🐾 PORTLAND HAS A NEW BRIDGE... AND IT'S FOR CATS! 🌉🐱

When Multnomah County Animal Services found out the 2026 Cats Safe at Home™ Catio Tour includes a custom, mini-Hawthorne Bridge built for cats, we called in the experts. The Multnomah County, Oregon Transportation Division did an unofficial structural inspection and can confirm: "Pawthorne Bridge" is structurally sound for resident cats to use, and for Catio Tour attendees to enjoy from below!✨ The Pawthorne Bridge is the newest, non-operating vertical-lift bridge for cats in Portland, Oregon. Designed and built by Thom Arboren of Arboren_Cathedrals at the home of his inlaws, Debra and David, the wood and steel-mesh Pawthorne bridge serves a Portland Metropawliton group of 4 cats - Fezzik, Puck, Adder, and Earl Nimbus the Gray - where they can safely enjoy the outdoors without risk of harm to either the cats or local wildlife.

Pawthorne Bridge construction was funded entirely by the homeowners, and not through public bond measures or the new Bird Tattoo Tax. It serves as an imaginative and awe-inspiring example of catio construction to enrich and protect cats- one of many featured in the 2026 Catio Tour.

Want to see Pawthorne Bridge in person? Catch it on this year's Catio Tour, featuring imaginative catios all across Southeast Portland!

🗓 When: Saturday, September 12, 2026 | 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

📍Where: Self-guided tour around SE Portland

🎟 Tickets: $15 per person

🌿 Presented by: Catio Craftsman | Hosted by Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon & Bird Alliance of Oregon

Catios keep cats happy with fresh air while protecting local birds and wildlife. Get inspired for your own backyard!

Meet Holmes, a sweet and social young adult pup ready to investigate his way straight into your heart! 🕵️‍♂️ Just like his detective namesake, Holmes is endlessly curious, treating every walk like a grand mission to sniff out new clues. This ultimate social butterfly greets everyone like an old friend and loves being the center of attention. 🐕 He is also very vocal and will happily bark to let you know when he's excited or hungry! Because he loves to make himself heard, he'd prefer a house with a yard over apartment living. After a long day of solving backyard mysteries, this loud but loving boy turns into a total cuddle bug. 🏡 If you're an active family looking for a sharp, affectionate companion, come meet Holmes today. https://www.multcopets.org/adoptable/400111

Meet Hunk'A'Bear, a young, fun-loving American Shelter Dog mix who is 100% true to his name! 🐾❤️ This handsome boy is a wiggly bundle of happy energy who greets everyone with a fast-wagging tail, an eager smile, and the absolute best low-to-the-ground puppy like zoomies 🚀. While his enthusiasm means he can get a little excited on the leash and might jump up to say a big hello, he's a wonderful, balanced boy who settles down easily after a fun play session. Hunk'A'Bear is hoping for his new permanent home but he would also love a little vacation from the shelter in a foster home. Visit the shelter to learn more about him or about fostering https://www.multcopets.org/adoptable/388104.

📢 Announcing Eli Hurley as Animal Services Director 🐾

Following a competitive national recruitment process, Multnomah County announced the appointment of Eli Hurley as the new Director of Multnomah County Animal Services (MCAS), effective mid-September 2026.

The recruitment began with extensive outreach to community partners and staff, whose feedback directly shaped the qualifications, priorities and leadership qualities sought in the next director. The effort yielded a highly competitive pool of 79 candidates from across the country. Final candidates advanced through a robust selection process featuring four distinct interview panels to ensure a thorough, well-rounded evaluation from key stakeholders. Hurley was selected as the top candidate.

Hurley brings more than a decade of animal welfare experience to the role, having served with the Humane Association of Warren County (HAWC) since 2014. Prior to taking on the role of executive director in 2023, Hurley led the organization’s social media, marketing, and fundraising initiatives. His background includes a proven record of leadership spanning shelter management, animal welfare operations and veterinary services.
