Just Us Cat and Kitten Rescue, along with Catnippers, will host a low-cost vaccine clinic from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Sunday, Jan. 14, at the Pot-Nets Lakeside Community Center, 33076 Rock Cove, Long Neck.
Additional clinics at the community center are set for the same hours Feb. 11, March 10, April 14, May 12, June 9, July 14, Oct. 13 and Nov. 10.
Services include rabies and distemper shots for dogs and cats, Bordetella vaccine, Lyme vaccine, deworming for dogs and cats, heartworm and Lyme testing, leukemia vaccine and microchipping. Also available are flea and tick medications for dogs and cats, and heartworm medication for dogs, on a first-come, first-served basis. Patrons are asked to bring cash and proof of prior rabies shots if they would like to request a three-year rabies shot for their pet.
Just Us is now offering grant programs to spay/neuter feral cats in traps, and to spay/neuter domesticated cats for those who cannot afford the regular surgery fee. There will be a $20 surgery copay, payable in cash when a cat is brought in. Both programs will run on Wednesdays, with surgeries performed at the Brandywine Valley SPCA, 22918 Dupont Highway, Georgetown. The programs will continue until all grant funds are expended. Appointments must be scheduled through Wendy at 302-682-4108; call the Sunday or Monday before each Wednesday.
Just Us is a 501c3 nonprofit serving the eastern part of Sussex County. It was started in 2006 with a mission to spay and neuter community cats as well as pets. Aside from vaccine clinics and spay/neuter programs, Just Us, along with other local rescue groups, evaluates kittens and cats for adoption every Wednesday morning at the Georgetown BVSPCA, working through a program with a large no-kill shelter in Maryland. Weekly transports of cats and kittens to Maryland are conducted year-round.
Volunteers foster kittens, feed colonies, trap feral cats and provide transportation services for the Maryland adoption program. As an all-volunteer nonprofit, Just Us relies on donations to fund its many programs and hosts a fundraiser every fall at 1776 Steakhouse.
Tax-deductible donations made out to Just Us can be mailed to P.O. Box 32, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. The Just Us EIN is 87-0779615. To volunteer, call Judy Kane at 302-542-5507.
