Just Us Cat Rescue fundraiser set Sept. 25 at 1776 Steakhouse
Just Us Cat & Kitten Rescue, a local 501c3 nonprofit, will host a fundraiser from 4 to 7 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 25, at 1776 Steakhouse.
The restaurant will donate 25% of its proceeds to Just Us; there will be an auction and 50-50 raffle. Just Us merchandise, T-shirts, mugs and note cards will be available for purchase.
Just Us was formed in 2006 with the mission to manage cat and kitten communities in eastern Sussex County. An all-volunteer organization, Just Us serves by performing a variety of functions including rescue, foster, trap, spay/neuter and return.
Just Us also hosts, along with Catnippers of Long Neck, monthly low-cost vaccine clinics. Volunteers socialize and feed feral colonies, bottle feed when necessary, and of course, Just Us will try to find a home for every adoptable cat or kitten. Volunteers are always needed to foster and even bottle feed; training and formula will be provided. Just Us works closely with the Brandywine Valley SPCA, local rescue groups, and a large no-kill shelter in Maryland that accepts adoptable cats and kittens.
Volunteers also operate a program to evaluate cats and kittens for adoption, held Wednesdays at the Brandywine Valley SPCA in Georgetown. Strict standards and protocols are in place to ensure that all cats and kittens taken into the program can be safely adopted.
To learn more or volunteer, call Bob Harrison, Just Us president, at 302-228-7387, or Melissa Aldrich, vice president, 302-260-0528, or find Just Us Cat & Kitten Rescue on Facebook.
Tax-deductible donations made out to Just Us can be mailed to P.O. Box 32, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971.
