Connnie's camp after fire

Homeless woman escapes fire - cats don't

For the last year a homeless woman has lived at the end of Albina St. Everyone in the neighborhood know her and help her out when we can. Lat Saturday night someone crept into her campsite while she and her 8 cats were sleeping, poured gasoline around the sight ,set the can in the middle and lit it. When the gas can blew, she woke up in an inferno. She and 4 of her cats maked it out. 4 cats didn't. 2 died on scene one is still at Dove Lewis. Please help Connie and help find who did this.

OMG!! It is hard to believe we live among such a monster who would do this to another human being who is already living on the fring of society, and yet she was helping 8 cats! The poor kittys! I pray for her and her pets. We need justice!

An update on the two baddly burned kitties. Floppy (shown) is walking around and is healing nicely. Earl (not shown) just got out of Dove Lewis Clinic. He will still need a lot of care but is much better than he was.

Please help Connie help her kitties she has one in the hospital that need care but it is coming down to money. Dove Lewis has helped and P.A.W.S has tried but now the money and help has run out. Contact Vicky @ 503 283 3085 or Connie @ 971 212 2577

So how do we help this woman and her remaining cats recover? Can you post a link or something- I hate to see her and her cats suffering because of someone elses ignorant choices. The fact that the cats can't choose to leave is another thing....
