This was posted on one of the missing pet pages about half hour ago.

I’m at the south entrance of Whiskey Road Warrenton and followed a medium white with brown spots Collie looking dog who was running down the road in and out of traffic. It won’t come to me and is in the bushes. I don’t know what to do, the traffic is so fast right here.

An intact male cat has a very hard life!

They fight for food, mates, and territory. They get wounds and abscesses. They lose eyes and contract diseases.

The average lifespan of an intact male cat is 2-5 very difficult years. If neutered, they can live 10 years or more.

We often hear, “It’s just a male cat.”

It’s just as important to TNR the male - both to prevent injuries and the spread of disease but also to prevent many, many kittens.

Don’t turn a blind eye to the tom cats in your neighborhood. They need your help, too.

Thank you, Trap Dat Cat, for this information.

I know this is a long shot, BUT, we need to find someone experienced with caring for preemies, especially tube feeding. There are seven kittens about 5 days old but could be split up if need be. Please text me at 503-741-7369, or Izzy at 503-717-3463. Please share!!

Stash, (in front) and Samantha (his offspring) are two of the adults rescued from the Seaside property on Wahanna. Stash is a very sweet boy who loves affection. He is looking for a quiet, adult indoor home where he can recover from 8 years of living outside with no shelter or vet care. As you can see, he and Samantha are very bonded. She is about a year old. Samantha is pretty feral unfortunately, but we are hoping there may be some wonderful person(s) out there willing to take them both together. They have been fully vetted. We will provide all guidance and assistance needed to get these two set up for acclimation and success in your home. Please message us if you are interested. (Adoption application, including reference check, home visit, and adoption fee of $100 apply.)
(We are willing to consider adopting out Stash only if circumstances are right)

Four of the females rescued from the condemned property in Seaside were pregnant. One was able to be spayed. The other three, between them had 21 kittens. These 8 were born today. Mom had to have a C- section, if she had still been there, she and all kittens would have died. Thanks to the tenacious volunteers who spent weeks feeding and trapping this colony, these 21 kittens were born in a safe place and will not become feral and continue to add to the cat population in that neighborhood. However, many homes will now have to be found for these babies and their moms. It will not be easy.
Please spay and neuter your cats.

This kitty was attacked a couple of weeks ago by another, larger animal. This happened in the South Slope area of Astoria above Fultano's. Owner stated that kittens they had also were killed earlier, although unsure of cause, however very likely by another animal as well. Please keep your cats and small dogs inside or under close supervision, if at all possible, no matter where you live, but this area right now is reporting multiple missing cats. We have also been advised of possible animal abuser in that area, although that information is not verified as of now. Kitty has been surrendered to us for vet care, and will be available for adoption. If you are able to foster, please let us know.

I have become aware of a few situations lately regarding missing and/or removed cats that have been mistakenly attributed to trapping by our volunteers. First of all, these reports are false, and we are not sure how they came about. We are not currently involved in any trapping or rescue efforts. Secondly, when we are, it is nearly always at the behest of and with the permission of a property owner regarding feral or abandoned cats on their property, or someone whose cat escaped, and is ALWAYS done with the cooperation of the property owners and/or any businesses nearby. We do not just go out and look for cats to indiscriminately trap, we never have and never will, I don't care who said so. This is something we have had to deal with over the years, as I am sure most rescues and shelters do as well. We realize that information and situations can be misheard and misconstrued, and we get that, but please be careful when you make comments online, or repeat something you have heard, as misinformation only hurts our mission and, in the end, impedes our efforts to help animals.
There are many, many risks to cats and dogs outdoors, please, if you have a pet go missing do your research, learn about instinctive behaviors and what you can do to help find them, etc. and never assume that one particular thing has happened. So many pets are never found because of incomplete search efforts. Thanks for understanding.

Just a reminder that we are currently not monitoring our phone or our messages and will temporarily not be available to loan traps or carriers or provide other services that we normally do. Please reach out to the shelter or the community if you need to borrow traps or if you need assistance with found animals. There are a record number of animals being abandoned now so please do your part to help keep them safe while looking for owners and or placement. I will continue to update you as I can and thank you for everyone who is donating to help us take care of our current Fosters. Happy Fourth everyone!

We've had a request to post for anyone able and willing to try to rescue a chicken that is on the right-hand side of road before Dolphin Rd. below storage units in grassy hillside heading towards COSTCO. Not sure if this has been reported to WPD. This is all I know. We have a net to loan if need be.
