Open guideQuestions guardians ask
Clear answers before the request.
Care fit is confirmed only after Cats in the City reviews the complete profile and requested dates.
Do you pick up cats in Tigard?
Transportation is a separate service and availability varies. Use the Cat Taxi page or contact Cats in the City to ask about routing.
Which boarding location should a guardian in Tigard choose?
Tigard guardians often approach Portland from the southwest and can compare Sellwood with a longer Northeast route to Mt Tabor. 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.
Can a cat with medication or medical needs board?
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.
