Cat Sanctuary
and Action
We took 5 Sweet Home cats up to be fixed in Portland--a mom and her four teen offspring.
First three days of November, we took 8 cats in two trips to the FCCO. Seven of those rural Lebanon kitties were girls.
Gorgeous Calypso is finally fixed, along with over 2 dozen others from this location.

About
The Happy Cat Club is about helping cats. That's it. Pretty simple.
We have a few cats here who for various reasons never got homes or were returned way back when we did adoptions before becoming HCC. They are ancient now, and never will get homes. These are wild cats. That's our first priority, taking care of them.
HCC is not a rescue or shelter. We don't take in cats or kittens and we don't adopt out cats or kittens. We get cats fixed. It's become more and more difficult to find affordable high volume spay neuter options or options for tame owned cats not in HCC's care. I'd have thought, over the years, it would have become easier. There are too many cats and that means suffering, death, costs, to the public and to shelters, to the environment and mostly, to the cats. Fixing cats stops the suffering at its source and is extremely cost effective, the most cost effective efficient way to help cats. If you feed them, fix them.
If HCC has the bucks, we support others doing this hard work too, with vet care for cats who need it and cat food. That's if we can.
I will say it again, since during kitten season the majority of calls start out "Can you take these kittens?" HCC is not an adoption group. We sometimes can take in cats, for a night, if a rescue or shelter has agreed to take them, but we don't usually do even that. We're focused on fixing. Somebody needs to be.
That's who we are and what we do. Helping cats makes us happy and creates better communities. Join us.
Onward to Infinity!!!

Why Should You Fix Your Kitty?
Here are some reasons!
Lots of people don't fix their cats. Across our nation, shelters euthanize massive numbers of perfectly healthy kittens and cats simply because there are too many born. Shelters in our area are often overwhelmed in unwanted cats and kittens, especially during kitten season. Think about it this way. What if 3 families on just your block didn't fix their female who each then had 5 kittens. This would mean 15 families would need to adopt a kitten, just so the first litters born to 3 females would get homes. Those kittens can then start having their own litters by the time they are 4 or 5 months old. Population growth can be exponential!
Unfixed free roaming cats can get and spread terrible diseases, like Feline Aids (FIV) and Feline Leukemia (Felk). These diseases are spread through fighting and breeding.
Unfixed cats when abandoned don't have birth control access. They breed and then feral colonies start. A feral cat is the offspring of another feral cat or an abandoned house cat. They are born without human contact and grow up wild. Feral cats are exactly the same as your beloved house cat they just don't know human contact. Feral colonies are a direct result of people not fixing a house cat.
These are just a few of the reasons to fix your cat. There's also no easier way to drastically change the future, than to fix even one cat.
