American Shorthair Cats Available for Adoption in Beaverton, Oregon

Meet Hook, the biggest boy of his litter—and just as confident as he is cuddly. He loves playtime, but what he really wants is to be in your arms. Hook has the sweetest habit of running over to stand on your feet, asking to be picked up for a snuggle. He’s incredibly loving, extra fuzzy, and has one truly unique feature: a little hook-shaped nub tail that you won’t be able to resist. If you’re looking for a playful yet affectionate companion, Hook is ready to steal your heart.

ADOPTION FEE: $250

* We do not allow same-day adoptions. * This is because we want our adopters to consider the commitment of owning a kitty. We are also a volunteer-run organization. We do not always have someone available to process the adoption agreement and medical records at the time of the in-person meet and greet. Thank you for understanding! Our goal is to process adoptions within 24-hours. If you have scheduled a meet and greet, you can help expedite the adoption process by sending us your walk through video of your home to our email address adoptions@mariospaw.org. Thank you!

What is covered in our adoption fee?

Mario's Paw felines come: Microchipped, Spayed/Neutered, FIV/FELV tested, UTD on age-appropriate vaccines, de-wormed, and flea-treated. * We do not permit any feline to be adopted without receiving a spay or neuter surgery. *

In addition to the above, your adoption fee helps us cover supplies, admin costs, and vet bills that arise with all of the kittens that come into our care. We take in many medical cases that require extra surgeries such as eye enucleations and amputations, specialist visits, and imaging. Because of the adoption fees, we are able to bring in more medically needy felines!

If interested in adopting a pair of kittens, please note that on your application as priority is given to those adopting a pair!
