Whisker Wonderland 2008 will be held on Friday, November 7 at the Melody Ballroom.

CAT’s 2008 theme is “An Arabian Night at Whisker Wonderland”. Be part of the excitement as the Ballroom takes you back to the days when Genie’s did pop out of lamps.

Seeking Silent / Live Auction Items

Cat Adoption Team depends on the generosity of our community members in making this event a huge success. No donation of an auction item is too small or too large. With over 300 community members attending this year’s Whisker Wonderland, we want to have something for everyone - from travel, entertainment, and wine packages, to practical things such as home accents, health, and beauty, all types of services, and cat-related items.

•Do you have a vacation home or timeshare? Trips to places near and far are always popular.
•Do you know someone famous? Maybe you can arrange lunch with them.
•Do you have a line on tickets to a concert or show?
•Can you arrange a stay in a downtown hotel or get a gift certificate from a great restaurant?
•How about a unique item (artwork, a collector’s edition) you’re willing to part with? It may just be someone else’s new treasure.
•We want to go green this year! Do you have anything to contribute to an eco-friendly package?

If you have an item you’d like to donate, please contact Kim Christiansen, CAT’s Development Manager, at 503-925-8903 x257 or via

On November 9, the SS Mew York sailed for Whisker Wonderland, the Cat Adoption Team’s Fourth Annual Fundraising Auction

With over 250 passengers, this year’s event was CAT’s most successful auction ever. The evening began with cocktails on the ‘lower deck’ of the Melody Ballroom. Guests bid on the 98 silent auction items to the smooth jazz sounds of the Noah Peterson Band. Emcees Kimberly Maus and Pete Ferryman, of Fox 12 Oregon, ushered guests to the beautifully decorated ballroom to begin the exciting live auction. With 23 creative and sought after items, the live auction proved to be electrifying.

Thank you to everyone for helping us raise almost $126,000 - the most successful event in our history. We are extremely grateful for your participation and generous support of CAT and the work we do in our community.

Thank you to all our sponsors and volunteers who helped make the evening one to remember.
