I am a Cat Wrangler. I round up unfixed cats, feral and owned, and get them fixed, using Poppa Inc. Funds. Spay Neuter is THE most Efficient Effective Use of Funds and Energy to Help Cats! Spay Neuter targets the source of the problem and prevents Countless Kittens and Cats from Ever Ending up In a Shelter.
WHAT I DO
I get cats fixed, about a thousand a year, feral and owned. Using funds from Poppa Inc. Click here to go to their website and donate! You see, one spay prevents thousands of cats from ever being born, to be abandoned or suffer and die, for lack of homes, or from ever needing rescued or shelter care, down the line. Spay/Neuter helps individual cats, the cat population as a whole, the person who cares for the cat or strays, the neighborhood, the community, stops disease spread vectors and even helps the environment. In other words---Spay/Neuter is a WIN WIN WIN situation for everyone. So, if you want to make a significant difference for cats in Oregon, get a cat fixed. You'll change the world for cats.

Partial List of Colonies Trapped and Colony Numbers
27 Seed Warehouse Cats At the request of a local seed company, I trapped 27 cats in their warehouses. 20 of the 27 were females. The colony would have exploded this spring.
35 Homeless Camp cats and kittens. At the request of homeless campers, I began getting cats fixed at a homeless camp. I've trapped 35 so far. Over half have been kittens I did not return because they need real lives. I still have 3 homeless camp kittens here awaiting homes. Check out Teddy, Honey and Starr.
Black Llewellyn Colony: 12 black cats and kittens fed by a couple in big time predator country. The kittens of the 12 will be lucky to make it a year, as they exist among huge predators, like cougars, coyotes, lynx and bobcat who want to eat them..
21 cats fixed, three kittens removed from an Albany man's place. Most were Bengals or Bengal mixes. Shaulin remains here from this situation awaiting a home.
With KATA of Sweet Home, helped remove and rehome over 30 cats from around a Lebanon house after the owner was foreclosed upon.
33 Cat Trailer: 33 cats living on one old woman's trailer porch in Albany.
HTN Colony: 95 cats fixed, on two short streets in Albany. Many were owned, and I consider getting them fixed, good feral prevention. Brambles originates from this colony and is still here, awaiting a home.
BS Colony: 145 cats fixed on one dead end street off highway 20. Half of these cats were tame. I rehomed about 40 of these cats over a year's time. Shady, Mops and Buffy originate from this colony and remain here, awaiting homes.
Vanman Kitten Colony: 18 cats I trapped/got fixed at Columbus Greens Trailer Park. I rehomed the 13 kittens plus one adult. I also got 8 owned cats fixed from one trailer and got 16 cats fixed, dumped out by one tenant, then fed by an old woman. She then died. Her family said they'd help place the cats and donate if I took them in, which I did, but they did not help find them homes or donate. Button and Tweetie remain here from that group, awaiting homes.
Bond Orange colony: 16 orange tabbies, trapped, fixed and relocated. Colony began when family brought in two pregnant cats as barn cats. Then suddenly they didn't want any of them.
Scravel Scramblers Colony: 24 cats and kittens trapped and fixed. Four kittens rehomed.
Millersburg Road Chaos Colony:12 adults and 7 kittens fixed.. Overpopulation Poster Child Colony: five cats so far fixed from this small colony in Albany, so named because the little group was ripe to explode in numbers. It consisted of: three teen girls, one mom with abandonment issues and an angry big tom. The first litters of kittens this spring would have increased the colony numbers by 16 to 20 cats. These are only a fraction of the situations I've addressed. |
Linn County has too many cats. Sheltering cats and kittens is a wonderful thing, but sheltering helps only a fraction of the cats out there in need. In Oregon, about 25, 000 cats are killed in shelters every year. Shelters are after the fact. They don't prevent overpopulation, they house a fraction of its aftermath. Better to prevent the problem in the first place. The most efficient effective use for donations is in high volume spay/neuter. You can also help by NOT being part of the overpopulation problem. Get your cat fixed immediately! If you are a Linn County resident and low income, disabled or elderly, you can qualify for a SafeHaven Cats Count Voucher and get your cat fixed for $20. Call or go to SafeHaven to get the voucher application. (I am not affiliated with SafeHaven) Make sure your neighbors get their cats fixed, also. For feral cats, Click here to go to the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon's website and make an appointment at one of their clinics. Now and then, The Neuterscooter comes to Oregon and holds low cost clinics for house cats, kittens and feral cats, too. Get Involved!
If you are feeding feral cats, TRAP them Now.(Before one or two, turn into a colony of 30 or 40) If You Feed Them, They're Your Cats. Fix Them

Feral cats are offspring of strays. Strays are abandoned or lost house cats. Feral cats are the direct result of humans who do not fix their housepets, then abandon or dump their cats or their cats offspring. The key to feral cat reduction is to reduce the irresponsible behavior of some human pet owners. Without any human intervention, feral and stray cats are doomed to live short, miserable lives producing litter after litter of kittens who will experience the same fate. Trapping these cats, neutering and vaccinating them, then returning them to their own territory is the only effective method of helping. This method of population control is called "TNR" (trap/neuter/return). The cats are provided with shelter and food and the colony is monitored for new arrivals, to prevent the cycle from starting all over again.
If you are feeding stray cats in your backyard or place of business, trap them NOW and have them neutered before they reproduce.
I do not trap cats or help people who do not want the cats returned. If you need information on programs or clinics that fix ferals in our area, email me and request that information. One person cannot solve the overpopulation problem alone.
One means to reduce feral populations is to fix house pets, especially in areas where abandonment rates are high. Unfixed abandoned house cats start feral colonies. In such notorius areas, landlords could certainly better their communities by maintaining a fixed pet only rental policy and strictly enforcing it. Click here, to learn more about TNR and feral cats.. Alley Cat Allies can provide a wealth of information.Click here to visit the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon's website where you can find their clinic schedule, and find FCCO clinic numbers, to register feral cats for fixing at any of their clinics.

Adopting a friend
|
Contact me, by e-mail preferably, about a specific kitty. I e-mail you an adoption application. You fill it out and return it. What am I looking for in an adoptor? If you rent, I need to know your landlord allows pets. I'll need a reference, preferably a vet you have used with previous or current pets. Then you come on over and meet the kitties! Be sure to bring a carrier. I'm just looking for stable loving homes for these rescued kittens. The process can be quick. Adoption fee is $30 for a fixed rescued kitten or cat. I also usually have fixed wilder cats, in the wings, needing mousing barn cat positions. |
