What happens when our admissions team gets a call about 6 kittens needing a home?
1. We run around in circles with excitement.
2. We take each individual kitten through our extensive fear-free admissions exam process to make sure they are safe and sound.
3. If any of the kittens need further medical treatment our onsite veterinary staff creates a specialized treatment plan.
4. We call our incredible foster @homefurnowfosters and say “YOU WANT BABIES” and then she says “YAS.”
5. We take a billion photos because 💗🥰😻🐈🐾😽🙃

Our Foster program is one of the many incredible resources CAT has to offer. If you want to learn more about CAT’s foster program or you’re interested in becoming a foster, comment “foster” and we will send you a link for more information!

(SWIPE TO THE END FOR A CUDDLE PUDDLE SURPRISE)

Happy #fosterfriday It's time you met Strawberry.

This laid-back 3-year-old cat enjoys the calmer things in life: a quiet home, soft beds, and calm humans to call her own. Strawberry takes her time to get comfortable in a new environment, but once she does, she's a wonderful companion. In her foster home, she loves chin scratches and makes everybody laugh when she gets the zoomies and races around the house. Most of the time, she just wants to curl up in a cat bed or on a soft blanket with the people she trusts.

Does this sound like a good fit for you?

Find out more about Strawberry and apply to adopt her on our website today at the LINK IN BIO.

We're hiring for two positions right meow:

🧡 Veterinarian
Our ideal candidate has high-quality, high-volume spay/neuter (HQHVSN) experience, enjoys feline dental procedures, and is excited about practicing medicine with a skilled team of Fear Free Certified veterinary paraprofessionals. This is a high-volume, team-based environment, so we’re looking for a veterinarian who can lead, delegate, and maximize the skills of the entire medical team. The ability to prioritize effectively, make sound medical decisions, and keep patients moving through a busy hospital is essential. Shelter medicine experience is a plus, but a passion for cats, strong clinical skills, and a commitment to high-quality patient care are what matter most.

This is a full-time, salaried position with weekday, daytime hours with expected start date in mid-October 2026. Our veterinarians enjoy a predictable schedule while working in a unique environment where every day brings the opportunity to improve the lives of cats.

🧡 Shelter Operations Director
Looking for an opportunity to put your leadership skills to work for cats and people? Cat Adoption Team (CAT) is seeking an experienced Shelter Operations Director to lead our shelter and community programs.

In this role, you’ll lead a multidisciplinary department of approximately 17 employees through three direct-report managers and program leaders. You’ll oversee animal care, admissions, adoptions, foster care, volunteer engagement, customer service, behavior and enrichment, staffing, and departmental budgets. As a member of CAT’s senior leadership team, you’ll also help turn organizational goals into effective operations and collaborate across departments to keep cats moving safely and efficiently through our programs.

Gratitude Shout-Out to our amazing volunteers from @georgefoxuniversity

They spent their annul service day with us on Wednesday and did we keep them busy. With smiles on their faces, they mopped floors, scrubbed windows, built cat beds, dusted kennel tops, sorted cat beds, raked weeds, mulched garden beds, and more!

We look forward to hosting them every year!

Adopt Gwen and Otis!

This bonded pair of 3-year-old cats is as curious and sweet as can be. And they've just become available for adoption.

Outgoing Otis takes the lead to meet anybody that's walking by their kennel. Gwen is a bit more subdued and likes to gather all the info before making a decision.

These two would do great in a mid-energy household. They're playful, fun, and meow-morable. Come meet them at the shelter today!
