Times are tough all around. Tough economic times often translate to very hard times for the animals out there. Remember, times could get even worse, so if your pet is not now fixed, get that pet fixed now to avoid problems and more costs and more suffering down the line. Tight money affects animals. People dump them at higher rates and donations to shelters and spay/neuter efforts can also drop. Don't forget the animals, is all I'm saying. I have some victims of sad situations here now, waiting for great homes. And, the added benefit for you can be the overlooked alternative energy source---CAT HEAT! Add adopted cat heat to your bed tonight! I recommend the heat source Munchy, whose purr machine can be set to only one speed---"HIGH". Munchy was dumped along a road in Linn County.

If You Feed Them, Fix Them

Feral Night Cat Trapper Rescue is dedicated to spaying and neutering feral, untamed cats and releasing them back to their environment to live out their lives without contributing to the stray cat population. 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 can help people who want to neuter feral cats in the mid valley area. If you need help, please email me at: bluestray@yahoo.com and explain your situation. Please include information regarding the location of the cats, who owns the property they reside on, the number of cats and kittens and which aspects of the TNR process you will help with. 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.

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.

Feral Night Cat Trapper Rescue wants YOU to FIX your PETS! Every spay prevents an incredible amount of suffering. A great big THANK YOU and purrs from the kitties to a trio of Linn Benton Community college employees who brought me bags of cat food and cat litter. This was incredibly helpful and also an encouragement to me. Helping cats can be extremely demanding lonely work Thank you to Midori of Ridgefield, WA, for her continued support. Midori adopted Little Miss Sunshine awhile back and continues to support my cat work. Thank you to Shefali of California, also, for her continued support and encouragement. Thank you to Lynn and Kathy of Philomath, for a gift basket of cat supplies, some items donated by Densons Feed Store in Corvallis and Animal Crackers Pet Store, in Corvallis. Thank you to Jeanne, clear from the east coast, who sent me cat food and Revolution, by mail! Thank you to the Cat Blogospherees who are doing online auctions to help special needs cats, like the Lebanon situation cats. Thank you to Bev of Newburg and Melanie of Sublimity who have donated to the gift card fund, so injured or sick cats can be seen by the vet.

Thanks also to Diane, who donated ten vaccines, to help vaccinate the Soft Boys and other cats and kittens here, waiting for homes. I'm sure I've left someone out. I didn't do so intentionally, that's for sure! Shelter wish list: MONEY to fix more cats. High quality cat food. Strongid and Droncit for worming. Advantage or Revolution for flea treatment. Ink cartridges. Wood pellet fuel, to use for cat litter. Volunteers! to foster cats, socialize cats, create and post adoption fliers. |

I am a cat trapper, a lone operator, a lover of cats. I am an obsessive relentless propenent of spay/neuter. I trap feral cats in humane live traps so they can be spayed or neutered and returned to their caretakers. Although I never intended to do rescue, I have come upon situations of need from which I cannot turn away. And so, I often find myself fostering and taming feral kittens or strays who badly need chances at loving homes. I call my rescue "Feral Night" because I am a lover of strays and ferals and there is nothing I like more than hanging out with ferals in the black of night beneath the shining stars. I believe one individual can make a difference. I identify with strays. I once lived homeless along the banks of the Willamette River. A colony of cats became my family and provided me love and acceptance. Now I help out strays whenever I can. I do not take in cats from the general public. |

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. |
