Proceeds from Painting with Paws classes will directly support important services at CHS such as our Forgotten Felines program. To help prevent the overpopulation of feral (or wild) cats, Cascades Humane Society offers our Forgotten Feline program to Jackson County residents. The Forgotten Felines Program is a management plan in which feral cats in Jackson County are humanely trapped, evaluated, vaccinated against rabies, and sterilized by a veterinarian. The cats are then returned to their familiar habitats under the lifelong care of a caretaker.
CHS has always offered the surgeries and rabies vaccine at an extremely low price to the public, at a fraction of the actual cost. We have relied on the generosity of the public and their donations, as well as the sale of the cat nip pillows, to help offset the expenses. Unfortunately, we find that the donations are considerably less than what would cover the costs and the program is at a very large deficit.
With that said, we do want to continue to offer this service, as it is extremely important to us to help care for the free-roaming cats of Jackson. Attending Painting for Paws will help us to fund this important program and continue it!
-Feel free to bring a small snack or refreshment to enjoy while you paint!
-This class is beginners friendly and super easy! The class will be led by Stephanie Sharp from Sharp Shoppin'. She will walk you through all the steps to create your customized sign/door hanger.
-Please dress in clothing you don't mind getting messy! A limited number of smocks will be available.
-Pets are asked to stay home for this event, thank you!
