Smith Street Ranch Fosters

My gosh! It's Dee and Tab Hunter before they were adopted together and became Reggie and Fordo!

When I see the photos I took of their mom, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and her four very young and vulnerable babies in the Spring of 2019, I marvel at how the babies naturally paired up while waiting for their forever homes.

Makes me a little 😹😿😽

We're beyond ecstatic to announce that the popular, dapper Mr. Man will soon move to a new foster home where he can be an indoor kitty 24/7!

Mr.'s official adoption availability date is November 18, 2020 (per Oregon law) and the hope is that his new foster home will be adopting him permanently. As in FUREVER!

The Ranch will be his caretaker for a few more days, and we will be enjoying every last second we have left with this wonderful feline.

Something WONDERFUL is happening in 2022 that greatly benefits the pets and pet lovers of Oregon, thanks to a partnership between Oregon Humane Society and Harvard Business School: A veterinarian teaching hospital!

"Scheduled to open in 2022, the Community Teaching Hospital will feature surgical and dental suites, digital radiology, ultrasound and treatment areas and offer accessible veterinary care to thousands of under-resourced clients and their pets. Services will be offered on a sliding scale with half of clients receiving subsidized care. Providing full cost, high-quality veterinary care to clients who can afford it will help generate the revenue to offset operating costs and subsidized care. By 2027, we anticipate 66,000 patient visits."

Mr. Man update! When the air reached unhealthy levels here in Portland, Oregon, our dapper gent needed to be inside 24/7. Unfortunately, he is afraid of the Ranch's resident cats so he had to stay in a (albeit large) room alone, except for my frequent and short visits. He got sad very quickly, so I asked my friend Ellen to take him in temporarily, until the air quality improved. If the current forecasts pan out, I should be able to bring him back to the Ranch tomorrow. Meanwhile, he's doing great! And, perhaps, a little chunky... 😻 #fostercat #adoptdontshop #tuxedocat
