JAMMIE DODGER: Small Kitten. Big “WOW.” Wet Paws.
Breakfast? Wow. A feather toy? Wow. My own tail? How long has THAT been there?!
Hi, I’m Jammie Dodger, a little orange tabby with a face made for a starring role in an animated movie. My slightly crooked lower lip makes me look like I’m forever whispering “wow”—because apparently, being this adorable needed a little extra character.
My story started when I arrived at a feral colony as a tiny, frightened stray. I wasn’t convinced humans could be trusted, but I was convinced dinner was worth showing up for. After about a week of patient care, I made an important discovery: people come with food AND affection. Wow.
Now I happily seek out attention, enjoy being petted, and like being held. I have an independent streak, too—I’m an affectionate little sidekick who still appreciates doing things his own way.
For example, I like to stand in my water bowl. You see drinking water. I see a tiny personal foot spa. Please respect my vision.
At about 3 months old, I’m neutered, vaccinated, healthy, and ready for my forever home. I’m looking for someone who will appreciate my sweet personality, wonderfully expressive face, and slightly unconventional approach to water bowls.
A family of my very own? Now THAT would be my biggest “wow” yet.

Street Paws Mission Statement:
Any animal we come across who finds themselves without a home will not go hungry or unloved. When funds and space allow, Street Paws will take the homeless animal under our wing, notify the proper authorities, network them and try to find them a new home. We will care for and provide comfort and aid to homeless pets in a variety of ways. If the animal is tame, we will network to find a home for them. If the animal is feral, we will feed and care for the animal in their own environment. Every action will be taken to provide the animal(s) with a proper diet and bedding. Spaying and neutering these ferals is of great importance to us. We will do what we can to ensure the feral population will be kept to a minimum. We also seek to educate pet owners about the importance of spaying and neutering, annual vaccinations and the importance of a true commitment to their pet as a family member to help ensure their pet does not become another homeless statistic as well.
Our current activities include:
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) for semi-feral and feral cats. We work to get all the animals sterilized so that the overpopulation and spread of diseases is averted. Food and water stations are set up to maintain the colonies. We do not release animals that are sick or not healthy. All cats are given rabies shots prior to release. We have now sterilized 351 kitties as of February 2017. After the recommended post-op period is completed then the feral is returned to their colony. A volunteer Colony Caretaker is assigned the task of providing fresh food and water daily to ensure the quality of life for the returned ferals.
Food and water program for stray, semi-feral and feral dogs. The food and water program is a network of volunteers working to sustain homeless animals that still await rescue. We supply feeders with food, when available. Volunteers drive to stations, replenish food and water and collect field data to assist with caring for the animals until a permanent solution can be found. The feeding program is critical to the animalsâ survival, as well as their health and well being while they wait to be humanely trapped, spayed and neutered and rehabilitated.
Education- Street Paws, Inc. has developed specific information about the practice of Trap-Neuter-Return of feral felines, spay/neuter, heartworms, vaccinations and a new dog fact sheet and disseminate this information via our website, flyers, and education for children in schools. We have partnered with the Southern Crescent Habitat for Humanity to provide animal welfare education to new homeowners on a quarterly basis.
As of February 2017 we currently have 12 dogs, 2 puppies and 15 cats, 6 kittens in our foster program. We have multiple cat colonies at this time (currently 11 colonies and apx 50 cats) in very populated areas such as Waffle Houseâs, Skybox, Childrenâs Healthcare, Sun Suites, a cemetery, Marathon gas station, Mobile gas station and Burger King. We rescued 117 dogs/puppies and adopted out 103 dogs/puppies. We rescued 54 cats/kittens and have adopted out 33/cats/kittens from 2014-2017.
