I volunteered for the Cat Adoption Team from 2001-2009 (photography, writing cat bios for adoption, cleaning cages and fostering). I am very impressed with the organization of this truly No Kill shelter. Everyone there is a true animal lover. Their on-site veterinary hospital nurses ailing cats back to health and even helps the local wild animal shelter with their big cats. I fostered kittens until I adopted some of my fosters and realized I would truly become a crazy cat lady if I fostered more. I now just enjoy the wonderful cats that became my family members. Over the years they have helped rescue several strays that I or my friends came across. They are a truly worthwhile charity that I will continue to support and promote. Sorry I'm too busy and a bit too far away to volunteer anymore.
I have been volunteering at Cat adoption team since 2001. I cannot express the immense personal satisfaction I have gained over the years. I donate to the food bank every month to help keep people with their pets. This is a great program. Cat needs help in all capacities to continue the wonderful work of placing abandoned cats. Cat's partnership with the county shelters over the years has decreased the euthanasia rate in the Portland metro area. If you are considering volunteering, give CAT a try!
they treat the cats in their care like royalty! wonderful place to spend your volunteer hours. a truly loving caring group of people.
Instead of birthday presents, we ask for cat food to donate to the foodbank. We also send a monetary donation from time to time. We love the idea that this is a no kill shelter, but that it also helps with those who are struggling with a cat food pantry so that their pets do not need to be given up or go without. They take care of animals, try to match the cat with the right family. Only a small percentage of donations is used for administration, the majority is put back into the shelter.
