Alley Cat Allies is in Bogalusa, Louisiana

Alley Cat Allies cannot operate our rescue and restoration project in the Gulf States without the hard and generous work of committed volunteers. This campaign will continue at least for the next three months, and we will need your help throughout that time.

But DO NOT jump in your car and come on down!
If you want to volunteer with Alley Cat Allies or any rescue group in this area, read what is required of ALL volunteers.

What's In It For You...

This may be the best week of your life. Thereâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s nothing glamorous or fun or easy about this work—but weâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]re saving the lives of the most innocent victims of the storms. You are guaranteed to go to bed at night knowing that YOU ARE MAKING A REAL DIFFERENCE IN THEIR WORLD!
