Archer's Story...
I am Archer. I was part of a feral spay neuter program that involved one female who is wild and was allowed to be returned while we little ones were felt to be best off if a home could be found for us. I am one of the unlucky ones that was born black. It is a true statistic that black cats are less likely to be adopted and more likely to be euthanized. (Not here at Catlink) but at kill shelters. We are also typically less socialized since we do not draw the attentions of volunteers. I am alert, athletic and have a carefree attitude toward life. I need some extra care to tame a bit more but I'd love the opportunity to be a part of a family. \

About Our Rescue Group...
Catlink is a private shelter which evolved in 1998 for placing recently abandoned and young kittens found while running the only feral spay and neuter clinic in the Columbia River Gorge. We strive to maintain a family living situation for all cats and we regularly introduce dogs and young adults to the population to lessen the stress of transitioning into a new environment when they leave us to their forever home. Many times in the spring the demand is so huge that we fill all our foster homes and end up turning far to many back out to colonies with a caregiver, not the family they need and deserve.
We run entirely on volunteers NO PAID wages. NO INTAKE FEES, we help people place pets when we can but work with abandoned and ferals except on rare occasions. YES as far as I know we are the only ones who pick up sick or injured cats. Animal control doesn't, and to our knowledge they stay in the ditch until some kind person takes responsibility or someone contacts us.
Our euthanasia policy is that a cat must be deemed by a licensed veterinarian to be fatally ill or fatally injured.
