Volunteer
Volunteer time or resources to help us. There are lots of ways you can help homeless cats outside of adoption or fostering.
Foster
We are committed to finding foster care for cats, whether they are abandoned, neglected, homeless, and/or have special needs.
Adopt
Being small gives us the opportunity to know each cat – their personality, what they like to eat, and how they like to play.
Donate
Your monetary donations – which are tax deductible – enable Furry Friends to continue our rescue program and community outreach.

Furry Friends Fur-Ever Tail: Zelda and Jessica Blodgett
“I grew up around cats, but Zelda is the first one I adopted on my own,” Jessica says. “I kept her original name because it’s so unique. When people ask if she was named after the character in the Legend of Zelda video games, I say ‘yes’ but that I don’t play the games. I was won over by her beautiful eyes!
“She adjusted gradually to living with me and although she didn’t like my roommate’s cat at first, they tolerate each other now. She’s definitely made me feel less lonely since my move to Portland, and while I’ve been trying to harness train her, it’s not going well.

Furry Friends Fur-Ever Tail: Ella and the Scotts
“Ella is kitty number 10 for us,” Julia says. “We were told that she was 8 years old and we figured that she was used to her name -- it seemed to fit her.
“We wanted an older cat (12 + years), but we didn’t click with any of those available at the time. We’d been without a cat for seven months and we always try to adopt one who’s often overlooked. My husband chose Ella because of her cute features. And she really IS a cutie.

Furry Friends Fur-Ever Tail: Duncan and Karina Gress
“I recently had to put down one of my two cats due to a progressive nerve injury,” says Karina. “I was devastated at losing my fun, affectionate seven-year-old Miles, and my other cat, Victor, showed signs of depression, such as hiding and not eating. I live alone, and I’ve always had pets in pairs, and it seemed so quiet with just one cat.
“After about six weeks, I decided it was time for a new friend, and began looking at rescue websites for a kitten. I wanted a kitten with lots of energy, lots of love to give, and who was good around other cats. I was looking at the Furry Friends website and saw a litter of black kittens, all with names that started with G. As soon as I saw Gunther, I knew that I had to fill out an application. I had had two black cats in college, and I have a soft spot for the mini-panthers (Victor is a tuxedo).
