Founded in May 1998, the Cat Adoption Team (CAT) is the Pacific Northwest's largest nonprofit, adoption-guarantee cat-only shelter. Our mission is to save the lives of homeless, unwanted, sick, and injured cats and to work with our community to provide feline expertise and quality programs and services for people and cats.
CAT takes in and finds homes for more than 3,000 cats and kittens each year; provides spay/neuter surgeries for approximately 1,500 cats (including low-cost surgery for publicly owned cats and all CAT cats and kittens prior to adoption); and provides information and resources to cat owners throughout the Portland Metro region and beyond. In 2019, CAT found a home for its 50,000th cat! CAT is a founding partner of the Animal Shelter Alliance of Portland (ASAP); working together over the past 10 years, ASAP partners have increased feline lifesaving in the Portland metro area to over 95% - making our community one of the safest for homeless pets!

Program names and associated costs are listed for the top programs as reported on the charity's most recently filed Form 990. The top programs displayed will include the largest three programs, or those programs covering at least 60% of the charity's total expenses, whichever comes first.
Independent - the organization is an independent organization or an independent auxiliary (i.e., not affiliated with a National, Regional, or Geographic grouping of organizations).
Cat Adoption Team is committed to transparency and integrity. We follow accounting best practices for daily and monthly financial reconciliation, and retain the services of a CPA. Each year, we participate in an independent auditor's review (conducted by a third-party firm, McDonald Jacobs). An auditor’s review is more efficient and cost-effective than a full audit, and it is not unusual or inappropriate for a nonprofit of our size to have independent reviews rather than annual audits in most years.
