Feral Felines operates on a year-round basis and depends heavily on its dedicated volunteers. The various tasks involved with rescuing, rehabilitating, and finding homes for these cats and kittens require people with a variety of talents who are willing to give freely of their time. The following scenarios will give you a better understanding of how we operate and how you may be able to help us:
Shelter Volunteers
Shelter Volunteers are our most needed type of volunteer. Shelter Volunteers work on a rotating weekly schedule that best suites them. You could volunteer weekly, bi-weekly or even just once a month – whatever works best for you! Shelter Volunteers are responsible for tending to the cats in our care at the shelter. This includes feeding, cleaning litter boxes, keeping the shelter tidy and socialization of our resident cats. When you ask other shelter volunteers, they’ll tell you the job is extremely fulfilling – especially watching first hand a cat who arrived scared and shut down begin to open up, trust humans and accept affection.
Rescue
Typically, once we receive a report of feral cats or kittens, we need local volunteers to trap them and transport them to the Rescue or a foster home. The animals will also require rides to and from the veterinary clinic.
Rehabilitation
Most of these animals will need foster homes arranged for them. These homes must be stocked with food, litter, and other supplies, which also have to be purchased and delivered.
Finding Homes
We rely heavily on our website and Facebook to advertise our adoptable animals and keep you posted on the others. It takes many hours each day to keep both of them updated and also respond to all the inquiries that we receive. However, the advantage of using computers means that volunteers can do the work at any time and from any location!
As you can see, almost anyone can play a part in our operation. The more volunteers we have, the better we are able to respond to the needs of feral cats and kittens in our area. Whatever your interests or personal availability, please CONTACT US to see how you can help
We are always seeking volunteers.
