Do you or does someone you know have a backyard outdoor enclosure for cats (also called a “catio”)?

We want you to be part of our Catio tour later this summer!

These special clinics are generously sponsored by Colleen Sorensen. The goal of the two clinics is to give 100 cats freedom from breeding.

This September 28, 2013 at Sellwood Riverfront Park we will form a pack (we prefer colony, though) for the 2013 Strut Your Mutt. This event, organized by Best Friends Animal Society, raises funds for animal welfare groups. There will be other great organizations Strutting with us - help us be the leaders of the pack.

We hope you'll grab a leash and your pooch and walk with us, but there are also options for those without a canine, virtual walkers, and yes, plain donations. Our goal is to raise $7,500 to spay/neuter 250 feral and stray cats. It's really easy to sign up and even to collect donations.

"Rosie" is our 60,000th cat spayed/neutered and vaccinated since FCCO's founding in 1995!

Thank you to all the volunteers, donors and caregivers who have helped these cats. This milestone, reached on March 21, 2013, means that at least 240,000 first generation offspring were prevented and are not suffering - nor giving birth - on the streets.

This landmark kitty is one of a colony of four cats in La Center, WA. She is the offspring of a roaming female that showed up in her caregiver's barn last year. Kittens were soon born. Rosie and her siblings are now spayed/neutered and vaccinated. They will continue to live as barn cats, watched over by their kind caregiver.

Help FCCO Help the Cats... Volunteer!

We are always looking for help at our clinics, with fundraising, and in the office. Right now we also have some specific positions we are seeking to fill right away in Portland.

General office volunteer– email caregivers and help with data entry and office projects.

Outreach volunteer– attend street fairs, farmer’s markets, and other events sharing information about our services with the public

Trap Depot – maintain a trap inventory at your home or business where caregivers can pick up and return humane traps.

Phone scheduling volunteer– pick up inbound calls, screen cats for eligibility for FCCO clinics, and assist callers with questions regarding feral cats and spay/neuter.

The Animal Shelter Alliance of Portland (ASAP), of which FCCO is a founding member, wants to dramatically reduce the euthanasia of cats across the Portland Oregon metro area during the next five years. This is a collective effort - we need your help, too. Are you a feral cat caregiver? Do you have a cat that needs to be spayed/ neutered? There is help! Click here to read our caregiver information and about our spay/neuter clinics.

Please help us help the cats. Follow this link and print out our flyers and keep some in your car. When you are at the store, coffee shop, vet's office, church, or any place with a community bulletin board, please post one. Remember, each caregiver you reach is another cat helped, and suffering for future litters prevented!
