Overlook Neighborhood Update (Oct. 21)

2) Overlook’s newest heritage trees
3) Feeding a stray cat? Sign up for spay/neuter


1) N Interstate & N Church development

The architects working on the seven-story apartment project at N Interstate and N Church sent along their thanks to Overlook residents who asked great questions and shared insightful ideas at the October OKNA general meeting.

In response to resident requests at the meeting, they have sent their presentation and upper floor plans.

If you have additional question you’d like sent to the developers, share them with overlookna@gmail.com

2) Overlook’s newest heritage trees

Join your neighbors on Saturday, Nov. 3, 1-2 p.m., to celebrate the formal designation of three Plane Trees there as official Portland’s heritage trees. The trees and the party will be at the triangle of N Castle Avenue, N Overlook Boulevard and N Shaver Street.

These trees have been selected for this special tribute because of their age, size, beauty and history. Join us for some much-deserved tree hugging. Refreshments will be provided.

Learn more about the Heritage Tree Program online.

3) Feeding a stray cat? Sign up for spay/neuter

Every cat deserves a little holiday gift this year, especially the outdoor feral and stray cats that can be brought through the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon’s (FCCO) spay/neuter clinic in December.

As part of its Season’s Feedings cat food drive, FCCO is offering free cat food to caregivers who bring in their feral and stray cats to FCCO’s spay/neuter clinic in December. Throughout November the nonprofit is collecting dry cat food generously donated by individuals and local pet stores.

If you are feeding feral or stray cats, call FCCO today at 503-797-2606 to schedule a spay/neuter appointment. All surgeries are performed by licensed veterinarians at FCCO’s SW Portland clinic. Services are donation-based and include a spay/neuter; vaccinations; flea and ear mite treatment; and an ear-tip. Caregivers throughout December will receive free cat food.
