for them. By not selling the
animals I can be choosy.”

Mrs. Orr and supporters
of her work do their best to
keep the problem down. All
the animals are spayed or
neutered by the time they
leave her care and she bears
half the cost herself.

Even so, she seems to be
fighting a losing battle and
the number of unwanted cats
on the North Shore is higher
than it’s ever been. Lately,
Mrs. Orr has had to close her
doors to receiving any more
cats and reluctantly tell
people that she just cannot
take in any more.

She attributes the
situation to changes in
population and = ac-

commodation patterns.

“I uhink it is a case of the
many many apartments
being built where people are
moving in and are not
allowed to have an animal.
You get a dense population
of people in an area and you
are going to have a denser
population of animals.

TOO MANY CATS

“I have never had as many
cats as I have now and we

are at a crisis level in North
Vancouver.”

“It is hard to tell people to
take them to them vet and
have them put down
properly as that is the only
answer. You can't just leave
them on the street.

“It is hideous for us to live
around here and have a
whole bunch of animals
hanging around sides of
apartment blocks with no
one to feed them. so
everyone should have their

animals spayed and
neutered.”
About 500 animals pass

through Mrs. Orr's care
every year, at a cost of about
$1,000 a month for feeding.
neutering and other medical
expenses.

A group of volunteers heip
her raise the money by
holding bazaars but she says:
“Funds are always needed to
continue this work .”

Right now she is looking
for someone to help her take
calls regarding the animals,
as well as her usual
requirements of income and
people willing to look after
animals in their homes on a
short-term basis

As for her own Christmas.
