What does sponsoring involve?

If you'd like to sponsor a cat or dog, please send a donation via PayPal or to our P.O. Box. Be sure to include a note or comment stating which animal you'd like to sponsor. Your donation will go toward medical and general care of that cat or dog. We ask for sponsors for our most needy animals. They require more vet care than most and your help is greatly appreciated.

Our supporters/affiliations

Please support the companies that help support us. Without their help, we wouldn't be able to continue our mission. 

Store volunteers needed

Volunteers are needed to help clean and take care of the cats at PETsMART. You should be able to help with local events, drive adopted pets to their new homes, and/or pick up cats for rescue. Flexible schedule okay. Please e-mail us or fill out an online application under the form/apps link at left. 

Foster and barn homes needed

• A secure, cat-proofed indoor environment (this means no hiding places inaccessible to humans such as holes in walls, and no access to objects or substances harmful to cats).
• Foster cats cannot be permitted to go outdoors, so your windows and doors must be securely screened in.
• A schedule that allows prospective adopters to make appointments to see the cat.
• Approval and cooperation of landlord (if necessary), roomates or other household members.
• Other animals (if you have any) that will tolerate a new cat.
• Ideally, a room with a closing door where the foster cat can be confined and accesible to you until it becomes relatively acclimatized. This is especially important in the case of feral kittens or semi-feral cats whose first instinct is to run and hide.
• If possible, the financial ability to provide food and litter for the animal (this eases our financial burden). However, NAR will pay for all vet services and medications, and we can provide supplies if you are on a fixed income or have limited mobility. Remember that you can get VERY attached to foster cats or kittens, and letting them go can be emotionally difficult. In fact, a lot of foster folks end up adopting their foster cats! But there is enormous satisfaction in the job as well, especially with cats that arrive sick and/or feral (and who would have died or been euthanized by the large shelters) and leave healthy and tame to go to a loving home.
