2022 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
728 pet cats and dogs were spayed or neutered through our Low Cost Spay Neuter Programs and our Free Spay/Neuter Clinics.
382 feral cats and kittens were trapped, spayed/neutered and vaccinated through our Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR) Program. Some went into our Uber Kitty Program to be adopted and the rest were returned to their communities.
347 cats and kittens were surrendered to JJ's by their owners. Through our Uber Kitty Program, all of these cats and kittens were fostered and found homes. There is NO cost for owners to surrender their cats/kittens.
JJ's provided more than 2,200 low-cost vaccinations for cats and dogs - in conjunction with JJ's spay/neuter, Uber and TNR programs.
More than 500 cats receive food assistance from JJ's Feral Food Bank every single day of the year!
With the help of our volunteers, veterinarian partners, the community and our volunteer board of directors, we have made a tremendous difference in Fremont County!
THANK YOU, ALL!
Molly's Place - JJs Cat Rescue Shelter
Molly’s Place – Home of JJ’s Helping Paws is a shelter for owner-surrendered cats (last year we fostered 347 owner-surrendered cats – at no cost to the cat owner)! The shelter is also headquarters for our TNR program and feral food pantry and other JJ's business.
JJ's runs entirely on small grants, private donations and fundraising events. We are 100% volunteer-powered including our board of directors. Please consider making a donation to help us continue to make a difference to thousands of cats and dogs in Fremont County every year.
Molly was rescued by a JJ's volunteer. She was named after the unsinkable Molly Brown and pictured at right. Molly had a broken front leg, an eye swollen shut, and was missing a lot of fur. Through JJ’s programs, she received medical attention and lots of love from a foster parent – and she thrived!!! JJ's is just like Molly - small but mighty!!
We are always looking for more volunteers (see JJ's Wish List tab for volunteer opportunities). There are lots of ways to contribute time and skills or come learn a new skill to help JJ's make a difference in our community.
Thank you for your support - it truly takes a village to help cats and dogs in need. Thank you!
