Welcome

• We’re still working on our newest page: Feral Cats and Trap/Neuter/Return.

• We’re always seeking good homes for barn cats!

• People often confuse us with the Iowa City Animal Care & Adoption Center, (the city’s municipal animal shelter). Although we both offer animals for adoption, and we work collaboratively, JCHS does not operate a sheltering facility.

• If you have lost or found an animal, contact the Iowa City Animal Care & Adoption Center or Cedar Valley Humane Society. Most communities in the Iowa City area are served by one of these animal shelters.

• Check JCHS Out on Zazzle.

You may qualify for spay/neuter financial assistance if you reside in Johnson County.

Spay/Neuter is the single most important thing you can do to make a difference.

Sometimes it’s as easy as calling or writing your legislators.
