Beaverton guardians travel across the west side into Portland, so trip timing, bridge or tunnel choice, and onward travel can matter as much as neighborhood labels. This page helps guardians compare the two feline-only Cats in the City boarding locations without reducing care fit to mileage.
Current availability, rates, policies, and final care acceptance are managed by Cats in the City.

Start with location fit
Both sites are feline-only and use private rooms. Sellwood is the higher-support and diabetic pathway; Mt Tabor offers a wide range of private room environments near Northeast Portland and PDX.

Open guideQuestions guardians ask
Care fit is confirmed only after Cats in the City reviews the complete profile and requested dates.
Transportation is a separate service and availability varies. Use the Cat Taxi page or contact Cats in the City to ask about routing.
Beaverton guardians travel across the west side into Portland, so trip timing, bridge or tunnel choice, and onward travel can matter as much as neighborhood labels. Geography can help narrow the options, but the cat’s care profile, room fit, requested dates, and staffing needs remain more important than a simple nearest-location rule.
Many stable medication and special-care profiles can be reviewed. Sellwood concentrates the highest-support and diabetic boarding pathways; acceptance is confirmed case by case.
Next step
Share the dates, routine, health history, appetite pattern, medication needs, and room priorities. Cats in the City will review the request and confirm the appropriate location and pathway.
