General area where you live: Northeastern Massachusetts

What things you would be willing to do to help a cat rescue: I can assist with transport

Are you willing to travel and if so, how far?: Depending on the circumstances, up to 300 miles, ROUND TRIP.

Any other thoughts about rescuing or any limitations: I cannot foster or keep any cats overnight, and as I work 45 hours a week, my assistance would have to be provided on a weekend.

I wish I could do more, but I figure every bit helps.

SOMETIMES pregnant/nursing moms

No car, nor license, so not far unfortuately

Sometimes I can't take kittens in, it is depending on if I am working and how many I may already have. I already volunteer for a cat rescue and am the ONLY bottle raiser at the moment.

Animal Friends Rescue Project pulls cats and dogs out of high kill shelters all over northern California, they do some amazing things. I can't promise anything for them but I thought I would put down their information here. Check out their website as well for more information.

*They have many volunteers that bottle feed, foster, place animals, they are VERY pro medical and don't euthanize just because of a medical problem.

General area where you live:

What things you would be willing to do to help a cat rescue:
Pick up/transport kitties
Foster kittens for a short time (less than a week)
Foster injured/sick kittens needing medication
Bottlefeed kittens (no nursing moms please)
Loan carriers
Help w/ trapping and taming ferals
Drive long distances/round trip (but may need gas money)


Are you willing to travel and if so, how far?:
Anything within 5 or so hours we can do on short notice ( NW Arkansas, South Missouri/Kansas, Northern Texas, anywhere in Oklahoma)
Longer trips are possible depending with a few weeks notice and funding (we have a pretty fuel-efficient car, but still gas is expensive)


Any other thoughts about rescuing or any limitations:
We have five (possibly six) cats now, so can't take in anymore. I have some limited experience working as a veterinary assistant, so I can measure medicines and care for light wounds and such. We can keep kittens in the bathroom/bathtub, but adult cats are a little more of a problem. We have no way of quarantining cats, so we can't really foster any kitties who are contagious.

Not at this time.

Any other thoughts about rescuing or any limitations:

If I'm able to foster, it will only be one cat at a time, unfortunately. We've got quite a houseful at the moment, as we keep getting adopted!

I'm also willing to help with fundraising. I've worked as a professional fund raiser in the past.

What things you would be willing to do to help a cat rescue:

Doesn't hurt to ask about anything, currently we have no space to foster after keeping Autumn when she came home for a couple of weeks, but I can ask the foster moms at the shelter if they can help so don't rule it out.

Are you willing to travel and if so, how far?:

Yes, as much notice as possible and weekends are better as we share the truck and he works pretty much all week.

Any other thoughts about rescuing or any limitations:

Nope

What things you would be willing to do to help a cat rescue:
transport, VERY temporary rehoming [would have to be in the bathroom, quite a small room.]

Are you willing to travel and if so, how far?:
up to 2 hours roundtrip

Any other thoughts about rescuing or any limitations:
gas money contributions by the adopter would be appreciate, altho not required, by any means.
i live in a small 927 sq. ft. home w/5 resident cats. the only rooms w/doors are the bathroom & the laundry [which is off limits to kitties
]. therefore, rehoming, even temporarily, is limited to keeping the cat in my bathroom, which is just large enough for the tub, toilet & vanity/sink area... not bad for a kitten, size-wise, but way too small for an adult for any length of time.

  • Foster kittens and cats (5 at a time, for up to a year)
  • Hand-raise/bottle feed kittens
  • Transport supplies
  • Transport animals to fosters/vet/etc

  • Post ads (newspaper, online, etc)

What things you would be willing to do to help a cat rescue: Collaborate through the organization I work with, Prince Georges Feral Friends, SPCA. Teach about advocating for animal issues. Help with forming and building small organizations to find local resources and leverage them for cats.

Are you willing to travel and if so, how far?: Within an hour of Washington DC generally, but this is negotiable, for me.

Any other thoughts about rescuing or any limitations:I believe that what we badly need today is leaders, who learn by doing and then pass it on so no one is overwhelmed. And working in a good group is a lot more fun than going it alone!

Transport
Pick up cats from bad situations

Limited travel options, can't go more thanabout 100 mile radius UNLESS it's to south alabama to which I make about four trips a year, and could make a drop off or pick up part of my trip. Oklahoma is a maybe, since I sometimes make trips there as well.

Financially limited. Also, I live in an apartment, so I can't take rescues for more than a few nights, except for ones that can be SAFELY limited to one room, such as young bottle-feeding kittens.
