Story
Meet Apollo, the charming and spirited feline star of Portland! This delightful single-child kitty thrives as the center of attention, yet appreciates his quiet moments just as much. Apollo’s playful antics are sure to entertain, as he adores his toys and is always ready for a game or two—especially if treats are involved as his prize.   While Apollo may find the roar of a vacuum overwhelming, his curiosity and love for life remain undimmed, quickly recovering with his signature resilience and charm. He’s an indoor cat who revels in the comforts of home, making him perfect for an indoor-only lifestyle where he can rule as the loving monarch of his domain. Perfect for a household without other pets, Apollo enjoys a serene environment where he can connect deeply with his humans. He might be best suited in a home without very young children, but he will flourish in a setting that can offer him some tranquility along with the love and playtime he adores.   Choosing to find Apollo a new home was not an easy decision, but it’s one made with his best interests at heart. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a zest for life and an abundance of love to give, Apollo could be your perfect match. Ready to add a touch of whimsy and warmth to your life? Apollo is waiting to light up your world!  Indoor only, Apollo lives in Portland and his rehoming fee is $50   This cat is offered for adoption due to the owner's personal circumstances. For more information on meeting and adopting this kitty, please fill out a pre-adoption application under "ADOPT" on our website at WWW.CATSCRADLERESCUE.COM.

Story
Missy was found as a stray 13yrs ago. She is shy, at first, then warms up. She has been an indoor/outdoor cat for the last 5 years. In the Summer you will find her in the sun, and the Winter she loves to lay by the fireplace or near the heater.   We have a dog that she tolerates, but not crazy about unfamiliar dogs or cats, hasn't been around kids. She is also happy to sit on your lap for scratches. We hate to let her go, we are Seniors ourselves and our living situation is changing. We have always lived where Missy had room to roam the yard away from any traffic, that is changing. She has not been around cars coming and going, so not "street smart."  Indoor - Outdoor depending on weather.  $40 rehoming fee.  Missy lives with her owner in Grants Pass, OR.   This cat is offered for adoption due to the owner's personal circumstances. For more information on meeting and adopting this kitty, please fill out a pre-adoption application under "ADOPT" on our website at WWW.CATSCRADLERESCUE.COM.

Story
Jax is an Indoor cat only.  Sadly I am moving and need to rehome him. This is hard for me because I am very attached to him -  its important he goes to a loving home. He prefers to be the only male cat in the house my other cat is a female. I found him as a kitten and have had him ever since. He loves to lay in the sunshine and watch the birds through the window. He is house trained and shares a litter box with my other cat. He is good with kids, he is very snuggly once he is comfortable with someone and loves sleeping in the bed. He is chatty and full of personality.  My sweet guy is 9 years young and his rehoming fee is $50.  Jax and his sister Maya live in Portland.   This cat is offered for adoption due to the owner's personal circumstances. For more information on meeting and adopting this kitty, please fill out a pre-adoption application under "ADOPT" on our website at WWW.CATSCRADLERESCUE.COM.

Story
Sanji is a very friendly and social cat who is wonderful with our four kids and two dogs. He’s an indoor cat and has been litter box trained since he was a kitten with no issues. Overall, very positive cat and it really saddens me to do this. Unfortunately, our eldest cat has never liked him and it’s gotten worse recently. Any time they see each other it turns into a screaming match and sometimes even physical altercations. It’s caused Sanji to be secluded to a small section of the house and it breaks my heart to see him like that. Therefore, I think the best thing to do for him is to rehome him. He’s perfectly fine with our third cat, and is fantastic with everyone else. He’s neutered and has his shots up to date. No money needed at all - we just want what is best for a sweetheart of a cat.

Story
My name is Echo and I’m 3 months and two weeks old. I came from an unplanned litter. I am very affectionate and love head butting and cuddling with my mom. I love rolling on my back on the floor and showing off my black spot markings on my tummy! I have lived with other kittens before and would love to go to a home with another confident cat or kitten. I’m still young so I love to explore around the house and run around. My personality is bubbly, curious, and affectionate. It would be great if my human is home a lot so they can play with me and shower me with love!

Story
Artemis was rescued from an unfortunate situation where she was kept in a cage under a tarp on the street in an encampment. She is a very affectionate and social girl! She is very comfortable around all people, other cats, and dogs. She is very gentle and loves to play and climb! Artemis would do very well in an environment where she can have plenty of enrichment and indoors only. She would do just fine as a solo cat, and she would also do very well in a home with other animals.

Story
Dreidel is a beautiful two year-old grey cat that is looking for a home without small children. She's mellow, not a big furniture scratcher, and loves snoozing on your lap or couch. We're so sad to be giving her up, but she's on occasion bitten young children. She would do better in a home without kids. She's never spent time around other animals, so we aren't sure how she would adapt to that, but it's possible a playmate might be a good fit for her.

We've had Dot and Super Kitty since they were kittens. Super Kitty got his name from the triangle shaped markings on his chest and is a very friendly, easy going cat. Not sure how Super Kitty would do with other cats besides his litter mate but does get along with our dog and they will sometimes snuggle up together. We are to relocating and won't be able to take the cats with us. Both cats have up to date shots, and are microchipped.

Story
We've had Dot and Super Kitty since they were kittens and have only been indoors. Dot is a very sweet but on the shy side. Once she gets comfortable with you however, she will nudge your hands and legs and sometimes drool when she's happy and feeling loved. We are getting ready for a move and won't be able to take the cats with us. They are both really sweet and tend to keep each other company. Ideally, they can stay together but want to find a loving home for each cat individually if that's what's best. Dot is pretty scared of dogs. Both cats have up to date shots and are microchipped.

Story
Jax has been mine since he was a kitten. I have had a series of unfortunate events that has forced me to move out of Oregon. He is my heart and letting him go will be very difficult for me, so I’m hoping to find someone who loves him as much as I do. Just like any cat he’s shy at first but once he warms up to you he will be your friend for life. He lives in a home with a cat now, he’s never been around dogs.
