Portland docks arrived Dec. lOforTyco
Toys’ just-opened National Distribu­
tion Center in the Port of Portland’s

the shipment, coming just in time for

singled out Portland this year for his
gift-giving magic.

dence, R.I. -based Gilbane Properties
Inc. received Port of Portland Commis­
sion approval to purchase and develop
23 acres of the Port’s rivergate property
for its client, Mt. Laurel-based Tyco
Toys Inc. Tyco, one of the nation’s
largest toy dealers and second largest
toy importer, wanted the Portland loca­
tion to consolidate all its U.S. distribu­
tion operations, including those of its
Moorestown, N.J., distribution facility
(which is now being closed).
Portland was a natural choice for
Tyco; the city contains an ample amount
of first-rate industrial property near a
modern, deep-water seaport, and, it is

Stray And Abandoned Cat
Problem In Tri-Counties Critical
Cold, wet and hungry they aim­
lessly wander the streets in metro-area
communities by the hundreds. They re
cats. Cals that have no homes, no one to
feed them or let them in when winter
weather strikes hard like it did yester­
day. Each day the Oregon Humane
Society takes calls from dozens of
people who want toknow what they can
do.
The stray and feral cat problem in
the area is becoming increasingly seri­
ous and it’s the cold weather that makes
people realize just how bad it is. Yester­
day a cat seeking warmth and shelter
had to be extricated from the fan belt of
a car. And this cat was a family pet let
outside for a brief period.
Sharon Harmon Operations Direc­
tor at the Oregon Humane Society sug­
gests that people thump on the hood of
their car before starting the engine.
Harmon also said that anti-freeze is
particularly dangerous to pets. Its sweet
taste attracts animals, but it is a deadly
poison.
Humane education and pet owner
Christmas Tree
Recycle
Beginning Saturday, December 26,
1992 and through Tuesday, January 12,
1993, the Multnomah County Inverness
Jail Work Crews, in partnership with
the Multnomah County Parks Depart­
ment, will recycle your Christmas tree
for three (3) cans of food. All canned
food received will be donated to Snow-
Cap for their distribution.
Bring your tree and three cans of
food to the Inverness Jail parking lot,
11540 NE Inverness Drive, (located
just west of 122nd avenue between
Sandy Blvd. and Marjne Drive). The
trees will be ground up and the resulting
chips will be used on trails and garden
beds in the parks maintained by Mult­
nomah County.
The recycling station will be open
everyday including Sundays and New
years Day from 8:00 AM until 3:00 PM.
(Any questions,call Sergeant Bob Paine
at 248-5039)
responsibility are two of the Society’s
major goals, Harmon said. Ifwedidn t
have a serious cat overpopulation prob­
lem, people wouldn’t look out their
windows and see hungry cats waiting
for a handout.” The best way to solve
the problem of stray and feral cats is for
each person to realize that they arc
either contributing to the problem or
they are helping to solve it. “Spaying or
neutering the family feline is the criti­
cal element,” she said.
The Oregon Humane Society will
do everything possible to help people
who find stray cats. “ Individuals are
welcome to bring strays to us, we’ll do
the best we can for the animal. Unfor­
tunately, our biggest limitation is hold­
ing space,” Harmon said. Anyone miss­
ing a cat should call the Society at 285-
7722 ext. 200.
Multnomah County Animal Con­
trol provides a full range of animal
protection services, said Director Mike
Oswald. “People can always call on us
to help with animal problems.”
Aside from spaying or neutering
their cats, the next best thing a cat
owner can do is provide it with an ID tag
so that if it becomes lost they can be
reunited. The Oregon Humane Society ,
provides free ID tags upon request.
“ Multnomah County also requires the
licensing of cats,” Oswald said.
While Multnomah County Animal
Control can assist people with stray cat
problems. Washington and Clackamas
Counties do not provide services for
cats. Harmon said that residents of those
counties should contact their county
commissioners and request services that
will include cats.
The Humane Society reminds all
pet owners that during cold wcathei
animals who live largely outdoors re­
quire additional food, a dry sleeping
area out of the wind and frequent check­
ing to make sure that their water has noi
frozen. The Society is still seeking usee
dog houses for people who need sheltei
for their dogs. People who have dog
houses to donate can drop them off a
the Shelter located at 1067 NE Colum
bia Blvd. in Portland.
