Who and why is Uncle Jacks Cats?
Uncle Jacks Cats was established 7 years ago to help care for the many abused, neglected, unwanted and homeless dogs and cats in Glendale, AZ and surrounding areas. We are called a rescue however, we like to think of Uncle Jacks Cats as more of a No Kill sanctuary for our mostly 4 legged friends. We are a non- profit organization made up of a small group of individuals, mostly volunteers, who's ultimate goal is to save the lives of animals that would otherwise be euthanized or forgotten due to lack of care, time, education or space and to find the right family to adopt that animal. Thousands of people a year abandon their animals or have them "put to sleep" due to lack of education. Many people think of animals as dispensable. This is not correct or acceptable thinking. Every animal has a unique personality and intelligence that at times far surpasses that of man-kind yet they are so often discarded as easily as last nights trash. That is why we are here, not only to try and protect and save those animals but to spread the word that things need to change. Thousands of animals are euthanized in AZ alone not because they are sick or violent but simply because there is no room or money to keep up with the amount of animals in need. By getting involved you could help save 100's or even 1,000's of lives. Something as simple as getting your own pet fixed can make an enormous difference.
Can I Help?
Oh Yes! There are several ways. Uncle Jacks Cats is a No Kill Non-Profit Organization and we rely on our own personal finances and Donations from caring people who want to make a difference. At this time we are in great need of donations to make sure we can continue saving and bettering the lives of our furry little friends. Whether you make a one time donation of $1 $5 $20 etc or a monthly contribution you will be helping to save lives. Most people fail to realize the cost of caring for each individual animal but some of our basic costs include the following: Shelter costs, heating/cooling, water, veterinary services, medical treatment, food, litter, transportation, spay/neuter, kennels, bedding, laundry facilities, care takers, shots and that's just the basic necessities. You can also help by spreading the word on how important Spaying/Neutering your pet is (even indoor pets) and getting the word out about the need for help . If you prefer to be a little more hands on you can always donate some of your time to a rescue or even materials and food donations. These are big needs among almost any rescue or shelter. You must be completely dedicated and reliable and love all animals. Like children animals become attached quite quickly and their needs are many, Animals require attention, cleaning up after and guidance as would any child. Be willing to donate a couple of hours a day/week/month. Not only will you feel great about yourself but you'll feel great about the difference you are making. If you are interested in donating some time to Uncle Jacks Cats rescue please call Sandy at 623-979-8588.
