My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Jesse is a very sweet and loving boy...And has the silkiest fur you may have ever felt!

Jesse was born outside and was living with some other cats outside a vacant house. The person feeding the cats found out that the house was soon to be rented, so knew she had to start finding spots for them. She brought Jesse inside and has fostered him to get him acclimated to living inside. Understandably he was scared and disoriented at first but has made good progress.

Jesse is about 2 years old, and does well with other kitties.

His future adopter will need to be patient with him as he learns to trust, and adjust to a new home. Once he trusts, he's VERY affectionate, so it will be worth it!

In one of the pictures, Jesse is with another one of the colony cats named Darla. If you're interested in adopting two cats, Jesse and Darla would be a great pair!

If you have questions, email adoptions@freedomfences.org.

Additional adoption info

This Application is the first step in a process that we anticipate will culminate in the placement of a healthy and temperamentally-sound animal into your home as a new family member. Steps two and three respectively, will be a veterinary check (your veterinarian will be telephoned and asked about your previous record of treatment and care of your pets) and a home check, where a member or representative of (Colleen Crossan or Patrice Shearin) will visit your home to ascertain the suitability of the living quarters for your new pet and to suggest any safety features that you may not be aware of in providing a safe and secure home for your newest member. All members of the household as well as all other pets must be present for this visit. Please don’t view this as judging. We simply want to ensure that the pet is going to a great home. A virtual home visit can be arranged.

More about this rescue

Anderson, Oconee and Pickens Counties in South Carolina euthanize tens of thousands of dogs every year. Freedom Fences was co-founded in 2010 to try to reduce those numbers. We find ways to educate owners and help them provide better homes and living conditions for their pets. Today we are a 501C(3), tax free, not for profit charity run by volunteers who:

Identify dogs living outside on short or encumbered chains, often with inadequate shelter and/or nutrition
Offer kennels to owners at no cost, enabling the dog to benefit from freedom of movement within a generous safe space
Pre-screen and then follow up to ensure the services we provide are being used according to our agreements with the pet’s owners
Advocate for strong anti-tethering laws, enforcement of responsible pet ownership and accountability of local civic leaders responsible for animal welfare

In 2014, we opened The Wag Shack. This small, no-kill shelter and our small network of foster families focus primarily on neglected dogs that have been surrendered or are at immediate risk of euthanasia in a local shelter. For these dogs, we:

Ensure that fundamental veterinary care, including spay or neuter, is completed
Rally benefactors and/or caregivers for our dogs with more serious health issues
When possible, offer and certify local adoptions
Focus on transporting the dogs in our care, as fast as possible, to no-kill partners in other states where spay and neutering laws have created more homes than dogs available
Recognize that every dog that is transferred to a certified rescue partner facility enables us to rescue another in our local community

In 2016 we added cat rescue to our mission.
We have two buildings where we house our kitties – The Catty Shack and Meow Manor. We typically care for 25-30 indoor cats and 10 feral cats.

The cats end up in our care for various reasons — primarily owner surrender, owner passed away, hoarding/neglect situations or strays.
Once in our care we make sure they are spayed/neutered and receive the necessary vaccines and medical attention. Cats receive daily care and love in a cage-free environment.

Our goal is to find a loving forever home for each of them. Ideally we like to find homes locally, but because of the pet overpopulation problem, that is not always possible. Thankfully we have partnerships with rescues up north where they can get adopted much more quickly—so we regularly transport cats there. We receive no compensation for transported cats.
While we recognize that we, a small but mighty band of volunteers, are not likely to be able to change the world, we know that saving one animal will make the world a much better place for that dog.
