On March 27th I am transporting as many feral cats from the aforementioned colony that I can trap. I believe there are 38 cats total- but it is hard to count cats who wish to stay elusive and have such great hiding spots. These cats will be neutered by the Feral Cat Coalition and a group of women in Salem will be transporting all the cats in their vehicles. I just have to get my clowder into Salem.

TFCC will do neuters/spays, check and treat for earmites, parasites and vaccinate and ear tip all my group all for a donation. I will be doing a local fundraiser but usually they only net a few bucks and I am asking those of you who can- to put this out through social media and other means to see if we can raise some money for this group.

Usually when you do these spay and neuter clinics they are limited to only the county they are in- we are far away from Portland, but this group accepts any number of cats from anywhere in Oregon and to be that is astonishing and quite a blessing.

If you can spare a few dollars on payday- consider sending it this way for this group. This time my vet won’t see a cent of the donation and that too is rare. 😉 LOL

At any rate, March is going to be busy for us as we start to acclimate these stray cats to traps. My plan is to go in 5 days before the day of transportation and set out all the traps I can find and wire the doors so they stay open. Then the day before we transport, the wires come off, the doors come down and afterward the colony is sterile. Amen-

As always thank you for your help, your prayers and your comments which are all always welcomed-
