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.
