The Cat Adoption Team (CAT) is the Pacific Northwest's largest non-profit, feline-only shelter with its own full service veterinary hospital on site. CAT's mission is to work with the community to save the lives of homeless, sick, and injured cats and kittens by offering shelter, adoption, foster, hospice, spay/neuter, and veterinary services to end needless feline euthanasia. CAT will find homes for over 3,200 felines this year. As a 501(c)(3) publicly-supported charity, CAT relies on the generous support of the public and volunteers.

Animal Aid is a non-profit, no-kill rescue organization that has been in existence since 1969. Their mission is to reduce animal birth rates and animal suffering through educating the public about spaying and neutering, offering no-interest loans to community members who cannot afford emergency veterinarian care, and finding permanent homes for abandoned and special needs animals. We house cats in our free-roam shelter and dogs (and a few cats) in loving foster homes. In partnership with other organizations we provide support for the Tom & Mom Cat Special (Valentines Day through St Patrick's Day) - $10 for each spay/neuter.
