Great Nonprofits

I have served as a foster and a worked at the shelter as a volunteer. I love being a part of this organization because I love to help the cats. Fostering kittens is so rewarding because you know you are helping to save their lives. The people I have met through Town Cats are the most selfless people I know.

I became involved with Town Cats when I found two tiny kittens in the middle of the road in the complex I lived in. I had originally contacted TC to see about adopting out the kittens. Rosi, Town Cats' leader, was incredibly helpful. She gave me worming medication and tips on fostering the kittens until they could be adopted. I ultimately got too attached to the kittens and ended up keeping them. I also began volunteering at Town Cats once a week, cleaning cages and litter boxes, mopping floors, and feeding and playing with the over 100 cats there at the time. The next year, I volunteered to be Santa to take pictures with pets for a fundraising event. While volunteering, I met some wonderful people with hearts of gold. It's amazing to me the capacity for caring the volunteers at Town Cats have. Some of the stories that they could tell about all the cats that move through the shelter could break your heart, or make you weep with joy. Working with the Town Cats volunteers definitely restored some of my faith in humanity, and I value the lasting friendships I made with some of the volunteers I worked with. Town Cats is an organization that is one in a million, and although I do not volunteer on a regular basis anymore, I have nothing but respect and admiration for what they do.
