Nearly 100 cats rescued from neglect in Klamath County will arrive at the Oregon Humane Society in Portland this afternoon. Klamath County Animal Control requested the assistance of OHS in finding homes for the cats as there are no other shelters in Oregon capable of handling such a huge influx of animals. The rescue is one of the largest pet rescues in Oregon history.
“We’re hoping to find homes for these cats as soon as possible, even if it puts a major strain on our shelter. Fighting animal cruelty in Oregon is a top priority of OHS,” said Sharon Harmon, OHS Executive Director. Harmon noted that the ability of OHS to find homes for the animals was one reason cited by the owner when the cats were voluntarily relinquished to Klamath authorities.
OHS is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, receives no tax dollars, and relies on donations to fund all our programs including humane investigations. To help these cats and their friends in need, please consider making a gift today.
