The Scratching Post — Local services in Silverton

This is an amazing shelter. They go above and beyond to do everything and anything humanly possible to save and rescue as many cats and kittens as possible. Everyone that works/volunteers here takes wonderful care of these felines and gives so much love and time to these precious furbabies. Their goal is to save as many cats, kittens and pregnant cats as they can so they can give each kitty an opportunity to find their furrever family. They work tirelessly, to care for every cat they can. The Scratching Post has been around for over 30 year's and they have a great reputation within the Veterinarian community and the public. Anytime they are in dire need of help for food, litter, other supplies or even monetary donations they ask the public for help and people step up and come through. Because of this they are able to keep going and often offer lifesaving care to some of the cats in desperate need. It's a privilege to be able to have such an organization within our city. Because of them thousands of kitties have been rescued and had the opportunity to be given a life and adopted into their furrever family. They are a true blessing to our community and they are definitely Angels to all of the kitties they have rescued and continue to rescue over the years. I pray that God continues to bless everyone that works/volunteers at the Scratching Post. Thank you for caring so much for the...

I really appreciate this organizing/shelter. I went to adopt a cat there and they let me know about a health condition the cat had, however later down the line I found out there was a small percentage of the condition being contagious to other cats ( I have another at home). They went above and beyond to make the adoption work. However I decided I wasn’t comfortable with it so they still worked with me and I was able to adopt another kitty that worked for me best. Great people and they truly do care for their cats. The application process was fine, just give them a few days to respond, if anything just took about 3 days to hear something back and set an appointment. The adoption fee is 85$. They’re knowledgeable about their cats and are honest and transparent about what they know about the cats personality, health and history.

My only suggestion is that they should post more of their cats on Facebook or petfinder! They have many unique cats waiting to be adopted. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you...

I really respect The Scratching Post cat shelter.! They certainly have the kitties best interest at heart. The executive director, Ryan Collins, always goes out of his way to do the best for his “family.” They have wish list Wednesday, where they identify to the public what their needs are for the shelter that particular week. That enables the community to participate in donating relevant supplies. They also have various community “get togethers” to encourage donations and activities. But one of the most important functions is the education they participate in — like spay/neuter. They pass on info as to where/when these activities take place. Any ”specials” are passed on so the community is aware and can take advantage. This is a wonderful...
