We did it. ❤️

I genuinely don’t know how to put into words what Saturday meant to me.

What started as a somewhat ridiculous idea to celebrate the cat who changed my life turned into an entire neighborhood filled with people walking around, looking in windows, meeting cats, talking to strangers, supporting cat adoption and just being wonderfully joyful together.

Thank you to every single person who came out for our very first Cat Walk Portland. To our incredible host houses who opened up their windows (and yards) to hundreds of cat loving strangers. To the true stars of the day - THE CATS. ❤️ To our volunteers and the Sweet Pickles Designs team who helped me pull off all the tiny details, especially Darby who probably did over 100,000 steps with me hanging posters on essentially every pole in the city. To For Paws PDX for being our home base and saying yes to this whole crazy idea. To Cat Adoption Team for trusting us and giving all of this a bigger purpose.

Thank you to Jamie at The Dancing Cat for creating the most perfect artwork and bringing Pickles back to life for us in such a special way and to Lovejoy Print Studio for helping turn approximately one million things in my head into actual things people could hold, follow and take home.

And thank you to everyone who donated, shared a post, told a friend, bought something, adopted a cat, carried a map around SE Portland or simply showed up.

You made my dream a reality❤️💫

More than anything, thank you to everyone for helping me make something so joyful out of missing my girl so much. I wanted to create something worthy of Pickles - something silly and special and full of cats and community and love.

I think we did. ❤️

Thank you, Portland. See you next year. 🐈❤️💫

Meet November (Nova) + Basil! 🐾

🧡 November (Nova, for short) is a tiny black cat with a very important full-time job: neighborhood watch from the front window. She loves playing fetch, birdwatching, and convincing everyone she definitely hasn't had dinner yet (she has 😹). Her cuddles are rare... but absolutely legendary when you earn one.

💚 Basil is a white-and-tabby alien disguised as a cat. 👽 His favorite pastimes include crunchy snacks, sunny naps, and finding the hottest room in the house so he can slowly roast himself rotisserie chicken-style. 🍗 While he occasionally hangs out in the front window, summer is usually spent perfecting the art of being extra toasty. Blep included. 😸

Come say hi to Nova, Basil, and 35+ other amazing cats this Saturday, August 8 | 2-4 PM!

📍 Pick up your map at For Paws PDX
💗 Free to attend - suggested donation benefits Cat Adoption Team
❤️ In memory of our girl, Pickles

We hope to see you there!

At the start, you'll collect a map of the route and be invited to head out. Along the way you'll visit window-loving cats as they lounge and judge you from their comfortable perches.

Meet the Cats: Otter + Milo! 🐈🐈

❤️ Otter and Milo are two very social neighborhood cats who love visitors! You can often find them hanging out on their porch or along the retaining wall, ready to collect pets from anyone passing by.

💜 Otter is a bit of a neighborhood legend, affectionately known as the “Mayor of Grant Ct.” He’s such a local fixture that he even has his own “DOGS BEWARE” sign asking passersby to give him some space while he figures out his feelings. 😹 When he’s not governing Grant Ct or working through his complicated relationship with dogs, he can frequently be spotted at the Cibo take-out window looking for pizza snacks. 🍕

🧡 Milo is equally happy to welcome visitors and soak up some attention alongside his brother.

One important note from the Mayor’s office: Otter is NOT dog friendly, so please leave pups at home when visiting this stop!🚫🐩

Meet Otter + Milo during Cat Walk Portland on August 8! Pick up your map at 2pm For Paws PDX and join the walk. ❤️

Meet the Cats: Hank! 🐈

💙 Hank is a very affectionate, chatty, goofy guy who's convinced laps exist solely for him. If you're sitting down, he'll probably let you know it's cuddle time by crying until you pick him up. His favorite place to nap? As close to your face as physically possible. ❤️

When he's not snuggling, Hank is chasing his beloved blue bird toy or settling in to watch a good thriller. He's not impressed by cat treats, but he'll happily sample your houseplants, plastic, or even a stray puzzle piece if given the chance. 🐦

Meet Hank during Cat Walk Portland on August 8! Pick up your map at 2 PM at For Paws PDX and come say hi to 37 amazing cats while supporting Cat Adoption Team. ❤️

Meet the Cats: Data! 🐈 🧡

Data is a 25-pound Maine C**n with a face that says, "I am judging you." But don't let his majestic fluff and permanently unimpressed expression fool you, underneath it all is a giant sweetheart.

His favorite thing? Being picked up, held and squeezed. The bigger the hug, the happier Data is. At 25 pounds, that's no small task! He's basically a giant teddy bear disguised as a very opinionated lion. 💜🦁

Meet Data during Cat Walk Portland on August 8! Pick up your map at 2pm at For Paws PDX and join the walk ❤️
