Trapping Volunteer for Cat's Cradle (dated 6/9/2005)
Purpose and how it helps the organization:
Many people need assistance "catching" cats to send for surgery. Trapping, when done properly, is a humane way to safely transport cats to surgery.

Must be willing to work with people, notifying them of what you are doing and how they can help or hinder the process

Collecting cats for clinics and getting the paper work filled out properly and collecting money if need to.
Cleaning traps and laundry after clinics.

Training Requirements:
We use the methods developed by Alley Cat Allies and will provide training and equipment.
Location of the job:
Anywhere in Rockingham, Page, Augusta, Shenandoah counties.
Benefits to the Volunteer:
Knowing that they are helping end overpopulation and making life better for feral cats.
Time Commitment:
Can vary. Depending on the cats. At least 2hrs. and plus. There are also opportunities to go to clinics, such as the Alley Cat Allies clinic in Centreville for the day.
