Feral Cat Coalition Of Oregon

What Feral Cat Coalition Of Oregon does

Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon (FCCO) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1996 and headquartered in Portland, Oregon, that delivers donation-based spay/neuter, vaccination, and education programs for feral and outdoor stray cats. Services are provided through a single clinic at 4522 S Water Ave, Portland, operating Tuesday through Friday, with appointments required. The organization's primary program is Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), supplemented by the Kitten Caboose program (transferring tame kittens to Oregon Humane Society for adoption), the Cats Safe at Home outreach campaign, and HQHVSN (High-Quality High-Volume Spay/Neuter) workshops for veterinarians. Over 30 years of operation, FCCO has served more than 150,000 cats and describes itself as the leading feral cat spay/neuter program in Oregon and one of the largest in the nation.

FCCO's business model is entirely donation-based, with no fixed fees for services. Revenue streams include individual donations, a monthly MEW giving program, workplace giving, donor-advised funds, gifts of stock, IRA charitable rollovers, vehicle donations, estate planning through the Purrpetual Partners program, branded merchandise, and an annual Explore Oregon raffle. Outreach and donor engagement are conducted through the feralcats.com website, a quarterly Street Tails newsletter, a monthly WebTails e-update, downloadable flyers and brochures in multiple languages, and community events including the annual Catio Tour co-hosted with Bird Alliance of Oregon, the Cat Video Festival, and other local events. The organization is geographically restricted to Oregon and SW Washington, referring inquiries from outside the area to Alley Cat Allies.

The organization's value proposition centers on providing accessible, specialized veterinary care for feral and stray cats that would otherwise lack access, while keeping cats in their communities through TNR rather than removal. Operating with 11-50 employees, FCCO functions as a community-led nonprofit with strong implicit switching costs: caregivers, volunteers, partner organizations, and donors are deeply embedded in a 30-year community network. Strategic partnerships include Oregon Humane Society (Kitten Caboose), Bird Alliance of Oregon (Catio Tour and Cats Safe at Home), Spay & Save (referrals for income-qualifying pet cat services), and Alley Cat Allies (out-of-area referrals). All services and programs are funded by donations, with contributions being tax-deductible.
