History

Established in 2011.

The Thrift store Befitting Cat Adoption Team

The Cat Adoption Team (CAT), founded in May 1998, The Cat Adoption Team (CAT) is the Pacific Northwest’s largest nonprofit, limited admission/​adoption guarantee cat shelter (we are able to take in cats as we find homes for the cats in the shelter). CAT has its own full-​service veterinary Hospital onsite.

A leader in the shelter community with its extensive shelter medicine, adoption, and foster care programs, CAT cares for 400 to 600 cats and kittens on a daily basis with the help of a dedicated team of staff and volunteers at CAT’s shelter in Sherwood, foster homes, and various offsite adoption locations throughout the Portland metro area.

As a nonprofit organization, CAT receives no government funding and relies on the generous support of the public and volunteers.

If you love cats (and I do!), where can you donate your unwanted things? I care about other charities, of course, and I donate what I can, but cats are special! So, when my father passed away, I took all his clothes and other personal items to this shop! They use the funds they take in for CATS!
Since then, my mother and I have driven up there 20 miles a few times to donate other unwanted clothing and household items!
The store is clean and laid out tastefully. The clerks are friendly, and the prices are all moderate! I have found great bargains!
There are cat knickknacks and decorations, cat raising equipment and a cat or two in the store, which makes it extra fun!

I cant rave about this place enough! The prices are amazing. I just picked up a nearly new duvet cover (that retails for 59.95 at Target) for $ 8!
Ive also found skinny jeans for 5 $ and a lot of trinkets. I even foudn a couple bags i just LOVE for under 5 $ each! I have found some great jewelry as well. I picked up 4 necklaces and 2 pairs of earrings for 20 $. Ive gone here multiple times and ill go back again and again.
Cat Adoption Team is a partner of my own work, Willamette Humane Society in Salem, and they take cats from us to free up space in our kennels for community cats. They even adopt straight from the thrift store! No worries though, not in the market for a feline friend yourself? Shop at this adorable boutique and your dollars go directly to help the mission they have.
While «technically» Cat Adoption Team thrift store is a «competitor» of our own thrift store, I refuse to look at it that way. ANYTHING that helps the animals furthers the mission, and they have REALLY good stuff. I LOVE the location too. My home is beaverton even if i temporarily live in Salem, so any time I get to go to my hometown, I WILL be visiting this store.
the gal who spends all of her time there :) Bobbi, is super sweet, knowledgable and runs a good store!

For the past 8 months, I have been tutoring students in that neighborhood. I usually have from 5:15−6 free, and about once or twice a month, I have tried to make a trip here. I have gotten «Chicos» tops here for .99 cents. You can’t beat that price for designer clothes. Other clothing I have gotten for $ 2 – 5. Jewelry can be as low as $ 1 too. I bought holiday ornaments and cards here too. I have gotten nice scarves for only $ 2. Some items like sticker sheets and keychains are as low as .25. I also bought a Tommy Bahama candle here for just $ 2 and a La Provence perfume sample set for $ 5. The bargains are here, but you have to dig for them. I am glad most of the money goes towards a smaller non-​profit that helps cats.

Just scored Danscos for $ 7. Very cute place, nicely merchandised. I will certainly be back.

Could it be true? A great thrift store befitting cats!!! YES!!!
This is a great little thrift store with so many great finds. It is a bit on the small side, but don’t let that turn you away. Unlike most thrift stores, they don’t have tons of clothes, but do have lots of other things: home décor, holiday items, accessories, even a section with cat items!
Speaking of cats, there is an adoptable cat there to remind you what your money goes towards. This is a great local place to donate to, and know it will go towards a fabulous cause. My new favorite spot!

The thing about being a consummate thrifter is that you’re reluctant to share your thrifting secrets. But this place is just too adorable and affordable to not share! And also for an awesome cause of rescuing kitties (even though I’m highly allergic and I once had a roommate who owned two super duper mischievous cats, I still hold no grudges. Ha!)
The secret to a place like this is to not go often. I know, that sounds odd and counter-​intuitive. But because it’s such a small shop, turn over on items is relatively slow (compared to those mega-​conglomerate «thrift stores» like Goodwill where the Oregon Goodwill executive director made a HALF MILLION DOLLARS last year! SHEESH!). The prices are great and you get to check out the house cat too!
Sure, I’ve left without buying anything a few times, but it’s not such a great loss when you consider that Sesame Donut is just a block away! CAT is win-​win!

The minute I walked inside the door, I KNEW I’d find a lot to buy! I even started putting them in my shopping basket.. . I just barely started, when I found a case that could work as my cash register, but I went to look for a clerk, asking her permission if I could try out my PAPER MONEY in one of the compartments. So. .. if I got caught taking something out of my purse & putting it back, the clerk would know, my intentions, and that I wasn’t shop lifting or something! She didn’t understand what I wanted done, (btw. I also pointed to her the flap of the lining mirror, came off). that was it — it is something I could fix myself or she can, but I made sure my $$$$ can fit inside. She said, sure I can, and as she walked away, she mumbled «Jeez!»
So I said: «What did you just said?» «I said, ‘sure you can go ahead & do that!» No! That’s not what YOU SAID, lady!
Because of that. .. I just decided, I’m DONE SHOPPING & told my husband, I’m ready to go!
I paid 2 of the ones I REALLY wanted, that I first found, when I got the shopping basket, and left, fuming!
Don’t say something negative out loud, you’re DRIVING YOUR CUSTOMERS AWAY!

Love this thrift store! Love saying hello to the kitty’s in the window. Great range of craft, books, clothing, shoes, homewares, accessories and a heap of heavily discounted cat toys and accessories.
I love that all proceeds go towards the CAT Adoption Team. They also are a part of the Spay and Save for cats.

Proceeds going to a good cause… CHECK!
CATS… CHECK!
This is one of my favorite thrift stores! It can be hit or miss (it’s a small store) but you can really find some cool stuff here! The staff does a great job keeping the store neat and organized! Whenever I’m in the neighborhood I always make sure to stop in… you know, for the cats :)

Prices are very low, but the selection is nothing too impressive.
The cause is good! I love cats!

This is my favorite thrift store. They have quality brands for the best price, good selection, friendly service, and they have a cat in the store. I love cats!
Once I found a latte machine, brand new in the box for 25 bucks, but last time I was there the household section was a little lacking. They always have fantastic deals on the sale rack outside. Designer tops for 2 bucks? YAY! Another time I picked up a pair of barely used designer leather boots for 5 bucks.

It’s a well organized shop. Big variety of items. They don’t sell kids clothes or toys. I have gotten some realy good buys there. High quality items. I like the fact that the store supports cats.

Have you been here yet? WHY NOT!!! It is awesome. Went again today and they are still going strong — great selection, great prices, great service. I got 19 items for $ 8.45. NO JOKE.
Also, the gals that work there were kind enough to suggest a yummy diner as a good place for lunch (Six Corners Café — right across the parking lot). Whenever I’m in this area, I’m going to shop here. Good stuff, good people and good cause!

This is my first 5 star review, but not because I’m cheap with the compliments. It’s just that the shop does such a nice job of it’s thrift store stuff, PLUS, it supports animals. HEY a true win-​win! I love my pets, and I love to save money. I wound-​up buying an awesome jean jacket, some cool books, some vintage aprons, a beautiful lambswool sweater, and some vintage table linens. They have some vintage tube radio items that would have made an excellent project for my grandpa back-​in-​the-​day. I’m just sad that I don’t have those kinds of repair skills.
Everything is neat and tidy. Items are really well organized, spaciously arranged, and the staff were friendly.
Give them your business, help the little furry ones, and reuse/​recycle. It’s all good here!
