Join The Community Cat Alliance!
Your gift of time can make a world of difference. There a many ways you can help CCA. Start by filling out our volunteer form and our Volunteer Coordinator will discuss your interests and time.
Volunteer. To volunteer, fill out the volunteer form. If you are not sure what you want help with, we are happy to chat with you to find a good fit. You can see what some of the jobs look like below.
Other ways to help:
Donate. All contributions are welcome and help us continue the work for community cats. Donate here.
Foster. We are always looking for foster homes for kittens, so fill out a foster application* if you are interested. The more space we have to house and care for kittens, the more needy kittens we can take in. Just bring your big heart, and we will train you for the rest.
Here are some of the things CCA needs help with:
trapping (usually Sundays, help with large trapping which we do once a month; you pick your schedule);
transport (includes transporting cats and kittens to facilities in Harrisonburg, Front Royal, Berryville or Arlington); can also include helping us transport large amounts of food which we share with caregivers. Very sporadic, as available.
foster care (requires a secure place for kittens of various ages, care and feeding, two-three weeks average fostering time, but can vary);
help with fundraising (thank yous to donors, help with organizing events, facebook fundraising campaigns, 1-4 hours/week);
colony caretaking respite (provide respite for some of our colony caregivers when they go on vacation or otherwise are not able to cover their colony. Provide food, water to outdoor colony cats, 1 hour/day/colony).
These are general outlines and we can certainly scale activities to your volunteer interest.
Are you a People Person? Help Spread the Word
We need help with social media, campaigns, public relations, flyers. If you are love connecting people with causes, you can help CCA.
Volunteers are our most important asset! YOU help us improve the lives of community cats and their kittens. No experience is necessary and training is provided.
*Our foster applications are taken by Shelterluv, where we manage our foster program.
