Olympia's "Cat Concierge"
Oly Camp Kitties was started after observing that people experiencing homelessness often struggle to access existing spay and neuter resources for their cats. This can be due to lack of transportation, funds, or struggles with tasks such as keeping appointments. OCK acts as a "cat concierge," transporting kitties to and from spay and neuter clinics, and covering 100% of the cost of services.
Kitties are picked up the afternoon before their appointment date. They receive their own kennel, cozy towels to cuddle up in, and tender loving care at the OCK headquarters. After a restful night's sleep, they are transported to the clinic in the morning for a vet check, surgery, and vaccinations. They are then returned to their owners, with the encouragement to follow up with OCK in three weeks for a booster shot to complete the series started at the clinic.
Oly Camp Kitties also provides supplies to clients, including food, flea and deworming meds, toys, litter, litter boxes, collars, harnesses, leashes, and more. OCK holds regular outreach days at Franklin Street Harm Reduction Clinic, The Jungle Encampment, Quince Street Village, and Franz Anderson Tiny homes, in addition to delivering supplies as needed to individual clients.
