Help the Animals Affected by the Fires in Eastern Washington
From Pasado’s Safe Haven Animal Shelter and Rescue: “Our state is burning. These organizations are helping the animals and their families in the Eastern Washington wildfires, or are on call for tactical animal rescue during disasters like these. Right now, what they need most is cash support so they can step in where it's needed most. Please consider donating to:
“Our deepest condolences go out to all of the families, communities, and animals impacted by the wildfires. You are our neighbors, and we are grieving with you. Thank you to everyone who has stepped in to help, all the first responders, and the firefighters battling this enormous blaze. Community takes care of one another.”
From MEOW Cat Rescue: Food and Supply Drive Alert, Sat, Aug. 15, 11-4, in the MEOW parking lot, 10600 NE 68th St., Kirkland. “As many of you are aware, our state is currently being ravaged by wildfires on many fronts, leaving humans and animals displaced and challenged for a means to have their basic needs met. The Sinlahekin Fire in Okanogan County has burned approximately 127,000 acres of land and has impacted hundreds of residents and their pets, most notably around the areas of Tonasket and Loomis, WA. This fire currently stands as Washington's second largest with less than 30% containment. MEOW Cat Rescue will be collaborating with a friend of MEOW located in that area by collecting food and supplies to benefit the people and pets displaced by the Sinlahekin fire. Each donation will receive a tax receipt for your records as well as our endless gratitude.”
MEOW is looking to procure the following items:

What's New at Feral Cat Spay/Neuter Project www.feralcatproject.org
Call for Carriers!
Spaying and neutering 8,000 cats means a lot of cat carriers come through the doors at FCSNP. They can always use donations of carriers for clients who cats in carriers which are less than ideal for cats to recover in after their spay or neuter surgery: a carrier that breaks, one that’s too small for a big cat to stretch out in, or one large carrier containing a litter of kittens who need to be separated while they wake up from anesthesia, for example. Clients who need carriers are charged a small transfer fee so they can keep the carrier and have a safe method for transporting their cat the next time they need to do so.
If you’d like to donate one or more carriers but don’t have them on hand, try looking for them at thrift stores rather than spending full price. Nextdoor and local Buy Nothing groups are other possibilities. You might even want to check with your friends or your vet to see if they have any carriers to donate!
FCSNP can use hard-sided carriers in any size appropriate for a cat. (14" x 14" x 24" is about as large as is practical.) You can drop them off at FCSPN's Lynnwood location Monday through Thursday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., or email the Renton clinic at rentonadmin@feralcatproject.org to arrange a drop-off time there.

Become a MEOW Guardian Angel: A "Guardian Angel" is a person who cares deeply for an adult cat or cats, but isn't in the position to adopt them. This person pre-pays the adoption fee so that when someone is interested in adopting a cat or cats, the fee is waived. At any given time, MEOW has many adult cats who have Guardian Angels, blessed by the person who wants them to find a home, there will be no adoption fee.
Vouchers for Free Public Spay/Neuter Surgeries Available through MEOW: Thanks to grant funds received, MEOW continues to provide needed spay/neuter surgery support to those in our community. Funds are available for dogs, feral or free-roaming cats, cats belonging to anyone needing financial assistance, and cats who qualify for their Toms & Moms program. If you know someone who could use their help, please have them call the shelter (425-822-6369) or email MEOW at spayneuter@meowcatrescue.org
