Paws and Pumpkins Rescue
Forest Grove, Oregon
Paws and Pumpkins Rescue is a nonprofit cat rescue with a free-roaming cat lounge on Main Street in Forest Grove, next door to Penny Jaymes Boutique. Founded in Monmouth in 2023, it moved to Forest Grove in autumn 2025. The rescue takes in cats other shelters find hard to place, such as former colony strays, cats with FIV and cats with special needs, and all of its adoptable cats live in the lounge. Visitors pay a fee for an hour with the cats and get treats to offer them. Bookings get priority, walk-ins are welcome, and Tuesdays are by reservation only. No more than ten guests are allowed in the cat area at once, food and drink stay outside, and cats must not be picked up. Would-be adopters visit at least twice on different days. A gift shop with a thrift section, memberships and movie nights help fund the rescue.
