Volunteer opportunities

VOLUNTEER ORIENTATION

We are excited to talk to you about volunteering at our organization. Please note that as we are not a shelter or a rescue or options for minor volunteers under the age of 18 are limited. The examples down below are some of the major ways our volunteers help. Most roles do require a commitment of at least 6 months. However we do have some positions that are on-call or as-needed.

Please click here and fill out the form if you are interested in volunteering. You can also email info@forgottenfelines.com with any questions.

Laundry Angels

Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to teach our cats how to use a washing machine. Until we crack that nut, pick up a bag of laundry (or two) and they will be eternally grateful. Complete Application here for more information.

Trappers

*Priority Need* If you are looking for a way to be involved hands-on with cats, trapping could be for you. Trapping is the first step in our goal to spay/neuter every unowned cat in Sonoma County. Training for this volunteer role is provided.
-Trappers can work in a family or friend team, or solo.
-Are you persistent? Patient? Determined? Focused? Like the outdoors (rain or shine)? Goal-oriented?
-Requirements: must be able to carry a trapped cat, have a vehicle, be 18+, able to bend/stoop/kneel to traps on the ground. A teen volunteer would need to be in a Trapper Team with their parent/guardian.
-If you are a true animal person, ready & willing to learn, we are excited to train you!

Clinics are held on Mondays and Wednesdays, so trapping takes place Sunday and/or Tuesday afternoons/evenings. The trapper typically holds the cats overnight (in the trap and usually stored in a garage or bathroom),  then drops them off at clinic between 7:30-8:30 am the next morning. Pickup would be later in the afternoon the day of the clinic appointment. Complete Application here for more information.
