Meet Stacie, our Volunteer of
the Month for August! Stacie
started volunteering in June
2017 and has already contributed over 190 hours of service
to our shelters. As a Team
Leader, Stacie enjoys helping
train new volunteers to work
with the shelter dogs.
Stacie volunteers as a dog
walker and in the Dog Enrichment Program and finds it especially fulfilling to help the
shelter dogs work on their
manners and assist in making
them as adoptable as possible. She also finds it exciting
to take the shelter dogs to
KMTR for a Pet of the Week
television spot on Friday
mornings.
One of her favorite
aspects of volunteering is having a place away from the day
to day worries and responsibilities of life. Stacie finds being
around the dogs peaceful, fun,
and her own way to destress. She loves the chance
to make the quality of life better for the shelter¡¯s furry
warding it is to give your time to
a genuine cause that does so
much good. Stacie feels that
¡°it¡¯s such a simple thing for me
to do but makes such a big
difference and it¡¯s the most
meaningful part of my day
whenever I spend time at the
shelter. I¡¯ve also learned so
much about how to read dogs¡¯
behaviors and how to be a better owner myself.¡±
friends by cuddling them, letting them explore the world
outside of their kennel on
walks and ultimately having a
part in helping them to find
their fur-ever home. Stacie also
enjoys the aspect that ¡°the staff
and volunteers always provide
a welcoming environment at
the shelter as well, almost like
a second family, and it¡¯s so
neat to see all kinds of people
come together in support of
loving animals.¡±
From volunteering at Greenhill,
Stacie has learned how re-
Stacie graduated from Valparaiso University in 2013 and has
been working in marketing ever
since. She has lived all over the
U.S. but settled in Eugene in
January of 2017. Her boyfriend is
a soccer coach locally for many
teams. Stacie adopted her dog,
Cado, in April 2014 and he has
been her ¡°partner in crime¡± for 4
1/2 years. She has since added
Tonya, also a rescue, and hopes
to be able to foster dogs when
she has a house one day. Stacie
enjoys playing and hiking with
her dogs, reading a good book,
fitness classes, gym time and
watching Oregon sunsets.

Meet Katie Gatlin,
our Foster of the
Month for August!
Katie has been
fostering with us
for just over a year
and has already
fostered 19 kittens
for us. She is always willing to
take on whatever
types of foster kittens we have for
her, including bottle babies, and we are so grateful for the
positivity and enthusiasm she brings to our
foster team!
from this little bean who needed his bottle
every few hours to this long-legged kitten
who wanted to run, play, and investigate
everything was such a joy. He was so energetic, curious, and rambunctious (aka a kitten) but would always come back and snuggle for a kitten nap.¡±
As a foster parent, Katie most enjoys meeting and falling in love with kittens with so
many different personality types. Her most
memorable foster case was a two-week-old
kitten named Albert, whom she fostered for
nearly two months. In her own words,
¡°Seeing how much he changed and learned
So why should someone else consider fostering for Greenhill? To Katie, it¡¯s pretty obvious: ¡°I have perpetual kittens in my house ¨C
is that not the sweetest gig ever? Saying it is
easy would be a disservice, but the amount
of fun and joy it brings to my house, colleagues, and friends is amazing.¡±
Outside of Greenhill, Katie works for CASA of
Lane County, a nonprofit that advocates for
children in foster care. At the end of the day,
she comes home to a 4 year-old rescue pup
named Lucy and a 20 pound rescue cat
named Miles. Her hobbies include reading,
walking with Lucy, yoga, baseball games,
and going on adventures in the Pacific
Northwest.

Going real good! We haven't changed
his name, but we call him a variety of
nicknames. He's a cool little cat. He
hasn't been the vet yet, but I don't
have any health concerns. He is ALWAYS hungry though. He is a
scratcher, but I'm building a new
scratching post for him to redirect his
scratching. I had a good experience
at Greenhill and would do it again.
He's doing great. His name is Gizmo now. He
has been to the vet and that went well. I haven't noticed any behavior or temperament issues. I would definitely adopt again from you
guys if I was looking for another pet. He has
been around another cat and does just fine.
He has similar characteristics like the monkey from our favorite movie, The Lion King.
His face is white just like the monkey also. He
bonded very quickly with our 13 year old cat.
He gets along great with my young kids. He
plays with them until they are worn out. We
had him escape out of the bedroom while we
had him separated to do a slow introduction
to our other cat. We haven't had any behavior
issues or litter box issues. He did need to be
treated for fleas and will give a second dose
soon for fleas. He has got some of his shots
from the veterinarian. We had a great experience at Greenhill and enjoyed visiting with all
the kitties while we were waiting for our
adoption paperwork to be finalized.
She is such a blessing! She
loves to snuggle with Leon.
She¡¯s my sidekick and won¡¯t
leave my side. At first she didn¡¯t
do much of anything, though
she was always very friendly.
But now this is her house; if
somebody comes to the door
she lets them know. I trust her
off leash in the back yard; she
doesn¡¯t run off. She¡¯s really
come out of her shell a lot. We
did use the vet exam. He said
she¡¯s in great shape and didn¡¯t
see any problems at all. She¡¯s
probably a little over a year.
39 days at Greenhill!
Reba is doing well and fitting into the
family. We have a dog who is anxious
to play with her, but for now, I am taking it slowly to make sure everything
works out when I do an introduction.
I¡¯m working on teaching Reba some
tricks.
Zing (name fits him perfectly!) is a great dog
I take him to work with me, he¡¯s a great dog.
He was a little mouthy when we first got
him but we¡¯ve been working with him and
he¡¯s getting much better. He¡¯s been to the
vet, he had some worms but all clear now.
He loves to run in big circles - does his heart
good and mine too!
She's doing wonderful ! We
have 2 kids and she gets so
much attention. Demi is really
good with the kids. She is our
one and only pet right now.
We adopted her on the date
that was three years to the
day that our other cat died.
We took her to the vet and
she had an upper respiratory
issue and it's better now. She
adjusted very quickly.
They are super happy! We
changed Rudy's name to
Onyx, and George's to Spots.
They have not been to the
vet yet but will be going
soon. We have no health
concerns at all. They get lots
of attention and are lovey.
They also have lots of energy. I haven't noticed any
training or behavior issues at
all. We had a good experience with Greenhill and
would definitely do it again.
What to Do If You Find a Litter of Kittens
To help with your decision, it is
important to know that it might
take several hours for the mother cat to return, and healthy kittens can survive this period
without food as long as they are
warm. Neonatal kittens are just
as much at risk of hypothermia
Momma Cat may be off finding as they are of starvation. During
food for herself or she may be
spring and summer months,
in the process of actively mov- waiting a longer time to see if
ing her litter to another location. mom will come back is much
Try to determine if the mother is safer than during frigid winter
coming back for them, or if they months.
are truly orphaned. Stand far
away from the kittens ¡ª 35 feet
or more. If you stand too close,
the mom will not approach her
kittens. You might need to go
away completely before the
mother cat will return to attend
to the kittens. It might be several hours before the mother cat
returns ¡ª until she no longer
senses the presence of humans
hovering near her litter.
If you find a litter of kittens, first, watch and
wait! A kitten¡¯s best
chance of thriving is
with their mother.
If you need to leave before the
mother cat comes back, carefully evaluate whether the kittens are in immediate danger: Is
it raining or snowing? Are dogs
or wild animals that might harm
the kittens running loose in the
neighborhood? Does the neighborhood have kids or adults
who are likely to harm the kittens? Are the kittens located in
an area with heavy foot or car
traffic?
The mother cat offers her newborn kittens their best chance
for survival, so wait and watch
as long as you safely can, and
consult Greenhill Humane Society, 1st Avenue Shelter, or your
veterinarian before approaching
or touching the kittens.
If the mother cat returns¡
If mom returns and the area is
relatively safe, leave the kittens
alone with mom until they are
weaned. You can offer a shelter
and regular food to mom, but
keep the food and shelter at a
distance from each other. Mom
will find the food but will not accept your shelter if the food is
nearby, because she will not
want to attract other cats to
food located near her nest.
Six weeks is the optimal age to
intervene with additional care,
such as socialization, vaccination and deworming. Any time
after eight weeks of age is after
a kitten¡¯s socialization period ¨C
at that age or older, see
our Trap-Neuter-Return (spay/
neuter, vaccination, eartip, and
return to their colony). Female
cats can become pregnant with
a new litter even while they are
still nursing, so don¡¯t forget to
get the mother cat spayed or
you will have more kittens soon!
If the mother cat does not return¡
If you discover that the mom
has been hit by a car or if for
any reason it appears that she is
not coming back, then please
call Greenhill at 541.689.1503 or
1st Avenue Shelter at
541.844.1777 for further guidance before picking up the kittens.
