Feature The Clackamas Print Wednesday, November 6,1996 Club rescues cats on campus, gives them homes Karin Redston Feature Editor The Clackamas Community College Campus Cat Colony Club (The Seven C’s Club) is in the pro cess of restarting its spaying and neutering of feral (wild) cats on campus. “The purpose of the club is to trap, spay, neuter and vaccinate feral cats on campus. We also set up colonies where the cats have a feeding station, shelter and a per son to feed them,” said Diane Dennis, a club member. The feeding stations are de signed so raccoons and opos sums cannot access them. The shelters are insulated to protect the cats from cold weather and rain. New cats have been spotted on campus. With the onset of cold weather, new shelters and feeding stations willbe needed. The Seven C’s Club also sup ports other colonies in the Clacka mas County area as well as people who need help with feral cat situa tions. “As a college club, we are able to receive donations of food from local pet food distributors,” said Dennis. One cat named Pippen, who was rescued in ClackamasCounty, had an arrow lodged in her and required major surgery. She is now a member of an Oregon City household. Most of the feral cats that can be tamed are placed into households; those that cannot be are released into a cat colony. Volunteers who are interested in helping set up cat colonies or donating food are welcome. Colonies are being planned for the campus and in the Clacka mas County area.
