About Me

Portland, Gresham, Oregon
Catink.org is a public benefit nonprofit that takes a broad view toward cat abandonment. Most people know cat abandonment as someone moving away and leaving the cat behind or not spaying a "mom" and dumping her and the kittens along the slough. Catink.org considers cat abandonment to include putting money into a vacation rather than a life saving veterinary procedure or going out with human friends but not finding the time for interactive play with kitty. We believe that all cats deserve the same attention as the most loved human child. They deserve to live in an environment that is free from toxic synthetic chemicals. They need wholesome natural food free from fillers. They need to be understood and respected as individuals.
