Both Plumas County Animal Shel- ter and Plumas Animal Wel- fare Society have lowered their adoption fees in an ef- fort to find homes for the glut of felines currently crowding their facilities. PAWS routinely rescues cats from the shelter if they are at risk of being put down. But the PAWS facility, known as the Cathouse, is full. Without that outlet, as the county shelter fills up, of- ficials say they will have no choice but to begin euthaniz- ing animals. Kathy Nixon, director at PAWS, said the Cathouse has about 26 cats, from unfixed kittens right through to adult cats that have spent their en- tire lives at the shelter -- leaving no room for incoming animals. Fiends of the Plumes Coun- ty Animal Shelter, a nonprof- it support group, says 10 adoptable cats have already been destroyed. The group has until the end of the month to find homes for about three dozen cats at risk of euthanasia. PAWS recently dropped its adoption fee from $60 to $25 to help increase adoptions. The fee pays for spaying and neu- tering, shots, a feline leukemia test and other vet- erinary care the cats might have needed. Owners receive a card in their adoption pack- et showing proof of vaccina- tion and vet care. For unaltered felines too young to alter, the fee remains $60, although the new owners can get a $50 rebate with proof of spay/neuter. The county facility usually requires a $10 fee and $50 re- fundable spay/neuter deposit to adopt a cat. To encourage adoptions, the shelter is offer- ing fee-free fixed cat adop- tions this month, subsidized by Friends. The animals are spayed/neutered, and Friends will pay for the ser- vice later for young cats that have not yet been fixed. Friends plans to staff the shelter so it will be open sev- en days a week in November. (See sidebar for details.) Vol- unteers will also be in the shelter nightly from 5:30 to 7 p.m. for cleaning. The public is welcome to come in, look and adopt during those hours. PAWS founde Stephanie Leaf attributed the difficulty of finding homes for the ani- mals to the bad economy. She said, "It's hard for people to care for the animals they have, let alone take on addi- tional animals." Friends said many of the cats at the shelter are "owner released people are mov- ing and can't/won't take the animal with them or more likely the cat had kittens and now everyone is deposited in the shelter." But the root of the problem, said the group, is the "nonex- istent and much-needed countywide plan to get ani- mals spayed and neutered." Leaf said the community has been "an enormous sup- port" for the 12-year-old PAWS nonprofit. While she didn't want to discourage monetary dona- tions, what PAWS needs most 'right now are volunteers. She said it's hard to find volun- teers who can make the regu- lar time commitment re- quired for the sometimes physically demanding job. Leaf said cats make won- derful companions and now is the time to adopt given the wide selection available.

"The Handbells are back and they will be playing during our annual tree lighting ceremony. They are really wonderful and don't get enough credit for the work they do (and) their love of the bells."

White said there are more than 300 names of loved ones who have passed to be read. Between now and the cere- mony, Sierra Hospice is sell- ing "perpetual light" orna- ments at the, Chester branch of Plumas Bank. White said this program has been in existence since 1986 wittt no increase in price. Ornaments with one- time remembrances cost $10. Ornaments with three names cost $25. For a perpetual light that will be lit every year, the cost is $100. "We do keep a running list of those who buy lights over the years. When they reach, or are very close to $100, we make the change from annual to perpetual," she said. She also said, "The remem- brances are very open to the community -- you can even buy a light in memory of a beloved pet."
