The volunteers at JJ’s Helping Paws are so busy taking care of the community’s feral, injured and abandoned cats that they have little time for anything else. And every penny they recei…

Last week was so special with Keller Williams Canon City Red Day making JJs Helping Paws a 100% volunteer organization a better place by helping the exterior of our building. This helps us help the cats and dogs of Fremont County who rely on JJs programs. Our building is a port in the storm for cats and kittens who are surrendered to us, and home to many programs like our low cost spay and neuter voucher program for Fremont County pet owned cats and dogs. Paws Up for Keller Williams!

JJs appreciates the wet canned food we received this Saturday which was 210 cans plus 16 pounds of dry food. When JJs does trap, neuter, vaccinate and return of feral/community cats there is so much more than the TNR that is needed. It requires stabilizing the feral colony with food and often many kittens are surrendered to JJs. Many of these colonies are 10-30 cats and the colony managers cannot afford to feed the cats. This is why JJs helps. Thank you for donating to JJs feral food bank it means so much to JJs volunteers and the feral cats.

Happy Mother’s Day from JJs. This mother and kittens pictured recently came to JJs from a very tough situation. She is the best mother and takes such good care of them. She makes sure they are fed, warm, cleaned, and LOVED. It almost seems she says thank you to the volunteers when they feed her, and check on her and the babies. We are so glad that we at JJs can make this mama and her babies feel warm, loved, and safe.

05/08/2022

Paws Up for an absolute stellar volunteer at JJs Bryan Mathews, from being part of the low cost spay and neuter voucher team, transporting cats, being a foster, helping out at so many JJ events and ALWAYS being there for the kitties and the volunteers. Thank you Bryan for all you do for JJs you make such a difference.

JJs volunteers feel that one of the greatest ways to make a difference for the cats and dogs in Fremont County is by having accessible programs like our low cost spay and neuter voucher program. Pictured is Penelope who was recently spayed with a JJs voucher. Paws Up for responsible pet ownership. Paws Up for all our friends who continue to be a part of this by sharing our post. It takes a village.

Nana here is getting spayed with a JJs voucher. JJs partners with many pet owners to help them spay and neuter their pets. JJs programs are for Fremont County residents only however we get many requests for surrounding areas. We hear often that our spay and neuter programs make a huge difference in our community, less puppies and kittens, healthier pets, and promoting a better chance for adoption of cats and dogs that are already in shelters and rescues because there is less competition with puppies and kittens.

The Angels we help like Minky a pet owned kitty who was spayed at Fourmile Veterinary Clinic with a JJs voucher. One of the best ways JJs volunteers feel they can make an impact for the cats and dogs of Fremont County is by having spay and neuter programs like our low cost spay and neuter voucher program for pet owned cats and dogs, and our trap, neuter, vaccinate and return for feral/community cats. Can you imagine what Fremont County would look like without our high volume spay and neuter programs?

04/13/2022

Thank you to those who donated cat food for our feral/community cat food drive this Saturday. These are cats who have gone through our trap, neuter, vaccinate, and return program. We are so touched.

Paws Up for JJ’s Volunteers

Everyone at JJ’s is 100% volunteer. Many people are astonished about how much JJ’s does. Here is a glimpse of what JJ’s volunteers do: foster cats and kittens, TNR program, drive cats to rescue partners, organize free spay and neuter events, feed feral/community cats, organize cat food drives, drive long distances for food, meet people for low cost spay and neuter vouchers, first responders in hoarding situations, educate about spay and neuter, write newsletters, take pictures, answer the many phone messages for need we receive daily, organize garage sale to raise funds, build feeding stations and feral/ community cat shelters, analyze data about JJ’s work, educate about spay and neuter, take pictures, a lot of paperwork, maintaining website and Facebook, write grants, and more. Many volunteers have said that this work is very satisfying because of the lives they help. JJ’s knows it takes a village.

JJ's Helping Paws needs your help!!

JJ's Helping Paws needs you help!! Kitten season is here. We wish that all kittens that come into our care would be healthy but unfortunately that is not the case. Penelope and Blanche are just 2 of the many kittens we have had this year that have needed extensive medical care requiring hospitalization with IV fluids. Blanche had a fever of 107!!! As you can see in the video Penelope and Blanche have recovered thanks to awesome foster care and veterinary care (thank you Rose Vet Clinic). You can help us help these little ones by donating. Go to the following website and click on the donate button. Thank you for your support!! https://jjshelpingpaws.org/donate

Nona

Nona is a senior cat that has had a tough life. She was left behind outside when her people moved away. This is never something anyone should do to a cat but is especially cruel to do to a senior declawed cat. Luckily a neighbor took Nona in but she could not afford to care for her so she called JJ’s Helping Paws. Nona’s foster parents fell in love with her and have decided to make her a part of their family. What a transformation this little girl has had!!

What is Tater trying to tell us? The news just said (they might) be home for another month.........let me out!!!!!

Say Hi to Dana This sweet girl came to JJ's during a sad time. Her mom passed away and was not discovered for a week. She was left outside to fend for herself. 😞 Thank goodness a friendly neighbor recognized her and called JJ's!! He knew being left outside was not good for her. She is a little sad but loves to have attention, which her foster is giving her. https://jjshelpingpaws.org/

Snuggles thanks everyone who donated to JJ’s, on his behalf. 🐾🐾 Thank you. https://jjshelpingpaws.org/

Celebrating Global Cat Day (aka: Feral/Community Cat Day) These cats/kittens deserve to be treated with compassion. JJ’s is fortunate to work with individuals who understand and take the time to do the right thing. They TNVR. Spaying/neutering and returning them to their homes, is important. Rescuing the ones that can be fostered and adopted. A few pictures of community TNVR! Thank You. https://www.bobtailkitty.com/global-cat-day-feral/ https://jjshelpingpaws.org/ Pet Portraits by Becca some photos courtesy of Becca - they are a top fan of TNVR!

A moment with JJ’s. These little ones are so cute and hungry. A momma had 7 babies. She is taking good care of them. The feeder has done a wonderful job working with the babies. We will be back for momma, to get her spayed. No momma left behind. We know the momma is watching us, from somewhere.

Chilling on a hot day. Convincing a kitty water is something good. This kitty is showing the water, who is boss. Love the ear tips. Yes, community cats can have fun. Thank you Sandy for the video and photos.

This handsome kitty has been hanging in my neighborhood for about 2 months. Not sure if male or female - but "he" follows me around when I go outside and talks my leg off... He is shy of touch right now, but I think he would warm up quite well with a little more attention. I did manage to stroke his back a bit - and he seems very boney under all that fur.

He has taken to staying in my yard pretty much all the time - which is a huge problem with my own pets - as he picks on my old dog, and she is a rescue and afraid of her shadow..

I've posted on the local lost & found pet pages, but I think this guy has been abandoned...

Called FCSO animal control and she will not pick him up.
I am at a loss for where to turn to get this guy some help. I have no idea where he sleeps at night, but during the day he stays pretty much in or around my yard.

Someone referred me to this page. Just looking for help in finding this guy a forever home where someone can care for him.. and my pets can have their yard back. I don't think it would take much to tame him down again, as he seems to look for companionship.

Any help would be very much appreciated

Meet Muffin, abandoned in her golden years after her daddy passed away. She's been fostered by the loving folks at JJ's Helping Paws until we find a quiet and loving home for her. More about this beauty at happycatshaven.org/2020/muffin
