your efforts with a kiss on the nose, and then run off to find a ball or mouse to chase around the house.  She needs a little bit of play time every day, but for the most part, she is an excellent low-maintenance companion.

She is trying to make friends with the other cats in her foster home, and she would probably get along with another mellow cat, but we think she would also be content as the only cat.  She's confident, curious, and very good-natured.  We don't know if she has experience with dogs or children, but the last few months before she came to us were rather stressful, and she clearly enjoys a quiet household.

Her health and house manners are excellent.  She is spayed, her vaccinations are up-to-date and she tested negative for FIV/FeLV.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuFl7FA40-M

Chi Chi and Luka

Besides being gorgeous tabbies, these darling siblings are "oh so sweet".

They came to us with a condition called cerebellar hypoplasia. They were rescued from a country location without mom so we cannot confirm why they might have this condition. It is often because a cat had an infection prior to birth. The cerebellum is affected and is the portion of the brain responsible for the control of motion so these little guys wobble a bit when they are on the move. It has not affected any of their abilities and it does not have any affect on their health or the length of their life. They have the typical kitten energy and love to play with you or each other.

This bonded pair love the other cats and dog in their foster home. They are not children tested but we do know with their condition, they would not be good candidates for being picked up and carried around by younger children.

Luka

Luka is a gorgeous bulls-eye tabby with sea foam green eyes who is all girl. However, never fear, she can keep up with her brother.

ChiChi

ChiChi has his own good looks. Partly spotted, partly striped, he is a very handsome grey tabby. They will not be separated and will only go to a home as a pair.

This pair was born in the first week of September, 2007 and are still juveniles with young energy. Even with their condition, they can race and chase and wrestle with the best of them. They are spayed and neutered, up-to-date on their shots and have tested negative for FIV and leukemia.

Romeo

Baxter

Baxter is a seven year old lover of older children and those of us who don't want to grow up. His main goal in life is to have a lap to sit in and good company. He is a Korat mix and lives up to their reputation.

Oh, and there is one other thing that Baxter likes a lot . . . his meals. He needs a firm hand that cannot be coerced into an extra one or two throughout the day.

He would be great company for a single person who doesn't mind a very attentive companion or a family who has the time to devote to him.

He is neutered, up to date on his shots and has tested negative for FIV and leukemia. He recently had his teeth cleaned so he is ready to go.

Slinky

Slinky is a young man who is a great guy.  He loves people but has been given a hard time in the past by other cats so prefers to keep his people to himself.

He is the most polite young man.  Doesn't talk too much (just enough for a good chat), minds his manners with the litter box, and loves a spot to call his own.  Sometimes that spot is your lap.  

Slinky has a limit to how much he likes pets but does not have a limit on the purrs.  He is great company while you garden.  After all, those butterflies need to be kept at bay while you pull those weeds.

To keep his skin in good condition, Slinky eats specific foods and he does look good, don't you think?

He has been tested, neutered and is up-to-date on his shots.

If you are an adult(s) and looking for a wonderful companion, please complete our "I'm interested" form or phone our cat coordinator at 503-284-8768 evenings and weekends.

Alice

This litter of five sisters was born in a rusted out car and found when they were only two or three days old at the end of July, 2007. They did have mom and her good milk until it was time for them to be weaned so they are healthy girls. They are also happy girls because they have the devoted love and attention of great foster parents.

Alice is a sleek little black tortoiseshell. She is also the little clown of the bunch. She always seems to have a smile on her face and has a happy go lucky personality. She is full of energy and is always ready for a game where she can show off her acrobatic talents.

Greta seems to never stop purring. She starts from the moment you step in to the room and just seems to keep going and going. Greta is a playful girl whose favorite toy is Da' bird. She would love to have a home where someone would devote a little play time to her each day.

                       Emily                                              Minnie

Emily and Minnie are both very ladylike girls. They are a little more reserved than their sisters as if they are minding their manners. They will usually sit back and watch a little before they join in the play. But like all kittens they have a lot of energy; they just need a little time to warm up.  ChiChi is a darling with a personality that is sweet and gentle as can be.  She loves having the company of her four sisters to play with, but she is also happy snuggling up in a nice warm lap for a little one on one time or laying a game of hide and seek with her human companions.

ChiChi

ChiChi is a darling with a personality that is sweet and gentle as can be.  She loves having the company of her four sisters to play with, but she is also happy snuggling up in a nice warm lap for a little one on one time or laying a game of hide and seek with her human companions.

If you are interested in adopting a pair of these girls, please complete our "I'm interested" form or phone our cat coordinator at 503-284-8768 evenings and weekends.

Smudge

Smudge is a quiet natured girl who is very willing to  cuddle and be friends with you but is cautiously tolerant of other cats. She's much more comfortable by herself sharing space with humans. She would benefit from a quiet home and a lot of love and attention.

We find her to be lady-like and a quiet natured lap cat. Dogs and possibly children are not a good idea for Smudge.

Born the first of February, 2006 she is spayed, has started her vaccines and is negative for FIV and leukemia.

If you have questions about this delicate grey little girl, fill out our "I'm interested" form or phone our cat coordinator evenings and weekends at 503.284.8768.

Beatrix & Olive

These gorgeous girls are sisters.  Born in the middle of April 2007, they are just year old. 

Sweet as pie, there is nothing shy about these girls.  They love people and adjust well to other cats.  They are not dog tested, but should have no problems with older, cat friendly children and dogs.  They would be a great fit for someone with an elderly cat.

Olive

Olive is a shorter medium hair except for her tail.  She shares fluffy tail bragging rights with a brother.  Olive likes to nibble on your fingers and then give you a lick to seal the deal.

Beatrix

Beatrix is the shorthaired one of the pair but is every bit as sweet as sister Olive.  She goes straight to the lick (her form of kisses) because she loves everyone.

These kittens have been hand raised from the age of four weeks. This is part of the reason they are such happy, self-confident girls.  They've been spayed, tested negative for FeLV/FIV, and are up to date on vaccines.

If you are interested in adopting this wonderful pair, please complete our "I'm interested" form or phone our cat coordinator at 503-284-8768 evenings and weekends.

DeeDee 

This four year old MainCoone girl is almost as big as her brother.  She is very friendly once she is sure you are trustworthy.

Her brother on the other hand is the curious one and wants to check out all new things and people right away.

These two have lived in a veterinary clinic their entire lives so are very familiar with new people and other animals.  

Both are true to their breed in their size and demeanor.  They are gentle giants who love to be combed and brushed and once they know you, they are quick to greet.

Dexter

Dexter knows he is gorgeous but is not obnoxious about it.  He thinks everyone should love him not only for his good looks but because he's such a darned nice guy.

If you are interested in adopting this wonderful pair, please complete our "I'm interested" form or phone our cat coordinator at 503-284-8768 evenings and weekends.

Sweetie

This two to three year old little girl came about her name honestly.  One just automatically calls her sweetie, sweetie pie or sweetheart because she is just so darn loving.

She is a little overwhelmed by the other cats in her foster home but loves people so much we think she would be fine with one laid back cat or as the only cat in the household.  Sweetie would not like the competition of babies or toddlers.  She is not dog tested.

This little darling is spayed, needs one more round of vaccines and has had a quick teeth cleaning.

If you are interested in adopting this very loving girl, please complete our "I'm interested" form or phone our cat coordinator at 503-284-8768 evenings and weekends.

Zoey

This busy girl was born in the middle November and is still very much a kitten. She adores her foster brother (Mac) so we know she needs a feline buddy. She is on her way to adjusting to a dog, and with her spunky personality, we don't think it will be much longer before she's friends with him too.

Once she has tired of playing with her foster friend and their toys, she's ready for a good sit down in a warm lap.

She has tested negative for FIV and leukemia and has started her vaccinations.

If you have questions about this fluffy little girl, fill out our "I'm interested" form or phone our cat coordinator evenings and weekends at 503.284.8768.

Sebastian

Sebastian is a 7 year old sweetie who is quiet natured, easy to handle and loves to have his fluffy fur combed.  He has the most striking green eyes and that beautiful Maine Coon look.

Sebastian grew up with a dog and we think he is still looking for his friend.  Calmer, cat experienced other animals will work best.  He would also be good as an only-cat. 

He is not a competitive boy so doesn't push others out of the way to get on anyone's lap. However, if he had his own person he would be happy. He plays well by himself and we think a quiet home would do well for this lovely boy.

Sebastian is neutered, up-to-date on his vaccinations and has tested negative for leukemia and FIV.

If you have questions about Sebastian, fill out our "I'm interested" form or phone our cat coordinator evenings and weekends at 503.284.8768.

Calvin & Mazie

Calvin and Mazie are a delightful pair that were found at a home near one of our volunteers. They came from different litters but are very attached to each other and will not be separated. Both are very shy of new people, but once they know you they are the sweetest little loves!

Calvin was born around the end of April. He is quite the beautiful boy, with the most silky soft fur and very unusual coloring. The white of his fur is white as snow (kept so by his meticulous grooming), and then his colors go from reds to browns to grays. He also has the longest and most beautiful tail we have every seen. Calvin's favorite past time is sitting next to you on the sofa and having his lovely coat brushed.

His second favorite is playing with his pal, Mazie. The two can frequently be heard chasing each other through the house or playing with their toy mice. Although they are an active pair, they would do best in an adult-only home.

Mazie was born around the end of May. She was very ill when she was found at about 6 weeks of age and has made an amazing recovery. Mazie is quite small for her age, which is probably due to her growth being stunted by her illness. She is now fully recovered but may be prone to having flare ups of a respiratory infection in the future. She's done very well so far though.

Despite all she has gone through, she has turned out to be quite an affectionate little gal. Although she does not care for being held, she absolutely adores being stroked, kissed and talked to. In fact any display of adoration is readily accepted by Mazie and she shows her affection in turn with her very loud purrs and frequent head butts.

Calvin and Mazie have been spayed and neutered, have tested negative for FIV and leukemia and are up-to-date on their shots. They are very bonded and will go to their new home together.

Penny

Penny is a petite, friendly, active two year old girl. She's looking for a friend or three who love snuggling, insists on a spot on the bed at night, and loves racing around pouncing on dust bunnies and saving the world from sneaky balls of paper on the prowl. She is tolerant of other well-mannered kitties, and with time would probably end up buddies with another energetic, good-natured kitty. She has good house manners, uses a scratching post, and is a tidy litter box girl.

Penny loves to hold on with her paws and gently chewing on a finger or two, but is never rough, and knows what "let go" and "no" mean. Because of her active nature, a home with another buddy kitty to play with, or with someone who is home most of the day is probably best for her. Older children should be fine.

She is spayed, has tested negative for FIV and leukemia and has had her vaccinations.

  Daisy Mae

Daisy Mae is as pleasant and lovely as a cat could be. She spent her first years living outside, where she was cared for by a nice couple who adored her, but were unable to bring her inside. When they moved away, they could not take her along, but still continued to drive to their old house and look after her until an ARCF foster home became available. Once Daisy Mae learned what it was like to live indoors, she never looked back.

Because she was on her own for some time, she is sometimes unsure of people's intentions when they first approach her. Once she gets to know a person she feels more comfortable and relaxed. After just a few days, she was jumping into her foster mom's lap to snuggle and get treats. She so loves to be petted and cuddled, that her dainty little paws begin to knead as soon as a person touches her. She kneads delicately, never using her claws. She has a low purr that can be felt more than heard, and she does purr often. Daisy Mae has perfect house manners and no bad habits.

We think she would prefer a quiet, adult home without a lot of activity. She is cordial with the gentle male cat in her foster home, but somewhat fearful of cats with more aggressive personalities.  She might like a cat friend in her new home if the other cat were mild mannered, or she would be fine with human companionship only.

Daisy Mae is five years old. She has been spayed, has tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and her vaccinations are current. Whoever adopts Daisy Mae will be very fortunate to have such a sweet soul in their lives.

Tiger

This young male is between 2 and 3 years old.  He is such a gentleman and loves people.  He would do well with another cat, but we don't know what he thinks of dogs.  He would also do well with older children that are cat friendly.  

He is quite a tall cat and will be a big boy one of these days once he fills out.  Petite will never be his middle name.  His spots are more prominent than stripes, and his white bib and feet make him one handsome guy.

Tiger is not shy with people and appreciates a kind word and a good pet.  He is looking forward to settling in a home where he is safe and gets lots of love and attention.

He is neutered, up-to-date on his shots and has tested negative for FIV and leukemia.

If you have any questions about this gentle tabby, fill out our "I'm interested" form or phone our cat coordinator at 503-284-8768 evenings and weekends.

  Gizmo

Benti

This sweet brother/sister pair are delightful. Their foster home has several adult cats that are very picky about any new roommates (temporary or not), but these little ones took no time at all to charm their way into everyone's hearts. As you can see from the wrestling match, they are doing the work that kittens need to do to teach each other how hard to play. 

Born the first of September, they have tested negative for FIV and leukemia and are up-to-date on their shots.

If you are interested in this delightful pair, phone our cat coordinator at 503-284-8768 evenings and weekends or fill out our "I'm interested" form.

L.G.

L.G. (or Little Girl) has a large purr that matches her personality. She is very companionable and loves to spend time on your lap or close to you. Combing and brushing are two of her favorite things. 

She is tolerant from a distance of small children so would make a good family cat with older kids. Actually, she feels the same about other cats so would make a great only cat. She plays well by herself, but is not a zippy, overactive cat. 

L.G. is about five years old, spayed, up-to-date on her vaccines and has tested negative.

If you are interested in this lady-like feline, phone our cat coordinator at 503-284-8768 evenings and weekends or fill out our "I'm interested" form.

Emily & Bobby

This brother-sister pair are a wonderful combination. Bobby (the buff tabby) is a very quiet, make-no-waves kind of boy. It will take him a little time to adjust to a new lap. His sister on the other hand is an upfront, how are you? kind of girl. Her blue eyes sparkle and we swear she smiles. These two love to play in the evening and can rearrange toys like nobody's business. Bobby and Emily are tightly bonded and will go to their permanent home together. They will not be separated.

This darling pair were born in September of 2006. They have been spayed and neutered, have tested negative for FIV and leukemia and are up-to-date with their vaccines.
