Cat Rescue and Adoption Network shows cats at PetSmart on Chad Dr. and Willamette in Eugene, OR, in Petco near Valley River Mall and at Wags Dog Emporium.

Our mission is to provide care and find loving homes for companion animals of our community, with a focus on those with special needs.

WHO WE ARE

Cat Rescue & Adoption Network is an all-volunteer, non-profit, no-kill cat rescue group in Eugene/Springfield, Oregon.

It began in 2006 as a program to find homes for hard to place cats from Lane County Animal Services by using PetSmart as an off-site adoption center. In 2007, West Coast Dog & Cat Rescue was incorporated as a 501©(3) group to assists with cats and dogs. In 2017, as part of the group’s 10th anniversary celebrations, a decision was made to change the name to more accurately reflect our work. We hadn’t worked with dogs since 2009 and had never provided services further afield than the Eugene/Springfield, Oregon and immediate surrounding area. The new logo for Cat Rescue & Adoption Network (CRAN) was officially presented to the volunteers at their July 29, 2017 volunteer appreciation Catinental breakfast, and to the public July 30, 2017.

OUR MISSION

Cat Rescue & Adoption Network provides care and finds loving homes for cats and kittens in our community with a focus on those with special needs. As a no-kill program, we fully support and practice the philosophy of saving all adoptable and treatable pets.

WHAT WE DO

Adoptions

Since its inception in 2007, CRAN has rescued, cared and placed more than 3,000 abandoned and neglected cats into forever homes. We are grateful for our adoption site partners at Eugene PetSmart and Petco stores, Wags! Dog and Cat Emporium and Bobcat Pets as well as our generous volunteer foster families who offer sanctuary to cats until adoptions can be made.

Special Needs Pets

We work with local humane societies, animal rescue groups and government agencies to care for their “special needs” cats. We also assist the public with cats in urgent need on a limited basis.

Feral Cat Populations

Some of our volunteers can assist with Trap Neuter Return (TNR) of feral cats. TNR helps the community stabilize feral colonies and, over time, reduce their size. TNR creates more space for cats and kittens who come from other avenues.

HOW CAN YOU HELP? Volunteer! Foster! Adopt! Donate! Whatever your interests, we can find a rewarding match for your talents and time to make a difference in our cat rescue work. Submit an application at www.CatRescues.org/forms.
