Jax

The benevolent foundation funds 5 different small charities. One of these, my favorite from the get-go, is the SCARS society. They rescue and rehabilitate animals that might not have the ability to survive. They treat their wounds and provide them with new homes. This is the case with our new cat. This is Jax.

Jax was hit by a car, he miraculously survived and his tenaciousness gave him the drive to limp his way back home. Luckily, his previous owners were able to bring him to the vet clinic promptly. However, they soon found out that they wouldn’t be able to afford the cost of the surgery required for his leg. He was essentially on the chopping block when a last minute call to SCARS saved him. They decided to take him in and pay for his surgery.

After a successful procedure, Jax then stayed with a foster family to await a permanent home. After applying on the website and meeting the foster family, we were able to bring him home a couple of weeks ago. You can barely even tell anything happened to him, aside from some sensitivity on his right side as well as some minor limping from time to time, he is in perfect health. Jax seems to have adjusted to life in our home and is getting along quite well with our other cat.  

It is an interesting experience being on the other side of the charity process. Here is a tangible, first-hand example of what we are supporting. If it wasn’t for SCARS, Jax would not be here today. If we did not bring awareness to SCARS and assist in their funding, they would not be able to give animals the second chance they deserve. Let’s keep up the good work with our foundation and continue to spread awareness of these charities we support throughout the entire year.

Take care everyone.
