SHELTER: CAT IS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST'S LARGEST NONPROFIT FELINE-ONLY SHELTER. LOCATED IN SHERWOOD, CAT'S SHELTER CAN ACCOMMODATE UP TO 200 CATS AND KITTENS. CAT FOCUSES ON TAKING IN CATS AT HIGH RISK OF EUTHANASIA, WITH 88% OF CATS AND KITTENS COMING FROM OTHER SHELTERS THROUGH THEIR NINE LIVES TRANSFER PROGRAM. CAT OFFERS ENRICHMENT, BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION, EXCELLENT VETERINARY CARE AND A VARIETY OF HOUSING OPTIONS TO MEET THE INDIVIDUAL NEEDS OF THE CATS AND KITTENS IN ITS CARE.ADOPTION: IN 2019, CAT FOUND HOMES FOR 3,614 CATS AND KITTENS FROM ITS SHELTER, OFFSITE ADOPTION CENTERS AND FOSTER HOMES.
