You Help JCN

Donate Money

Our expenses run to about $1000 per month (or 107,000 yen). Here is a rough idea of how we spend that money.

$450 cat food
$250 vet bills
$100 misc items (new traps and cages, litter boxes, litter, toys)
$100 repair, maintenance, cleaning supplies
$100 average electric and water, and web site bill

We put your donations towards the cost of spaying/neutering, as well as cat food, medicines, and other supplies.

If you would like to designate a donation toward a specific need (for example, spay and neuter only, or towards the care of a particular cat), please let us know.

If you are donating from Japan, you can transfer the donation to our Japanese post office account or bank account.

Help with Shipping

If you are making a quick trip back to the US, we could buy a trap to send to your US address and have you bring it back for us. They are light and hollow. You can fill them with the stuff you are bringing back for yourself.
