Multnomah County Animal Services (MCAS) is an animal rescue shelter and an animal control agency. Responsible for the city of Portland and neighboring communities in Multnomah County, our officers are responsible for performing animal abuse and cruelty investigations. We also offer dog and cat licensing, lost and found pet services, and animal adoptions through our shelter in Troutdale.

Joint Audubon/Feral Cat Coalition Presentation to MCAS Staff
Multnomah County Animal Services is dedicated to providing staff members with opportunities for training and growth. Once each month, all MCAS employees come together for a monthly staff meeting and occasionally, these meetings provide an opportunity for outside experts to share their knowledge with MCAS staff.
At our most recent staff meeting, MCAS hosted special guests, Bob Sallinger of Portland Audubon Society and Karen Kraus of Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon.
Canned Food Drive a Huge Success!
Pets on Broadway, one of our neighborhood cat adoption partners, has been collecting Weruva canned food donations for MCAS for several weeks. This food drive was punctuated with a "Caturday" celebration this past Saturday to celebrate their 100th MCAS cat adoption. The event was wildly successful and MCAS received a large donation of Weruva food as a result of their efforts. Thank you so much to Pets on Broadway, Weruva, and all of the people who came out and donated! We appreciate your generosity.
Everything's Coming Up Roses!
From June 7-11, MCAS will have an "Everything's Coming Up Roses" adoption special. For a limited time, cats and dogs can be adopted for just the cost of a license fee. That's just $12 for cats and $25 for dogs. Trained staff members and volunteers can work with you to find just the right pet for your lifestyle. We hope you'll stop by to add furry friend to your family!
