I love this place because it makes me feel good when I am around the cats,,, I love taking pictures of the cats too... I love this lady named Sharon and I have learned so much from her.... She makes my day every time I go there...

I volunteered to become a foster parent. I fostered 3…read morekittens that were orphans. Sharon the owner/the woman who runs this shelter told me that the "family" that dropped them off were completely unreachable. So she asked me to foster them. The day I picked them up I expressed openly that I would want to adopt them (being as they were orphans). One employee and the previous foster mom who passed them to me told me that was possible. Over 3 weeks later we received a phone call from Sharon saying that she had made a mistake and that the family wanted them all back. After the fact that several foster homes raised them during the difficult stages. Of course this was very upsetting and heartbreaking to me and my family. Come to find out she wasn't being truthful about the situation. We were told that it was 1 family that was out of town on a vacation to Europe. But the truth came forth that it wasn't 1 family but yet 3 different people. We have no idea what was in it for her financially but this seemed wrong. I received thereafter a phone call from the police dept. telling me that she was stating that me and my family had stolen these kittens. Demanding their return. This came as an incredible shock to us and our children. Who has done nothing but love, and care for these babies for weeks! My children are devastated to have to have said goodbye to 3 sweet souls that they grew to love. With reluctance we arranged a time and day to return them to her care, to avoid any legal issues. She then proceeded to accuse us of not returning the correct kittens. Again I received another call from the police dept. I just want anyone and everyone to be VERY aware of this shelter and this woman before considering adopting from them. My understanding of a shelter is to give animals a loving home and keep them off the streets. Obviously this is not her/their intent. My want to help and foster has been completely tarnished and I am now scared to ever try and help again. We hope that every animal in need finds a loving home and we would hope that this entire staff of people will find their way back to the intent of this business.....

It is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) organization and one of the only area shelters with facilities for geriatric and feline leukemia positive (FeLV+) cats. House of Dreams has a medical unit for cats who need separate living quarters while undergoing treatment too. The facility is entirely dependent upon donations, grants and events for funding. Volunteers work every day, 365 days each year, to clean and maintain the shelter, feed and look after resident kitties and those looking for their forever homes. No kitty is turned away. All cats have been spayed or neutered, tested for FIV/FeLV, and are current on vaccinations, plus any additional dental and medical care the cats may need are taken care of during their stay. Every November "The Pretty Kitty Holiday Bazaar" is held and features handmade gifts for people and pets. An amazing raffle is held that is the highlight of the event. Many artists donate items to be sold for the benefit of all the resident kitties. This year the Bazaar is on November 9th from 10am to 4pm at 5441 SE Belmont, in Portland.
