A multi-media fundraiser in partnership with KPTV FOX 12, Oregon Humane’s Day of Giving raises critical funds to support all of our life-changing programs and services.  

Thank you to everyone who donated during our 2026 event, helping to raise more than $419,000! Your gifts will help pets in our community by making spay/neuter and other medical services more accessible, protecting animals from abuse and neglect, and completing families by helping animals find loving homes.

When a community member brought a litter of neonatal kittens to Oregon Humane after discovering them huddled in a tire without a mama cat to care for them, donor support made it possible for us to say yes to helping the tiny siblings. Covered in water and oil, the kittens were in desperate need of warmth and food. Oregon Humane’s Foster team jumped into action to address the kittens’ immediate needs and quickly found an experienced foster home to provide ongoing care. The kittens are now safe, healthy, and becoming more playful and curious every day. 

Oregon Humane has seen an 86% increase in kittens being surrendered at our Portland campus since 2019. This dramatic uptick in young, vulnerable animals entering the shelter system means that more time and resources need to be spent on ensuring their well-being. From expensive kitten formula, to spay/neuter surgeries, to specialized treatments for infections such as ringworm, kittens require a considerable amount of care, and as the number of unwanted litters climb, that means fewer opportunities are available to help other animals in need of assistance.  

Your support makes it possible for Oregon Humane to provide spay/neuter surgery for every animal entering into our care, ending the cycle of unwanted litters that lead to overpopulation.
