There is no cost on your end and we provide everything needed for travel.
FOSTER NEEDED!!
We had a litter of 4 kittens come in this morning and are looking for a foster for the next few weeks. They may still need to be bottle fed for a few days but they are ready to start food. We don't have any space in the cat room now for them.
Please reach out to us if you can help us for a few weeks. Call 340-774-1625, email info@stjacc.org or PM our facebook page.
Meet the team from Visiting Vets International who will be coming to St. John for our November Spay Neuter Event!!!
The ACC is still looking for donations for our November Spay Neuter event. This event is November 8-11 from 8am-3pm at the Gifft Hill School gym (upper campus). We are bringing in 15 vets from Visiting Vets International to help us with the overpopulation issue on island. The ACC plans to trap 250 plus cats, as well as encouraging local dog and cat owners to come get their animal spay/neutered FOR FREE.
While the vets are donating their time and equipment, the shelter had to put up a lot of funds up front to get this event off the ground. We are still looking to bring in $10,000 to cover expenses. The shelter just shipped in 100 brand new traps from the states that cost us $9,000 just for those. We are encouraging anyone to please considering donating to this important cause. We need to hit our goal to make this event successful, and to hopefully provide more services like this in the future. If we do not hit our goal this is something that we will not be able to provide every year.
The shelter has had a record number of cats and kittens come in which has caused the shelter to be overcapacity. Our medical costs have also tripled in the last few months just on kitten care alone.
There are various ways you can donate to this event. We do have a Go Fund Me campaign running, you can donate via our website (PayPal), checks can be mailed, credit cards over the phone, or you can stop into the office and donate directly.
We thank everyone for the continued support. We take this very seriously and we are doing our best to handle all the calls we are getting regarding the free roaming cats. We want to thank all the stateside rescues that have stepped up, but we get 10 out just to get 10 more in. We are treading water right now and can only house so many animals in this facility. We cannot take on the care of every feral cat on island and this is our solution. The shelter is now also at full capacity for dogs as of last week.
If you have any questions regarding this event in November please feel free to contact us at 340 774 1625, email info@stjacc.org.
