Did You Know...

• 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.

Pets of the Month for April

Grafix: Perhaps we can't make a difference for all the cats in the world...

Alex*

*These animals are listed as a Owner/Rescuer Re-home Service. They are not being fostered by JCHS. To meet them contact us by e-mail.

We are an all-volunteer group that does not operate a sheltering facility.

Our foster homes are currently full.

We cannot take in more animals.

Immediate Housing Needs Alert for Cats

There are several cats in Hills who must be re-homed because of a change in their caregiver’s health. They range in age from 3-15 years (most are between 10-15). See Herschel and Alex above.

Also in April...

Grafix: Change for Change New Pi and Iowa Shares

New Pioneer Co-op has choosen Iowa Shares for their CHANGE-for-CHANGE Round-up program in April.

JCHS is an affiliate member of Iowa Shares, so the Change-for-Change Round-up doesn’t specifically help us, but Iowa Shares does so much good...

When you shop at New Pi in Iowa City, Coralville and Cedar Rapids this month, make sure to ask about rounding up as you check out (if you’re not asked by the cashier first). Tell your friends - Like - Share!
