Check all that apply:

Foster Program: This is by far the greatest need, the most time commitment and the most rewarding. We need homes where the adoptable cats that we have brought into our system can stay until they are either ready for our adoption facility or they have found a home. There are different types of fosters: adults, moms with nursing kittens, kittens too young to be adopted, bottle-fed kittens, cats needing socialization and sick cats/kittens. We will supply food, litter, and any needed medications or vet care.

Trap/Neuter/Return: This involves helping to trap feral cats that need to be neutered or vaccinated. Once trapping is complete, cats need to be transported and returned, when ready, to the colony.

Mobile Adoptions Program: This involves helping with adoptions at various locations. Tasks include setting up, talking with potential adopters, TLC with cats/kittens, doing adoption paperwork, and cleanup/break down. There are mobile adoption events weekly. They generally last about 4 hours. Shorter shifts are available.

Cat Transportation: This involves transporting cats to vet, mobile adoptions, and foster homes. Also involves helping those in need within our community by assisting with their animal care situations. These tasks can be set up on a schedule if preferred by volunteer or on an as-needed basis.

Rescue/Retrieval: This involves going to local animal controls/shelters and picking up adoptable animals, or retrieving from harmful situations.

Canister Program: This involves placing collection canisters in stores and retrieving the donations 1, or 2, times per month. After donations are collected, the money needs to be counted and then a check written to KittiCo for the amount. Takes just a few hours per month.

Communications: This involves helping with newsletters, mailings, and other types of correspondence, as well as advertising and website monitoring.

Fundraising: This involves soliciting donations and grants for the organization.

Adoption Follow-up: This involves checking back with adopters after a set period of time or to verify neutering. This is something that can be set up on a schedule or done from home. Time commitment varies according to season, but is flexible.

Adoption Screening: This involves talking to perspective adopters who have been referred by the website or advertising and deciding their suitability to adopt one of our cats/kittens. Also involves helping perspective adopters find the right type of cat for their home.

Foster Mentoring: This involves experienced fosters guiding new fosters through the process the first time. May include screening potential fosters, checking homes for suitability to foster, and contacting new fosters about their progress. Our goal is for most current foster volunteers to be available to mentor to keep the time commitment for mentors to a minimum.

General Help: This involves various errands including donation pick-up, food/litter drop off, cleaning of adoption facility, paperwork, data entry. Time commitment is flexible.

Meetings: This involves going to meetings for the various boards and committees/organizations that are required to remain a non-profit rescue group.

Feral Colony Management: This involves time to bring food to a local colony of feral (wild) cats. Also need to be aware of changes, additional cats, or sick cats in the group. Food will be provided.
