While an incoming Fred Meyer will affect traffic in Wilsonville, Karmen Price has another concern in mind.

She's worried about the number of feral cats roaming the 18 acres of Fred Meyer property. She will spend the next week trapping the cats, getting them spayed or neutered and helping them adjust to a socialized life.

Price is looking for anyone interested in taking the cats once she has taken care of them.

"I have a passion for cats, I always have," she said.

She estimates there are one to two dozen cats living in the field. She has received permission from the city to be on the property, where she will use cages during the daylight hours to trap the cats.

She takes the cats to Village at Main Veterinary Hospital, where Dr. Christopher McIlmoil charges her the $50 humane society rate to get the cats fixed.

In the past, Price has trapped cats in a field near her home and after taking them to the veterinarian, she has released them back into the field.

"Statistics show that the colonies eventually die off because it stops the breeding," she said. "Then, you don't have the problem."

Price worries that if the cats are not trapped and removed from the field, they will "move" into the neighboring Old Town, and become a problem for those residents.

Anyone interested in taking a cat should contact the veterinian's office at 503-570-9735 or Price at 503-984-9472.
