It’s not their fault all they have to live on is hope and change.

Can NV use frying/pots & pans and such?

Justwonder, I would say most likely yes, but you may want to call the Camp at 206-450-5268, and ask for a Kitchen Co-Ordinator.

Thanks!

Is this area a never ending battle? Was it not designed to collect rainwater and drainage?
Looks to me like NV could really use pallet boards in the least. Get those tents up out of the water because much more rain can be expected in Seattle. Anyhow I will be collecting coats and blankets to contribute. Can NV use frying/pots & pans and such?

Our pleasure and thank you for caring.

SB…yes, litter boxes, especially covered ones are one of the hot items at Nickelsville. If it is not new, it just needs to be washed and disinfected because there are no ‘cleaning facilities’ at Nickelsville.

If you are able to drop it off at Hotwire Coffeehouse, we will pick it up (with everything else) and deliver to NV.

Could they use a covered litter box?

sb, as a former Pet Co-Ordinator at NV, I can say with 99.99876257643% confidence, that yes, they could! :-)

Is a person better doing drugs in a house they pay rent for better than the person who has to live outdoors and do it?

Thanks to everyone that is helping our Nickelsville neighbors.
Furry Faces Foundation and the NV Pet Coordinators have put a plan together for NV’s furry residents. The NV Pet Coordinators let residents know that Furry Faces has arranged for temporary housing for their pets. Cats will be housed at Kitty Harbor (thank you Delyn) and dogs will be boarded. So far we have one dog that we will be taking to boarding later today.

CJ—thank you for offering to foster a cat. Please feel free to shoot us an email @ furryfaces@hotmail.com and we will let you know if a need arises.

NV is in need of healthy dry cat food and litter*. If you would like to help with cat food and/or litter, donations can be dropped off at Hotwire Coffeehouse, 4410 California Ave SW. The brand we have been providing is the Costco Kirkland Adult Maintenance. It is the dark purple 25 lb bag of food for about $19.00. (Not the lavender or orange bags. That food is full of ‘fillers’). If you can’t make it to Costco, brands such as Felidade, Nutro, Natural Balance, are good, middle of the road food. (We don’t provide the cheap brands such Friskies, Atta Cat, etc., as they are full of fillers and some other less quality ingredients).

*litter option: The 40lb bags of wood pellets are a great litter. A bag costs $4 – $6, so it’s inexpensive. And, being a wood by-product, it absorbs the odor very well. When living in a tent with a litter box, the odor absorptions is important.

Thanks again to everyone.
