Jefferson County Animal Welfare League

JCAWL operates an "in-the-street" program, for cats. JCAWL helps stray cats, street cats, and poor people who need our assistance to help their cats. JCAWL practices "TNR" ("Trap-Neuter-Return"). According to the website Neighborhood Cats | How to TNR | What is TNR? "TNR is the most humane and effective method known for managing feral and stray cats." In 2022, JCAWL helped two hundred and seventy-five (275) cats or animals, and twenty five (25) individuals or families who needed assistance with their cats or animals. The expense figure for this line of activity is an estimate. Please see Schedule O for an explanation of the estimate.

While JCAWL works with cats, JCAWL will assist with dogs and other animals, spaying and vaccinating to provide the animal a better quality of life. Most of the individuals or families whose animals are assisted are poor financially, socially, and spiritually. By taking care of their animals at no charge, JCAWL assists these individuals and families financially. By working with these individuals and families, helping them with their animals, we assist them socially and spiritually. In 2022, JCAWL assisted with six (6) dogs or other animals (not cats). By doing this, JCAWL assisted six (6) individuals and families who received this assistance with their dog or animal (not cats) at no charge in 2022. The expense figure for this line of activity is an estimate. Please see Schedule O for an explanation of the estimate.

JCAWL also provides food, medical care, and shelter to the cat colonies living in various locations on their own. We also identify people who are feeding stray cats in their neighborhood or on their own property and offer to provide TNR, food, medical care, and shelter. Veterinarians in Jefferson County, Ohio, contact us if they have an owner or cat(s) in need of financial aid or later additional support is needed for the cat(s). In 2022, JCAWL treated or helped with five (5) cat colonies, living on their own. By doing so, JCAWL assisted seven (7) individuals or families who, though not cat owners, were feeding/dealing with stray cat colonies. The expense figure for this line of activity is an estimate.
