Jade

Jade was born outside after someone moved away and left their cat behind in an apartment complex. She has tested positive for FIV. All of her litter mates died.

Help End Animal Abandonment Now!

Each year, approximately ten thousand healthy cats are euthanized in Portland alone. For cats in particular, the reason is most often overpopulation. There simply isn't enough space in our shelters to accommodate the thousands of cats that are found "stray" or surrendered by their owners when no longer convenient. Pregnant stray cats are dumped in neighborhoods or in the country, and euthanized at shelters during kitten season because the resources are not available to accommodate the kittens. The list of tragic reasons why healthy animals are killed goes on and on, but the core problem remains overpopulation. The cost to the community is staggering. Millions of dollars are spent each year euthanizing and disposing of our unwanted pet population, in addition to responding to constant complaints of nuisance, strays or dead animals.

Please be a responsible guardian of your pets (and your neighbor's pets, if necessary) and have them spayed or neutered. Cats and dogs should be spayed or neutered prior to sexual maturity which typically occurs around six months of age.
