American Shorthair kittens & cats in Hillsboro, Oregon

Meet Nemesis, a graceful and enchanting feline in search of a new human companion to call her own. With her distinctive personality and deep capacity for connection, she’s on a quest to find someone special who can become her true confidant.   When Nemesis forms a bond, she transforms into a remarkably affectionate and chatty companion, savoring intimate moments of bonding and conversation. While she thrives on meaningful interactions, Nemesis also values her personal space. It’s important to respect her boundaries, as she can become overstimulated and might swipe if petted for too long.   Nemesis excels in calm environments where she feels secure and at ease. Although she has coexisted with other cats and dogs before, she finds their presence overwhelming and prefers to retreat to her cozy hideaways. Therefore, a home without other animals or children is ideal for her.   Vaccinated, spayed, and in good health, Nemesis is free of any known medical issues—aside from being a bit chonky. She has a clean record with litter box use and hasn’t shown any inclination to damage furniture. If you're looking for a devoted and charming cat who will thrive in a peaceful setting, Nemesis could be the perfect match for you. Adopt fee is $50 this pretty girl lives in Salem.

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.

I originally adopted Cider from the Oregon Humane Society when I was 12 years old. She’s been a sweet, cuddly, playful, and amazing pet every day since then- but my living situation has recently downsized quite significantly, and I’ve been so busy between work and school that I worry about her quality of life… She’s never had any health issues until some gingivitis that started up last year, and I’ve been paying for regular dental cleanings and tooth protecting treatments regularly. She has an account with Banfield until July of next year, as well. She’s only 11-12 years old, and still has a wonderful life ahead of her- I just want to make sure she’s taken care of properly by a loving family that’s deserving of her…

Toby is his legal name, he was my wife's ESA animal way back when. She nicknamed him Chunks because he's a Chunky boi and it stuck. Very spoiled bc of my wife but she passed away last year and I took him in as my ESA animal. Now I see I barely have time and energy to properly take care of him and tend to him as she used to, I just wish to give him a proper home that he deserves.

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.

I don’t know her breed. She is about a year old. She is very cute and cuddly, but also has an attitude, so she needs an owner who will be okay with that. I had to move in with my parents again to save on rent, and she is not loving living with their dog and cat. They put up with each other, but she definitely wants to be the alpha, and is not nice to the other pets. It would be ideal if the new owners don’t have other cats or dogs. She did really well when it was just my husband and I in the house, but she is not loving having more people around now either. But even with all of that, we were making it work, but soon we are going to have a baby around the house, and she does not do well with children. I am scared she will bite or scratch the kids, and that’s not worth it to risk it. So I would not recommend her to go to a home that will have children around. She also absolutely loves being outside. She loves climbing trees and stalking through plants.

Mary is very playful, inquisitive, and vocal. She loves to talk to humans. Unfortunately she doesn’t get along with our other cat (her litter mate) or our dog. She would live her best life in a petless home, with someone or multiple someones who are often home (retired, works from home, multi-person household). Likes a good back scratch and her “Da Bird” toy. 3 years old.

We adopted this beautiful, friendly boy in December of 2022. I found out shortly thereafter that I was pregnant. During my pregnancy, Andie was the sweetest companion. He is a lap cat by nature and ALWAYS wants to be near you! He loves pets and playing. He eagerly greets visitors. However, when I brought my twins home in September of 2023, I could tell that Andie was stressed. He wasn't getting as much attention and the constant noise of babies led him to start over-grooming. I wanted to give him a full year to see if he might adapt; however, he is still over-grooming and has begun to demonstrate redirected aggression. Andie never had any behavioral issues before my children were born. I believe he would be an incredible cat for a home where people are typically present (work from home) and would do well with much older children who can be gentle and even play with him.
