CAT and Washington County Animal Services Team Up to Provide Supplies to Pet Owners of Flood Ravaged Vernonia - December 2007
Responding to a request from the American Red Cross, in early December 2007, Washington County Animal Services in Hillsboro and the Cat Adoption Team in Sherwood rallied to provide dog and cat food as well as crates and other supplies for the pet owners of Vernonia.
Flood waters of the Nehalem River are retreating and residents of this small community are just beginning to mop up and assess the damage. Vernonia was cut off from the rest of the state earlier in the week as torrential rains and winds not only caused flooding but landslides blocking access to this Columbia County town.
CAT provided over three pallets of dog and cat food as well as medium-sized crates and thousands of pet food bowls for the Red Cross to distribute to pet owners affected by this disaster. Washington County Animal Services gathered all the supplies and transported them to the staging area for the Oregon Trail Chapter of the Red Cross.
