CAT in the NewsCAT’s Face Lift
On August 5 and 6, CAT staff and volunteers gave CAT’s main adoption room a face lift. After 10 years of service, the old cat cages needed replacing. Thank you to all the staff and volunteers who assisted with this installation. And a special thank you to all of you, who were very patient while we closed the shelter for the two-day installation.

Portlanders Thought Like a Cat
The Cat Adoption Team wants to thank all the ‘cat-testants’ who showed up at the Meow Mix ‘Think Like a Cat’ game show auditions. There were 183 cats who competed for a chance to win their owners $1 million at the upcoming ‘Think Like a Cat’ game show, which will air on the Game Show Network in November.
One lucky cat-human team from Portland will get their chance and we’ll find out who that is in just a few short weeks. If Portland’s team wins, CAT could receive up to $100,000! Read more about it.
