Introducing our Cat of the Week - Granny Smith!

This 10-year-old girl is full of s***k, personality and loves to explore. She loves affection on her terms - head scritches and gentle back pats are good. If you touch her belly, she'll let you know right away that's a no-go.

Granny Smith is social and wants to be part of whatever is going on. She's constantly at the door of her room in the shelter, chirping at us and asking for affection. At home, she likes to open cabinets and loves her wet food and Churu.

She would do well with someone who's regularly at home, like a retiree or remote worker who can give her plenty of attention. She needs a home without young children and likely without other pets, though our shelter workers could talk you through slow introductions with other older cats.

She's had bloodwork and is in good health with no known medical issues.

Our shelter staff are choosing a special kitty to highlight every week. Interested in meeting Granny Smith? Visit us from 11-6, Monday-Saturday (closed 1-1:30 for lunch), or fill out an adoption application at sfof.org.

Thank you so much to Soup Squad for having us out on Saturday! We provided at least 100 lbs. of dog and cat food to feed pets at Marion Square Park (including Valkyrie, pictured here). We also talked to several people about spay/neuter resources.

We're thankful for all of our community partners who are able to distribute pet food that we can't use in the shelter, including Courtney Place, the Keizer Food Bank and Soup Squad. Thank you for helping us keep pets fed in our community!

Help working cats get a fresh start!

We have an immediate need for foldable dog crates to help barn cats transition to new homes. Unfortunately, we can't take used donations for this one - please check our wishlists for specifics.

You bought us so much Churu last week, and we wanted to show you where it all goes with a little kitty ASMR.

This is Ham Hock. He's 4 months old and had surgery this week to correct the placement of his hip and leg bones following an injury - like being hit by a car.

This little champ is recovering well, and giving him a Churu treat helps him relax while our staff examine his surgical incisions and check on his healing. That makes veterinary care less stressful on kitties and easier on our staff.

Thank you for making it all possible!
