Chelan Valley Feral Cat Project
Accepting Donations
In a perfect world, all cats and kittens are fed, may be spayed or neutered at two to four pounds, and are cared for by loving families. In the world we live in here in the Lake Chelan Valley, far too many stray or ‘community’ cats are overrunning the food supply and suffering from disease, starvation, and injuries. This season we are asking our community for the most sustainable gift we can give the feral cat population: TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return). With temperatures dropping, urgent medical attention and population control are our top priority. Every dollar donated ensures a cat receives pain medication, vaccinations and the vital surgery needed to stop the cycle of suffering.

Tis the Season for Connection Campaign
Month of December
Only7Seconds for the month of December is running a “Tis the Season for Connection Campaign”. This is an opportunity to directly support our efforts to create more connected community and youth to a fundraising campaign. But even more than a fundraising effort, we know that the holidays can be especially lonely for some individuals, so this is a great opportunity to remind those in your life that you care about them and intentionally connect. Use any public resources on Only7Seconds website or some of our merchandise to remind others that they are not alone and that you “see” them!
