Something similar to this?

Code:
find "/cat" -xdev -type d -name "cat" -print | sort | while read dir
do
        echo "${dir}"
        cd "${dir}"
        ls -ld * | grep \^\d   # Directories only
        echo ""
done

Hard to understand your requirement. Not clear whether you are suggesting using "ls" (not "find") to locate the directory or whether you actually want to display the output. I guessed the latter. Note the use of "ls -ld *" to avoid "ls" listing the contents of subdirectories.
