“Cascades humane society ("chs")adopted more that 1,000 animals into their forever homes in the year ended june 30, 2022. In addition to adoptions, chs provides the community with unique services. Our low cost spay and neuter services (snap) for owned animals means pets are being sterilized that may not have been otherwise. This not only prevents unwanted litters of puppies and kittens, but it also keeps the owned animal healthier and happier. We also offer services at the time of surgery such as vaccines, microchips, and disease tests. The forgotten feline program (a tnr program) assists kind-hearted people care for the free- roaming or feral cats. We will spay and neuter the cats and give each a rabies vaccine. Lastly, we are proud to offer a pet food pantry that feeds the pets of families who are going through financial hardships, distributing more than 6,000 pounds of food this year. This keeps pets in their homes where they belong because a family does not need to make a difficult decision between feeding their pet and paying their bills. During the year ended june 30, 2022, chs spayed or neutered more than 1,000 owned animals and nearly 400 cats through our forgotten feline program. In addition, chs spayed or neutered nearly 1,000 animals prior to adoption.”
