For those of you who are newer to our lovely area once a year I always put out a reminder. We are going into the coyote mating season. Januar and February they are extemely agressive and active. Coyotes will be on the prowl looking for food. They have been known to scale a 12ft fence with ease. Here recently two hunters found a coyote den with over 50 dog and cat collars. There's no telling how many they killed that didn't have a collar on. A coyote can literally wait in the shadows you take your little dog out for potty break and turn your head and that is how long it can take for you to lose your precious fur baby. They have adapted to being the best skilled hunters and they go into peoples backyards all the time and on front porches. All of these pictures that I am posting are coyotes with beloved cats and dogs in their mouths. This is disturbing. We live in a very rural part of town where coyotes don't really have a natural enemy in our area. Protect your dogs and cats when outside especially.

Just a winter reminder, kitten food fed to community cats helps them in surviving winter weather!

This is the lucky little girl found up at Gold Creek by some very kind folks. Unless an owner comes forward she will be scanned for microchip and we will begin her process as a foster. We cover all medical and food for all fosters and vet appointments. This includes vacations, dewormer, proper flea control, and soon an appointment to be spayed and microchiped. We work closely with other organizations for this foster program if anyone is interested in adopting or sponsoring this little doll please contact Above The Bend Animal Assistance 509-833-8391, PM us, or our PayPal account is [email protected] (please make note for Gold Creek kitty)😻 We thank you all in advance🐾💕

Dear Friends,

We hope our 2024 annual letter finds you well as we approach the end of another incredibly busy and successful year at Prevent Homeless Pets (PHP). We are excited to share with you that we expect to reach a milestone of spaying and neutering 5,000 cats and dogs by the end of this year, making a new total of 65,000 animals altered since we incorporated as a nonprofit organization in 2009!

This year's Stitch-in-Time fundraising campaign is currently underway, continuing through

February 14, 2025. Our goal this year again is $60,000 in donations, to be matched for a total of

$120,000. These funds will be used to support the continuation of our services to the community, including keeping our doors open to provide spay/neuter surgeries to community cats, stray animals, and pets of qualified low-income owners in the effort to prevent disease and the births of countless kittens and puppies that could be homeless.

If you would like to help, please visit our website to donate online to our PayPal account at www.preventhomelesspets.org, or send a check made out to Prevent Homeless Pets using the enclosed SAE. A check will go even further because no service fees are subtracted. If you would rather donate shares of stock, we are able to receive those donations as well (instructions are accessible on our website under Get Involved: Donate - Make a Gift of Stock).

If you have already donated, we greatly appreciate your contribution and thank youI PHP would also like to thank our dedicated veterinarian, Dr. Sheila Doyle, and our wonderful hard-working staff and volunteers, without whom we could not continue to do this vital work. If you would like to donate your time, another most valuable commodity, see our volunteer application under the Get Involved section of our website.

Special thanks to all the Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) groups and individuals who regularly trap feral cats and bring them at an appointed time to the clinic for spaying/neutering. Your tireless efforts are immensely appreciated in helping us to control the feral/community cat population. In addition, PHP gratefully acknowledges the grant awards received this year from the Washington Federation of Animal Care and Control Agencies, Petco love, and the legends Casino.

All of us at Prevent Homeless Pets wish you and your pets a safe and wonderful holiday season!
