Hello!

A few weeks ago, a mama cat (probably no more than a year old herself) turned up on a neighbor’s porch and had a litter of 6 kittens. My neighbor brought them in because it was during that last bunch of 90+ degree days, and I’m helping take care of them. They’re almost 4 weeks old now, have their own room, and everyone is doing well. Unfortunately, one of the kittens developed conjunctivitis (pink eye) and it’s spread to some of the other kittens.

We have already contacted Oregon Humane, Multnomah County Animal Shelter, and Cat Adoption Team, plus a couple of the veterinarian offices I’ve gone to with my own cats. We’ve also got a call out to the Feral Cat Coalition. No one has resources for helping stray cats with non-emergency issues or spay/neuter.

Between us, we already have 6 pets (5 cats and a dog). I’ve been able to help with getting some high-protein and high-calorie food for mama cat, but we could really use help with getting veterinary care right now and then support to get all 7 strays spayed/neutered and vaccinated. We’re hoping the Feral Cat Coalition might help with that part and rehoming any kittens and mama, but we’d still need to pay a minimum of $50 per cat. They’re all friendly and will make lovely pets when they’re ready (around 8 weeks old so start of September).

All funds raised will go to getting veterinary care for any immediate needs, spay/neuter, vaccines, and supplies (litter, food, etc.). Any remaining funds will be donated to the Feral Cat Coalition or another cat-related charity.

Thank you so much for helping out!
