Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon

What an amazing organization!!! This organization is devoted to helping the feral cat population. They assist with trapping, spay and neuter the cats, vaccinate, and treat for parasites before releasing them. They also provide spay and neuter clinics for those who have trouble affording these services.
If you have a colony of feral cats do the following:
1. Go online and fill out the caregiver application.
2. Go into the clinic and pick up traps. (These make handling the cats easier, and decrease the stress on the cat.)
3. Make an appointment for bringing the cats in.
4. Bring in the cats and let the staff care for the cats.
5. The staff will go over how to release the cats safely and how to tell if there is a problem after the surgery.
I’d encourage everyone to donate to this organization. It prevents overpopulation and unwanted cats.
Besides money the clinics are also looking for other donations like newspapers, towels, batteries etc. (You can call and see what they are needing at the time.)

They neutered and treated a feral cat on my property. Before Feral Cat treated him, he was ragged, nervous and skinny. Now he’s a different cat. He’s gained weight, has a beautiful silky black coat, is friendlier and playful. They saved his life, and I will be forever thankful.

The feral cat coalition is one of the most amazing groups there is! They are a well organized, efficient and big hearted group. They are effecting pet euthanasia at the source, which is to prevent unwanted pets by spaying and neutering current cats and therefor reducing the population through prevention rather then euthanasia.
I have had a great experience with the Feral Cat Coalition, from picking up cat cages, to getting cats in my feral colony fixed. Every time I see a cat with a tipped ear I can’t help but smile, knowing that they will get to continue living their lives as an independent being without reproducing.
The feral cat coalition makes it very easy to get your strays fixed.
They are very accommodating, knowledgeable, creative and will help you in whatever way you need!

A couple years back now a stray mama cat had 5 kittens under our deck. We were going on vacation and only had a vague sense that there were kittens somewhere and weren’t able to deal with it until our return.
We came home to our neighbor delivering two of the five kittens (in a cage no less) to our doorstep.
Wth?
Aren’t these yours, she said? Innocently.
Um no. Our cat lives indoors and is spayed.
But hubby set out to get the other three. He lured two more with tuna cans and string late at night. He was persistent.
The fifth? Well the neighbor lady caught that one and intended to keep it. Hubby was distraught that it was separated from its siblings (he saw them as a set) and talked her into relinquishing him to us. The primary argument being we would pay vet bills.
We set about getting them all vaccinated and fixed. Our fabulous vet at Bethany Family Pet Clinic advised us to catch mama cat and take her to Feral Cat Coalition to be fixed, then release her back into our neighborhood. That way she’d protect her turf from more strays and not make more babies.
For $ 30 they (all volunteers, vets and helpers) loan you a trap, give advice, then you bring kitty in to an appointment at their place near Legacy Emmanuel, drop her off (let them do their thing) pick her back up and keep her overnight for observation, then let her go.
We called her Cookie. Totally feral and not friendly. We still see her around. She acknowledges us as the ones who kidnapped her. We see the kitty’s dad around too.
He belongs to the neighbor. The one who brought us the kittens. The kittens? Troublesome adolescents and yes, we still have them.
Don’t ask.
Hubby had a long nonspecific talk with the neighbor lady (he’s pedantic like that) about people who dont neuter their pets and how irresponsible they are.
Pretty sure the daddy cat got fixed after that. We havent seen any more kittens.
Do consider taking strays to the FCC. It was a little bit of hassle but does a lot of good.

Very organized and helpful with solid information. Accommodating to both cats and people that want to help cats. An inspiration to the cause of stray and feral cats.

I’ve volunteered here for about a year. In fact, most people here are volunteers, including the vets, who have big hearts and want to help these animals. There is a suggested of $ 30/​cat but the most important thing is to get the cats in, even if you can’t do that much. They will spay/​neuter feral and stray cats, also give them flea medicine, and check their overall health. if there is something extra they can do for a cat that day, they will at no charge. You pick up your cats the same day you drop them off. The only things is you must keep feeding them which is humane and will keep other cats from moving into the area. If you have a cat issue in your neighborhood, this is the place to come.

The Feral Cat Coalition is close to my heart. This group of veterinarians and cat lovers provides compassionate discount spay and neuter services for feral and stray cats. In a world filled with over-​populated and over-​burdened shelters and under-​educated and irresponsible pet owners, these guys are a godsend.
Beginning with mobile spay/​neuter clinics and now with an actual free-​standing clinic, the FCC provides the following services for only a minimal (very minimal) fee:
Spay/​Neuter
Flea comb
Distemper treatment
Screening for Feline Leukemia
Ear tipping to indicate that the cat has been spayed/​neutered
These kitty angels provide these services to people who are feeding feral or stray cats, with the dual goals of bringing comfort and health to the current generation of feral/​stray cats and to prevent future generations of feral/​stray cats. This is a real problem, and the FCC is selflessly trying, one cat at a time, to put an end to it.
If you have feral or stray cats living in your neighborhood, do the right thing. Make sure they are spayed/​neutered, or like me, you’ll end up with a fresh batch of kittens near you come spring time. Contact the FCC to learn more, or simply to show your support for their efforts at making this world a better place for us and our little furry feline friends.
