There are tons of ways to get involved with CAT - table at events, collect food donations, trap and transport, plan fundraisers, and much more. We'd love to have you!
Have some extra space in your home and some extra love in your heart? Consider becoming a foster for a cat or kitten looking for its forever home.
CAT is always looking for opportunities to work with organizations, businesses, and individuals in our central Virginia community. Tell us if you have ideas for a partnership!
We have a lot of info to keep track of, including requests for help, donations, volunteers, and more! The data we collect helps us to understand where we can focus our effort and improve our operations. Plus, we are required to report our annual numbers to maintain our non-profit status.
Trapping cats is a little harder than it sounds. Every time we set a trap, we must go back and check the trap several times during the day and night. If you don't mind odd hours and the occasional evening drive, helping us trap and transport cats could be for you!
Love talking to people? We need you at our pet-food drives! Pet-food donations are the lifeline to people who can’t afford to feed large cat colonies or sometimes even their own few cats. We need energetic folks to talk us up at our monthly food drives.
Do you visit area coffee shops, restaurants and shops often? Please take and hang our fliers every time you go! Community bulletin boards get cleaned off monthly or weekly. We need help blanketing pet-food stores, libraries, post offices, you name it, on a regular basis. You can volunteer for a specific area or county.
Have a way with words? Please help us write grant applications, fundraising letters and newsletter articles.
Can’t adopt a cat permanently? Have an extra room in your home? How about becoming a temporary foster parent? We desperately need temporary homes for kittens as they wait to be adopted. We provide food and medical care. You get to enjoy playing/socializing.
You'll receive the latest news on felines in our care, learn about upcoming events, be able to participate in fundraisers and giveaways, and much more.
