VOLUNTEERING

If you want to join in to help NY's urban street cats there are many ways to participate in the URBAN CAT LEAGUE. There are as many ways to help as there are different kinds of cats.

If you are a get-up-and-go-getter:

1. You may want to learn to trap street cats and help in a very hands-on way
2. Socializing feral kittens is a skill anyone can learn but takes time and patience.
3. You could foster a couple kittens or a street cat for a couple weeks in your home to get them ready for adoption.

If you have a vehicle:

1. You could help transport equipment on a big trapping day
2. You could pick up a cat from the vet after spay/neuter
3. Make a run to pick up a food, litter and/or supplies
4. Pick up a bale of straw for bedding in outdoor shelters

Prefer office work to litter pans?

1. We always need help updating our mailing list for fundraising
2. Follow-up phone calls after adoptions and interviewing prospective adopters
3. Experienced grant writers to help prepare our grant proposals.
4. Help us stamp and stuff envelops at a brochure mailing party.
5. Help tally email orders for our food coop.

Do you prefer to help behind the scenes?

1. Send us a mailing list if you think your group might be prospective donors
2. Convince a friend to adopt a stray rather than buy from a breeder
3. Call a city council member and express your concern about the street cat population in NYC.
4. Tell friends and neighbors about low-cost spay/neuter clinics (Fund for Animals, ASPCA-C.A.R.E.S). Follow-up to prevent another litter of unwanted animals.
5. Organize an office collection for URBAN CAT LEAGUE. Small donations add up. The NY City Opera Chorus raised over $1,000 in small donations.

Too busy to get involved? Donations are always welcome!
