About Just Us
Just Us is a 501 c 3 non-profit, serving Sussex County and was founded in 2006 by Pat Riordan and Kathy Askew, thus the name Just Us! The primary mission is to TNR community cats, trap, neuter and release. A totally volunteer organization, volunteers answer all manner of phone calls during the year, help cats in distress, foster and transport, provide TNR services, help with food. Just Us also facilitates the adoption of cats and kittens that are fostered by volunteers.
Just Us works with long-term partners, the Brandywine Valley SPCA (BVSPCA) in Georgetown, DE and the Last Chance Animal Rescue (LCAR) in Waldorf, MD. We are fortunate to have access to BVSPCA veterinarians and tech staff each Wednesday. Three programs, collectively known as ‘Bob’s Program’, are conducted at the Georgetown facility. Volunteers register cats and kittens for a spay/neuter program, prepare cats and kittens for transport to LCAR for their adoption program, and, manage an evaluation program for future transport candidates. A team of seven assists Bob Harrison, Just Us President, each Wednesday. Ellie Mayhew, President of the Dewey Beach Feral Cat Society, and Clare Mace of Cats Around Town, serving the Ocean View and Dagsboro areas, are among the volunteers who participate on Wednesdays. In 2024, Just Us funded 1,004 spay and neuters at the BVSPCA. Nearly 1,000 cats and kittens were transported to LCAR for adoption opportunities not available in Sussex County.
Just Us also partners with the Cat Nippers of Long Neck, Pot Nets area. With their support volunteers conducted ten low-cost vaccine clinics in 2024, providing services for over 700 dogs and cats. Dates in 2025 are March 9, April 13, May 11, June 8, July 13, September 14, October 12 and November 9; the hours are 11:00 am to 1:00 pm.
