Jester is friendly and affectionate and a very smart boy.

He already know some commands, loves to play ball, and will happily sit for you and a tasty little treat.

The featured cat of the week is kernel, a striking boy with a triumphant story.

Kernel is a 2 year old, black and white domestic shorthair cat who is looking for a human who is very cat-savvy with a big heart and loads of patience to help him start a new life.

Kernel is a firestorm survivor with a few visible healed head injuries making him a little sensitive to being touched in that area.

Not to worry though, he's really come out of his shell lately and is showing his personality.

He loves attention and will roll over to show you his yummy tummy!

He's really wanting affection and the security of a peaceful home to help him have a wonderful new life, and he wants you to know that he's worth it.

If your heart and home have room for this sweet boy, please call the jcas shelter to meet him.

Of course, like so many local organizations and businesses, your jackson county animal shelter is busy with the work of rebuilding after the firestorm, so we want to thank our local community for their support.

If you have a little extra to share money, time or supplies please go to the website of friends of the animal shelter, fotas.org, to find out how to help.

One of the most urgent needs is for help in continuing to rebuild our play yards.

These areas are critically necessary to help our dogs have the socialization and exercise they so desperately need.

Every dog is well cared-for, but shelter kennel environment is foreign to them and they need regular daily breaks.

We are replacing facilities and equipment as fast as funds allow.

Check out the site for more information.

All our 2 and 4 legged folks wish you all a very happy holiday season!
