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

ADOPTED!
Lasagna has been adopted. His claim to fame at HJC is his 🙀 spectacular ear furnishings. What are ear furnishings? All that hair growing out of his ears! Ear furnishings are a characteristic of certain breeds, for example Maine C**n, Norwegian Forest Cat, and Pixie-Bob to name only three…there are others. However, Lasagna is a mixed breed, but it looks like he may have some pretty interesting ancestry.

Thanks so much to his new family for adopting this handsome fellow. Hopefully they are committed to making him a member of their family and loving him. We say often that an adoptive family has saved two lives: the adoptee and the kitten that can now fill his place. Thanks! The new family is the final step in the rescue process.

❤️❤️❤️

Thanks so much to their adopter for keeping them together because they are the best of friends and, of course, two lives have been saved. Well, really four lives because two new kittens can now be helped.

So winter is approaching rapidly, the end to kitten season, WRONG, there are still kittens being born, desperately needing help in cold weather. Spay and neuter is the only humane solution to ending this crisis.

Here’s a idea. Its worth a try anyway.

We're thankful that the SNIP-Spay Neuter Idaho Pets, Inc clinic exists and helps Happy Jack Cats, Inc. get many of our foster kittens & cats and Spay It Forward kitties, spayed or neutered every week!

The team there is kind, skilled, and efficient and they love every animal that comes through the door.

And bonus, they help keep our Emily's head screwed on straight when she gets overwhelmed with all the appointments, cats and paperwork.

"If we adopt a kitten now, can you hold him until Christmas?"

🎄🎄🎄

Now that the holiday season is upon us, that becomes a common question we receive. Happy Jack Cats does Not hold adopted animals. We don't want to play the part of Scrooge, but there are very good reasons for our policy.

Happy Jack Cats is a small rescue based on adoptions and donations. We have a huge influx of daily calls for assistance. Holding a kitten that would otherwise be homed prevents us from bringing in others who need help. Meanwhile, valuable resources are being used while the kittens stay in our care.

Most importantly, holding a cat/kitten is not in the best interest of the animal. An immense amount of development happens with kittens in just a few weeks time. A kitten would be bonding with their foster instead of their adopter. It then makes the transition to a new home more difficult. Additionally, introductions to other animals become more difficult as kittens age. Cats or kittens needs to come into an environment that is ready for their arrival, and surprises mean the home cannot be prepared ahead of time.

The excitement of a new animal will wear off. Instead of a gift, such as a toy, kittens should be thought of as lifelong members of the family. After the lights and decorations are put away, the kitten will still be there up to 20 years later.

Cats make incredible life companions, and we are still adopting cats and kittens through the holiday season (without the expectation of holding them until Christmas, of course.)
Thank you to everyone for your continued support!

CICI’S FOSTER SENT this photo of her Manx tail. What a unique kitten! FYI: There is another Manx in her litter, also cute as can be.

20/11/2024

Most kittens born outside don’t live long and their short lives are filled with misery: cold, pain, hunger, predation, and disease. Its heartbreaking! What innocent creature deserves that? Without your help we could do absolutely nothing about it, but thanks to your generosity, we can save many lives. Thank you to our supporters and donors! You’re the best of us.

Happy Jack Cats (HJC) will again be participating in Giving Tuesday in 2024 and hoping that you will support us with a donation again this year. https://give-usa.keela.co/HJC-giving-tuesday

It seems that no matter how hard we work at saving the lives of kittens, there is always more to do. The problem of overpopulation is slow to go away. Still we keep chipping away at it, and every life saved it a cause for celebration. We post success stories on our page. Take a look: Happy Jack Cats, Inc.

CIRI HAS BEEN ADOPTED!
Congratulations to Ciri’s new family. She’ unique in that she is a Manx and a beautifully marked calico. May she and her new family enjoy many happy years together.

(See Michael, her foster’s, comments…including a video of the whole litter playing. So cute! Male fosters are as rare as Manx calicos!)

ADOPT BRAD AND GEORGE! www.happyjackcats.org/apply
Brad and George are super bonded brothers. Beautiful Tabby and white markings and gorgeous dark gold eyes.

Thay had a hard start, but have overcome illness and fears, and come out the otherside as sweet little monsters!

They cuddle, sleep, and play together. Brad is just slightly more attentive to his humans than George, but he's getting the idea that the lap is a pretty good deal.

Thay have been out in the house and get along with our house cats.

They are great with the dogs, but George can be a brat and he would need to live with a patient dog who isn't overreactive to his shenanigans.

They will not be large cats.

If you know someone looking for a kitty...two are always better than one! And you will not be disappointed with these two scallywags.

Bella’s Been Waiting Since April—Can You Help Her Find a Home?
😽😽😽 Please share this post 😽😽😽
Apply to adopt Bella at www.happyjackcats.org/apply

Bella, our lovely black-and-white Manx, has been with us since April 2024, and she’s more than ready to find her forever home. She’s our longest-standing foster, and while we love her, we know she deserves a place to call her own.

Bella is a shy but sweet kitty who thrives in a calm and quiet environment. She needs a home where she can be the only pet, with patient humans who understand that she may take a little time to fully settle in. Once she feels safe, she’ll reward you with her gentle presence and love of cozy spaces.

With perfect litter box habits and a love for catnip toys, Bella will be a low-maintenance companion. She’s a quiet observer who would appreciate a peaceful home to relax and enjoy life at her own pace.

Bella has waited long enough—let’s get her the happy ending she deserves! If you’re looking for a chill, independent cat to share your home with, Bella might just be your girl.

Special Announcement!
We have an awesome announcement to make tonight! MIA, the foster cat who has been with us the longest (over a year), HAS BEEN ADOPTED!

Mia came to us with her litter of newborn kittens. She was living a difficult life on the streets fending for herself and babies while trying to stay safe. It is beyond wonderful to know that she will never live that life again. She will have all of the comforts a cat can want and love and affection in place of abuse.
What a great way to start off the holiday season! We are so thrilled.

Thank you to Mia's new adopters for giving her the home and family she really deserves!

ADOPT LASAGNA!
This happy, well-adjusted, patched-tabby kitten, Lasagna, likes people, but he is crazy about other cats too. All he wants to do is play, play, play and then take a cat nap. This is not surprising since he was raised with five brothers by his mama cat. Playing is his favorite activity, and we know that the best “toy” for a kitten is another kitten! Because of this, Lasagna will have to be adopted in a pair or his new home will have to have an existing cat or kitten to keep him company.

Lasagna is almost three months old and is small for his age. He has soft, medium-long hair; a sweet, pink nose; and dark eyeliner! If you are interested in meeting beautiful Lasagna, follow this link to our adoption page and fill out a Potential Adopter Worksheet: https://happyjackcats.org/adopt

Lasagna has some special requirements to keep in mind before adoption:
1. He needs FVRCP vaccine boosters until he turns four months old.
2. He has undescended testicles so couldn't be neutered when his siblings were. His adopter will need to bring him to our vet to have him neutered when he turns four months old. We will cover the cost.

ADOPT WILBER!
Wilber’s a character! He runs up his cat tree and naps in the comfortable cubbies. Of course, a kitten as active as Wilber is crazy about toys, so when he is adopted, his new family will need to go toy shopping!

If you are looking for cute and think Wilber might just be the kitten you’ve been looking for, fill out his Potential Adopter Worksheet here:
https://www.shelterluv.com/publish_animal/HJC-A-3262

For Wilber, everything is a toy, but the best toy for a kitten is another kitten. Maybe you already have a lonely kitten about his age. Perfect! Wilber needs a friend.

MAGDA HAS BEEN ADOPTED!
Here she is with her new family. We think she’s going to be very, very, exceptionally happy with these fine folks. It’s her time now to be spoiled and fussed over, and those two girls look like they will do a good job of it. We hope her family will send updates and photos to let all of us know how she is doing.

FOR ADOPTION: Jingle and Jangle (white bib)
These two male kittens and two siblings were abandoned in Nampa, with their mother. Tragically their mother was hit by a car. A rescuer was able to grab these two, but the others got away and are still out there somewhere…and it’s cold! Poor babies. They are approximately 2 and a half months old, and you can meet them at the Petco on Findley in Boise.

These boys seem to have had some exposure to dogs and are socialized, friendly, and responsive to humans. As always we recommend adopting them as a pair. Its best for them and you, but they are also adoptable as singles.

(Surely there is a better solution to a problem than abandoning a mom and her babies to die. Spaying and neutering?)

If you are interested in adopting one or both of these kittens, follow this link to our Facebook adoption page: https://happyjackcats.org/adopt
