Funding and Support for Our Program
We have no paid staff and no office - we rely on donations, community support and volunteers. Your donations directly support our Kitten Fostering Program, "The Purr Pad" at Jefferson Feed, Pet & Garden Center, and supplies needed for the Shelter Dog Socialization Program. Donations help pay for food, medication, health screening tests, and spay/neuter fees not covered by the shelter for the kittens and mother cats in our fostering program; leashes, toys, and instructional material for the Dog Socialization Program; and a Dog Training DVD for adopters. There are several ways that you can help us.
(1) You may send donations directly to Friends of the Jefferson Animal Shelter.
(2) Donate to Lucky's Fund - Lucky's fund is a fund for highly adoptable animals from the Jefferson Parish Animal Shelter who need more medical care than the shelter can offer (i.e., surgery). The fund was named in honor of Lucky whose will to live inspired the fund. Send donations marked "Lucky's Fund" to Friends of the Jefferson Animal Shelter.
(3) Adopt-a-Cage - NOTE: All cages are "adopted" at this time. Adopt a cage at our offsite adoption center, The Purr Pad at Jefferson Feed, Pet & Garden Center. A $100 donation to the Adopt-a-Cage Program sponsors a cage for one year. Your name will be placed on the cage as sponsor, and if you’d like an inscription (such as in memory of Fluffy), let us know. The adopt-a-cage program provides funds for the cats at The Purr Pad. These funds are used to microchip the cats, provide toys, and any medical care needed. Donations should be marked “Adopt-a-Cage” and mailed to Friends of the Jefferson Animal Shelter. Send us an e-mail along with your donation and we will send you a photo each month of the cat residing in “your” cage.
(4) Fund-a-Fix - Spaying and Neutering our foster kittens before they go to their new home is a priority for our organization. Your $30 donation to the Fund a Fix Program provides funds to spay and neuter kittens. Your name will be placed on a kitten’s web page noting that you provided his/her neuter/spay. Donations should be marked “Fund a Fix” and mailed to Friends of the Jefferson Animal Shelter. Send us an e-mail along with your donation and we’ll send you a photo of the kitten that was spayed/neutered with your donation.
(5) You may shop at the igive.com Mall, which has over 380 retailers -- when you shop at a retailer through the igive.com Mall, the retailer donates a percentage of your purchase to our organization.
