Happy Jack Cats, Inc. We provide foster homes for community kittens, rehab them, & find permanent homes for them. Indoor homes only. No declawing. We Save Kittens! Throwaway kittens!

All animals are spayed/neutered, FIV/FeLV tested, get age appropriate vaccines, are microchipped, and treated for parasites. The people (and Jack) at Happy Jack Cats, Inc., an Idaho Nonprofit Organization, have found that there is one area of animal rescue that is not addressed by anyone in our community. That is the problem of throwaway kittens. So we are doing something aBout it. What a terrible

concept, but its literally true. These are the kittens the are abandoned, abused by cruel people, born to stray mothers in sheds and woodpiles, used as snake food or dog bait, orphaned when their mothers are hit by cars, and just plain die of hunger and exposure. Most throw away kittens have brutal backstories, and we have seen some awful things. No matter how you feel about cats, this is a community problem and, in our eyes a community disgrace, because these babies are the most innocent of the innocent. Here’s how we are dealing with it. Kittens come to us in various ways. One common story is, “ I found this little kitten. Its very young, and I don’t know what to do”. Okay. Bring it to us. We do know what to do. It doesn’t really matter how the kittens come to us. They just come. These little ones are so happy to be in a warm room, with a soft blanket to sleep on, and wonder of wonders, plenty of food. Heaven! After each kitten is parasite free, socialized, and spayed or neutered, we find the best possible adoptive home for her or him. We screen all prospective adopters. Some of our kittens are helping out persons with developmental disabilities. At least two of our cats work with professional therapists. Some kittens are the companions of the elderly, and others are playmates for children. Often Happy Jack’s kittens ease the pain of a beloved pet’s dying by filling that empty spot, and others comfort someone who is simply lonely. Some adopters just want a beautiful, affectionate creature to share their home. There are as many reasons for adopting a kitten, as there are adopters. We thought we are just saving kittens, but, as it turns out, we help people too. Remember these are the throw aways. What a terrible waste? We charge the new pet owner a re-homing fee to help defray the cost of the animal’s care, but its never enough. That’s where the community comes in. That’s you. Please help us by donating a fortune to Happy Jack Cats, Inc. Okay, if you don’t have a fortune, how about whatever you feel comfortable with. We appreciate every penny. It breaks our hearts to have to turn any of these babies away because of lack of funds. One way to help is to use our referral link at and sign up for Dropbox.com - we will earn storage space when you do! https://db.tt/vQrdTEqi

MUSTACHE JOE AND SISSY HAVE BEEN ADOPTED!

Do you remember our "one-eyed grunge band" litter? (Three of the five kittens had serious eye issues.) Mustache Joe and Sissy are their two-eyed brother and sister, and these two have exciting news:
They have been adopted together!

It is such a great thing for these two to have a safe and loving home. These are dramatically different circumstances from where they came from. Thank goodness for people who care! The world for these two sweet souls has changed from fear and pain to happiness and comfort. This is the best news!

This is what you use to hold vetted cats for a few weeks when you are training them to stay as barn cats . They need time to get use to sounds, smells, noises, other animals and people before you just turn them loose...
A few people recently told me some terrible things concerning rescues just releasing cats in a barn situation and didn't do proper protocol! ( Confinement usually 2 weeks).

(Thank you for sending this to me Janet)!

What a cute little Rascal!
This adorable grey kitten has his own loving family. Now he has human playmates to be rambunctious with, and, of course, snuggle buddies when he needs affection. He has a bright future now. Adoption saves lives!

People get animals, but not everyone treats them with the love and care they deserve. Animals aren’t just possessions, they’re living beings who need compassion, attention, and respect. It’s heartbreaking to see them neglected or mistreated. Not everyone deserves the joy and responsibility of having an animal in their life.

Chili is a happy and sweet little kitten who is still getting used to humans in his life. His litter didn't have much interraction with humans, but with time they have become comfortable being around people. He loves playing with his siblings (especially his brother Cayenne) and will need someone else to wrestle and chase.

Jalapeno is a sweet kitten and not as hot or spicy as his name suggests. He is laid back and likes to be around his human. Jalapeno has a gorgeous black coat that is medium in length, so he'll need to be brushed regularly. He is a playful kitten who gets along well with other kitties and dogs. Jalapeno is looking for his furrever home and is excited to meet you!

ADOPT PICANTE!
Picante is a happy, sweet, little kitten who desparately wants to be with his humans. He likes to lay near them and get a good scratching under the chin or behind his ears. He is receptive to other animals, including cat-friendly dogs, and would do best with a friend.

ADOPT POPSICLE!
Popsicle came to HJC, on a very hot day, after being abandoned in an apartment. Popsicle lIkes to play and climb cat trees, but she also lIkes to cuddle and snuggle with her foster.

Popsicle can be very persistent when it comes to sharing food (what's yours is hers), but she is responsive to mild correction and she will probably grow out of the habit once she is regularly fed.

She was abandoned down by the river, rescued, and now adopted into a caring family. Things are looking up for River…way up!

May her life be the best it can possibly be from now on. Wishing her lots of love and plenty of spoiling. She’ll be needing lots of, treats, toys, and tons of love.

To the anonymous folks that left a kitten alone by the river: that was not okay! There are alternatives. Be better.

WE’RE IN THE CLOUDS!
Cumulus and Nimbus just got adopted as a pair. This is good news for them and their adopter. When kittens are adopted together, they learn correct cat behaviors from each other and usually remain close as adults.

They will learn important social skills like how to communicate, how to play appropriately, how to get along with other cats, and bite inhibition (how hard to bite). Kittens that grow up without siblings—or another kitten of approximately the same age—may not learn these things.

Cumulus and Nimbus are some of the lucky ones. Thanks so much to their new family for giving them the opportunity to grow and learn together and, of course, to their wonderful foster mom, Sheila.

We love a happy ending where siblings get to stay together. Congrats to Yvette, Oscar, and their wonderful new family! 🥰✨

ANNOUNCING: Little Miss Stevie Maryanne Wonder is ready for adoption!

Two months of healing time has brought this girl out of her shell. Her pictures just don't do her justice. Given patience and all the time she needed, she has become playfully curious and trusting. She's an independent girl, who has shown interest in other cats (with slow, proper introduction) and likes to playfully spar with an older, very patient feline friend at her foster home. She has not experienced dogs.

Stevie needs stability and routine as even the smallest changes can be somewhat overwhelming for her with limited sight.
She would benefit from a calm, consistent home environment where her new family can continue to guide her curiosity with patience, positivity and treats.

She is very attached to some of her favorite toys which she energetically responds to. She has even fetched one a few times. (We are still honing those skills.) She has the cutest, quiet, slightly gravelly meow, and she purrs endlessly. She has perfect litter box habits, and she has even successfully crate trained herself. It has been the biggest reward to see her climb onto my lap when she finally feels confidence and contentment in her environment.

If you have a household Stevie would thrive in, please consider adopting her into your family. Visit our website at https://happyjackcats.org/adopt to find out more and to fill out an application for adoption.

These bonded kittens have scored a home. They are great kittens and HJC hopes their home is permanent, their humans are kind, they are safe, and their food is plentiful and nutritious. What more could a cat ask for? Maybe a tall cat tree and lots of treats and toys! May your future be rosy, little ones!

FEATHER IS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AGAIN!
She was adopted only two weeks ago. Now she is being returned..not by her adopter, but by a friend of the adopter. She was given away to the friend because her adopter is moving out-of-state to take care of a sick relative. At the time of adoption we ask that the adopter not rehome the adoptee, but return the animal to HJC.

Feather came to us with a litter of kittens that she had been caring for. After intake she was waiting to be noticed for some time in a box at a pet store. She then had two homes in as many weeks. Obviously she needs a stable home because her life has been pure chaos up to this point.

If you can help this girl by providing her a stable home with a side of kindness, follow this link and fill out her Potential adopter app: https://happyjackcats.org/adopt

We are thrilled to announce that our sweet and loving mama, Josephine, has found her furrever home! This petite beauty, who came to us from a ranch in Oregon had seven babies (4 who are still looking for their future families), has finally found the loving adoptive home she deserves. After being an incredible mother and caring for her "French" litter of kittens, it’s now Josephine’s turn to be pampered and adored.

Thank you to everyone who followed her journey and helped her find her happily ever after. We know she’ll thrive in her new home, surrounded by love and security. Bon voyage, Josephine! 💕

I’m sure they’ll be very good kitties and will stay out of trouble. After alll, they will have each other to play with. Its going to be fun to watch.

Stanley, the cow cat and all boy, is standing on the toy. Tater Tot owns the carrier, and Dolly, AKA Sissy, is looking adorable with her head cocked. Tater Tot is in the background supervising.

I hope their new family sends update pictures and stories. We all enjoy those so much.

WESTLEY & MAUI HAVE BEEN REUNITED.
Westley was adopted a few days ago, but his friend, Maui was left behind. Westley missed Maui so much that his new family came back and adopted Maui too.

Young as they are, these two kittens have formed a strong bond and are going to love sleeping, playing, and spending time together. Thanks to their perceptive and kind humans they get to do just that.

These boys are lucky in the family that adopted them.

FYI: Maui is white and gray. The little black kitty is Westley.

GEORGIE & LULU
Looking at this photo of Georgie and Lulu snuggling it’s just not possible to put these intelligent, living, breathing, creatures into the same category as a lamp.

Many people think of pet cats as assets (which means they are sometimes treated and thought of as things, like cars and furniture.) But they aren’t really commodities. Pets are warm beings that we share space with for companionship, comfort, and entertainment. They make our time here on earth so much richer and happier. We should return the favor.

Looking at their photo it is easy to see that these sisters are both capable of love and friendship, but each one is an individual and has her own sweet personality.

From what I’m hearing from their foster mom, Georgie and Lulu are well rounded, people oriented, and unusually nice. They are used to a busy household, with other cats and kids; they are matched and strikingly beautiful! (Love the black eyeliner!)

We prefer that they are not separated. In most cases, kittens do so much better adopted together. These are indoor kittens and will need a cat tree and toys, but will entertain each other most of the time…another advantage of taking two.

Not all kittens are the same. They really aren’t. Not every one has had such a gentle, healthy upbringing in an excellent foster home like Georgie and Lulu. That sort of thing matters. Fill out their Potential Adopter Apps here: https://happyjackcats.org/adopt

THIS IS POPPY & SHE HAS BEEN ADOPTED!
Poppy’s case is a triumph. She was one of our returned, adult cats, that just couldn’t seem to find a home, despite the fact that she is lovely and super nice.

In desperation—she had been in a Petco store for weeks with no interest—we put out a call to our HJC supporters for a temporary foster, and, thank goodness, someone stepped forward to help Poppy.

If that person hadn’t volunteered to help, not only would Poppy not have been adopted, but Belle wouldn’t have been able to take her place at Petco, in order to get more exposure. Two lives were saved, not just one.

We are always saying thank you to the wonderful people who volunteer to help these innocent animals, but a simple “thank you” never seems enough. Please remember and applaud the good such people do.

PS: the Foster's daughter, Kate, fostered the two torties—in similar circumstances—until their adoptions. Kindness must run in the family!

THANK YOU!
