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. For more infor
mation about the Seven C’S club,
