Welcome

• 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.

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

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.

Join our Legislative & Animal Welfare Alert List and we’ll let you know what’s going on locally and in the Iowa legislature and how you can help.

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