How to help the kitties this holiday season
Looking for ways to give to the kitties at House of Dreams this holiday season?
Here are some easy ways to support the shelter.
- Check out our wish list at Amazon.com. Scroll through the list, make your selections, check out as usual, and Amazon will ship the item to us!
- If you prefer a direct donation, go to the "donate" button on our website (find it in the upper left hand corner), click the button, and follow the directions.
- Do you live in the Portland area? If so, swing by Pet Samaritan Clinic and pick up some toys for the cats and dogs in your life. House of Dreams volunteers made doggy pull toys and catnip toys to sell at the clinic, with all proceeds going to the care of our kitties. They may even have a few House of Dreams 2013 calendars left!
Pet Samaritan is located at 2519 East Burnside, Portland. - Getting a new car for the holidays? House of Dreams partners with Volunteers of America for a car donation program, with proceeds from the sale of your old car benefitting the shelter. Learn more about the program here.
- Looking for a gift for the kitty lovers in your life? How about a House of Dreams' Angel Program sponorship? For $35 you or someone you know can become a special angel to a special kitty. You'll receive a photo of "your" cat and a letter of introduction; if the sponsorship is a gift, we can mail the sponsorship materials to the recipient. Learn more here.
Need more info about ways to support the shelter? Give us a call at 503.262.0763 or email us at kittydreamspdx@gmail.com and we'll be happy to help.

Free spay/neuter for feral cats the week of Oct 14
From the Feral Cat Coalition:
The
Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon will celebrate National Feral Cat Day
(Oct. 16) with free spay/neuter clinics during the third week of
October. Please help spread the word so we can help as many cats as
possible!
Below is the basic information about the free spay/neuter clinics.
WHO: Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon
WHAT: Free spay/neuter clinics honoring National Feral Cat Day
WHEN: Clinics held on Oct. 14, 16, 18 and 19
WHERE: FCCO’s North Portland facility
CONTACT: Call 503-797-2606 or visit www.feralcats.com to schedule an appointment.
WHY: Trap-Neuter-Return
programs humanely reduce the population of homeless stray and feral
cats. Cats who live outdoors are humanely trapped and brought to an FCCO
clinic to be evaluated, spayed or neutered and vaccinated. In the past
12 months, FCCO has spayed/neutered more than 6,500 feral and stray cats
— and helped 26% more cats from the Portland-metro area than last year.
Help us spread the word about the importance of helping feral and stray
cats in our community.

Beads for Cats! A fundraising project for House of Dreams
The knotted
strand necklaces are made by House of Dreams volunteer Mollie from donated beads.
100% of proceeds from their sale go to House
of Dreams Cat Shelter.
Mollie's
story:
"Several years ago, I inherited a box of beads from my mother-in-law. Though I loved them, I didn’t have a clue what to do with them. I put them away with a promise I would take a beading class… someday. Well, five years later, I still hadn’t learned the first thing about beading.
One day when I was fostering a sick cat, I saw the box sitting on the shelf. I’d always loved the knotted strands passed on to me by my grandmother. With the help of kitty on my lap, I grabbed some embroidery thread, a handful of beads, and began.
I found I loved beading this way, but soon the box was filled with necklaces instead of beads. If I sold them, I could give the money to House of Dreams cat shelter, but how was I going to replenish my stock? A beader friend had some extras she was happy to donate to my cause. That’s how Free Beads for Cats was born."
Mollie's necklaces are available at our various fundraising events, including the Pretty Kitty Holiday Craft Bazaar (Saturday, Nov 10 at Tabor Space).
A Bead Source, 15831 SE Division,
Patti Smith West, 3746 NE 42nd St.
Beads wanted: glass, natural stone and ceramic; large seed beads. Nothing over ½” and no extremely large or tiny holes.
Questions? Call 502.262.0763.
