United Paws’ Kittens of the Week

Submitted By: unitedpawshelp@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Lucy and Cindee were rescued from a Tillamook trailer park where a kind resident had been feeding about a dozen kittens and cats. She asked United Paws to help by taking some of the kittens since she was on overwhelm. Lucy and Cindee are two of those rescues and they have turned out to be two of the sweetest and most loving cats we have had.
Cindee has a luscious black coat with subtle streaks and hints of deep brown. When she first arrived at United Paws, she was somewhat shy and frightened of the new environment, but within a few days of sweet talking and petting, Cindee transformed into a loving sweetheart who greets you and rolls onto her back, waiting for your belly rubs. If you have been dreaming of being greeted like this, Cindee is the kitten for you!
Lucy also has an elegant black coat with subtle markings of deep brown stripes that stand out in the sunlight. Her beauty is matched by her sweet loving personality. No doubt about it, she loves to hang out with humans who adore her! Lucy has a powerful motor—she will purr all day long—and she wants to give you kisses while she snuggles near your face and hair. Lucy and her sister Cindee can both be energetic together at playtime and they love wand toys! They are happy to play with you, but when they’re tired, they gladly will settle into your lap for some cuddles. Lucy, in particular, will purr for a long time like a calming lullaby after a long day. Simply stated, Lucy is the cat’s meow!
These sisters are ready for loving homes. They would love to stay together since they are fabulous playmates. However, they can go to separate loving homes, if necessary. Both are spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for a home of their own.
If you are interested in meeting them before making a decision, a “Meet & Greet” at United Paws can be arranged once you have been pre-approved for adopting through United Paws. Contact us by email, phone, or Facebook messenger. You can get an Adoption Application off our website for preapproval: www.unitedpaws.wordpress.com.

News update from the Nehalem Bay Health District

Submitted By: marc@nehalembayhd.org – Click to email about this post
Nehalem Bay Health District Receives Generous Gift from the Jeffrey C. Kozlowski Fund of the Oregon Community Foundation

(Wheeler) – The Jeffrey C. Kozlowski Fund, a fund administered by the Oregon Community Foundation, has generously provided a $20,000 grant for the new Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy that is currently under construction in Wheeler.

The Jeffrey C. Kozlowski Fund was established by Linda Kozlowski and Bill Supak of Manzanita to honor the legacy of their son, Jeff Kozlowski, an accomplished biotech software engineer who died unexpectedly in 2013 at the young age of 42.

“On behalf of our board and all those who have worked so hard to advance the cause of improved local health and senior care in our community we are humbled and truly appreciative of this caring and magnanimous gift,” said Marc C. Johnson, president of the Health District board.

“The Health District will have such an amazing impact on our community,” Linda Kozlowski said, “Jeff would be very pleased to have had a small part!”

The new Health Center and Pharmacy, a 16,000 square foot facility, will triple the size of the current Health Center (the former Rinehart Clinic), providing space for new services, including dental, x-ray and specialty care. The project is on schedule and is projected to be completed in early September 2025.

Johnson said the Kozlowski funding will allow the Health District to pay for technology upgrades planned for the new Health Center.

Additionally, the Kozlowski gift, along with support from other Oregon funders including the Roundhouse, Ford Family and Samuel S. Johnson Foundations and a recent significant in-kind contribution from Hampton Lumber, allows the Health District flexibility in the use of bond funds approved by District voters in 2023. The District’s other current priorities include the ongoing renovation of the Nehalem Valley Care Center and the eventual development of workforce housing for health care and other essential workers.
