VOLUNTEER

 Fosters are the heart of The Furry Paws Foster Inn! All  our animals are placed in home environments as we do not have a facility.  Fosters provide love and care, and will take them to medical  appointments as necessary until they choose the perfect forever home.  Learn more on our Foster page! 

Adoption counselors are our first line  in the adoption process. By screening applications and interviewing  potential adopters, they help fosters make great forever-home decisions for our animals. 

Our TNR team plays a vital role in our rescue.

Trap-Neuter-Return refers to trapping community cats, taking them to be spay/neutered and vaccinated, and then returning them to their community, if safe. 

Our TNR team also traps friendly cats and kittens who have been  reported outside by the community which will then be brought into FPFI's  foster program. Find out more going to our TNR Page!

 Have a car? You can help! We rely on  transporters to pick up new animals from local shelters (there is no feeling like that first Freedom Ride!) and help our hard-working fosters  with rides to the vet or events.  

If you have a passion for planning and  people, we need your help! Events work can range from adoption events at  local stores to fundraising, helping us man a booth or assisting at a  restaurant night. 

Volunteers are our heart – funds are our  blood. FPFI takes on often expensive medical cases, and we can only continue doing this work with the support of grants and donations. If  you have a passion for writing and rallying donors, we need your help –  critically.  

Good images get adoptions. By donating  your time and talent, you can help our animals put their best paw  forward or capture images that we can use in marketing/PR efforts to  drive our mission forward. 

 If you have even basic tech skills – or  are willing to learn – you can help with a variety of web-based  activities such as posting our animals on adoption websites, content or web  management, database, or design! In this online world, your skills are critical to keep our pups and purrs visible.  

Writers help us get the word out! From  animal biographies that we post on our website, to newsletters,  marketing, grant writing and more – there are lots of great ways to help  if your passion is the pen (or keyboard). Another great volunteer from  home opportunity!
