Friends of Jackson County Animal Shelter Pets

Who We Are:A group of volunteers in Jackson County, MS dedicated to the mission of saving animal’s lives at the Jackson County Animal Shelter. We are a 501c3 Non-profit organization incorporated in the state of Mississippi. Mission Statement:• To assist Jackson County Animal Shelter with funds, food, supplies, shelter improvements, fostering and volunteerism.• To assist Jackson County Animal Shelter in securing good, reliable adoptive families for animals through social networking, transport to other states and local adoption events. • To educate the public on the importance of spay and neuter laws, animal protection laws and pet owner responsibility. How You Can Help:We always need responsible foster families; we cannot pull animals from the local shelter unless we have safe, reliable foster homes for them to go to for training, medications, spay and neuter hold and quarantine for transports. We work in conjunction with local and out of state Rescue organizations to save as many animals as possible through this fostering, adoption and transport program.Financially, we need funds for supplies, vet care and medicines, shelter pull fees and subsidizing transports to other states. Future projects include possible upgrades to the shelter to help reduce the spread of disease, increase animal capacity and thereby reduce euthanasia rates. We are also working on how to implement and fund low cost spay and neuter programs, micro-chipping, an adoption sponsorship fund and other life saving ideas.

Meet Roo (three legged) (adoption pending)

  Roo, also known as "Rocket Roo," because he launches himself eagerly into everything he does. He can often be found zooming around the house on all three legs. Roo is very friendly to everyone and to every animal. He is very active by playing and exploring, Roo does not sit still! He needs a home with plenty of space to run around. Roo has not maneuvered climbing well but he tries; a short cat tower would be a good start to conquer. When he finally does get tired, Roo becomes a social sleeper, he will cuddle with his human companion, or you may find him snuggled with a kitten buddy in a kitty cave. Roo has a big appetite and can be vocal when ready to eat. He likes to taste test people food; cheese is his favorite. Roo's ideal home is with an individual, couple or family. He should do well with other cats and a cat-friendly dog; Roo seems to have no fear of either and would love to have a kitty buddy. He was witnessed climbing into a large dog's food dish while the dog was eating! Fortunately, the dog was willing to share! Roo is an orange classic tabby with white and has a mask and mantle pattern. As of August 2022, he is 2 months old. Roo was discovered as a very young kitten that could not use his back leg. Radiographs showed it had been broken and was healing incorrectly causing Roo pain. The back leg was amputated and has healed.       If interested in meeting this kitty, you can find an online adoption application at     https://fjcasp.wufoo.com/forms/adoption-application/       adoption fees cover spay/neuter, vaccinations, wormers and preventatives and range from $50-$70.
