Faced with a major influx of cats from the public, Oregon Humane is cutting adoption fees by half for all cats six years and older through Sunday, April 30.
“If the rainy days and overcast skies are getting you down, it may be time to bring a furry ray of sunshine into your life,” said Sharon Harmon, chief executive officer of Oregon Humane. “Mature cats are too often overlooked because of the demand for kittens. But these older felines can make the best of companions.”
In the last week, an unusually high number of cats have been surrendered to Oregon Humane from people no longer able to care for them. Oregon Humane currently has 64 cats available for adoption (about half of these are six years or older). Another 62 cats are receiving care at the shelter and should be available in the near future.

The special discount offer reduces the usual $15 fee for an adult cat to $7.50. The adoption special runs from Wednesday, April 26, through the end of the day on April 30.
Every cat adopted from Oregon Humane is spayed or neutered and comes with a microchip ID, collar and tag, initial vaccines, courtesy veterinarian exam, 30 days of free PetPlan health insurance for Oregon residents and plenty of post-adoption support.
Oregon Humane is located at 1067 NE Columbia Blvd. in Portland (directions). Shelter hours are 10 am–7 pm Sunday through Wednesday, and 10 am–9 pm Thursday through Saturday. For more information, call (503) 285-7722.
