Meet Your Furever Friend
Our adoptables can’t wait to find their match!
Marcel
Meow! Hey! I’m Marcel! I’m a talkative, sweet, and high-energy cat. I need lots of attention and like to be in your business—however, I’m sure you won’t mind once I give you one of my world-famous headbutts, which have been proven to lighten any mood!
Rudi
Yo! I’m Rudi! I’m a fluffy friendly guy who loves to hang out with my people. I’m a special needs guy since I have a history of severe colitis due probably to IBD (Irritable Bowel Disease).
Panda-Adoption Pending!
I’m the super affectionate and attention-seeking Panda! I’m a big boy at about 20 lbs. and need someone who is not gone from home longer than about 6 hours a day due to my non-negotiable demand for lap time.

Find your center (and maybe a little cat hair?) by joining us for a virtual yoga class. This time, we’re asking YOU to supply the cats…or any other animal companions! This online, Zoom-based class is hosted by Portland yoga instructor Bonny Chipman.

Our Programs
Learn how we help animals at our shelter and in the community.
Our Shelter & Foster Program
We operate a free-roam shelter for cats and foster program for dogs and cats. We commit to the animals we rescue for life, including post-adoption support and a lifetime return policy.
Animal Aid Cares Fund
The Cares Fund is a partnership with local veterinary clinics to assist with financial aid for urgent medical or behavioral care. Since 2011, we have provided more than $50,000 in lifesaving grants.
Our Heartstrings Program
We specialize in helping animals we call Heartstrings Pets. These longer-term adoptables may be senior animals, shy or undersocialized pets, or animals with medical or behavioral needs.
