CAT’s mission is to work with our community to save the lives of homeless, sick and injured cats and kittens by offering shelter, adoption, foster, hospice, and veterinary services to end needless feline euthanasia in our community.
The Cat Adoption Team Hospital is a full-service veterinary hospital onsite at CAT’s Sherwood shelter. In 2002, CAT was the first animal shelter in Oregon to open a veterinary hospital inside an animal shelter.
Led by CAT’s Medical Director (a veterinarian board-certified in feline medicine), a team of paid veterinary staff and volunteer veterinary professionals provide preventive and crisis medical treatment as needed for all the cats and kittens in CAT’s care. In rare cases, when specialized treatment is necessary, the Hospital works with outside veterinary specialists.
The Hospital includes a surgical suite, equipment for onsite x-ray and laboratory services, an isolation ward to reduce the spread of infectious diseases, and a treatment room including pharmacy and medical equipment necessary for preventive care for all feline patients.
The CAT’s veterinary Hospital is committed to the overall health of each cat who comes into its care. All unaltered cats at the shelter are spayed/neutered prior to adoption. No cat is euthanized unless the cat’s condition is hopeless and he or she is suffering.
