I Need Help With a Found Cat in the Portland Metro.
First steps.
- Ask around locally to see if anyone recognizes the cat.
- If you have no luck, bring the feline into a local veterinary clinic to scan for a microchip.
- If the cat isn’t microchipped, post their photo on social networks and flyers in your community.
- Post to online forums (see below).

Next steps.
Each county has different rules for what to do if you find a cat. Click on the county where the cat was found to learn what resources are available to you.
Clackamas County Clackamas County does not have a facility that accepts stray cats. OHS is working to establish a protocol for assisting stray cats and kittens from Clackamas County once HB3604 becomes law.
Clark County partners with Humane Society for Southwest Washington (HSSW) for animal services. Learn more here.
Multnomah County OHS has an agreement with Multnomah County Animal Services to accept sick, injured, or abandoned stray kittens under 12-weeks-old. An intake appointment is necessary. Learn more here.
Washington County Similar to Multnomah County, OHS has an agreement with Washington County Animal Services and Bonnie Hays Animal Shelter to accept sick, injured, or abandoned stray kittens under 12-weeks-old. An appointment is necessary. Learn more here.
