Welcome!

 Invitation to an Adoptathon! Saturday, February 18th. Noon to 3 PM

United Paws invites every animal lover to the 4H dorm at the Tillamook CountyFairgrounds on Saturday, February 18th, noon to 3 pm to meet cats and kittens for adoption.

No animal will be released to a new home on the day of the Adoptathon unless pre-approved. All potential adopters will be required to fill out an application form first as part of our screening process to protect the animals.

All cats and kittens are current with inoculations, are wormed,and receive ear mite/flea treatment. Adults are spayed/neutered. Kittens come with spay/neuter certificate. A modest adoption fee is asked which covers in part all these services.

*No animals are to be dumped at the Adoptathon. Abandoning an animal is illegal, punishable by 6 months in jail and a $2,500 fine.

United Paws 2011 Year-End Ends on a High Note!

In 2011 we adopted 211 cats and 7 dogs into loving homes. We spayed/neutered  1,024 cats and dogs for an overal total of 5,392.  In 2011, United Paws spent $81,343 to support its pet food, feral cat and foster programs, as well as veterinary costs for spay/neuter and vet emergency help! We could not do this with you. Thank you everyone for your support.

Urgent Update – 12-16-11. There is 1  cat who still needs to find a home due to a death in the family. The remaining family member was forced to move and where he went, there was no place for these very friendly beloved cats or he Tillamook Cats Need Homeswould have taken them. There is no shelter in Tillamook County for cats and all outlying shelters are full to capacity, turning folks down. Our few foster homes are overflowing as well. This remaining cat is in temporary foster,so we hope to find a loving home for him. He is neutered and current on innoculations. The other cats in temporary foster,Sweetpea and Mrs. Wiggles, were just adopted this December. The last cat is Charley.  Indoor/outdoor cat in a safe area once used for their new home.  His bio is online here under “Adopt Me.” May apply online or call our hotline 503/842-5663 for more info. All the rest of the cats have been successfully placed!!!

2010: It was a very good year

Busy. That’s the only way to describe the year 2010 for United Paws. A record year in many ways.

Despite a sour economy and a downturn in grant money, thanks to donor generosity, bequests and several successful fund-raising projects, we raised $78,471, the most in United Paws history.

It allowed us to continue our programs of spay/neutering the pets of low-income Tillamook County residents and roaming feral, abandoned and homeless cats; finding a record 201 homes for rescued cats and 17 dogs; providing emergency medical care for injured and sick cats and dogs; and providing pet food for needy residents.
