Need Volunteers: for Petsmart Adoption Center
The City of Saskatoon is experiencing shortages of workers for all types of businesses and it affects the charities as well. Many charities are short of volunteers, even more than usual. Please be proactive in spreading the word about SCAT Street Cat Rescue and the work that we do and our need for volunteers. Two areas that are presently in great need are:
ADOPTION CENTER: SCAT cats are in the PAC for two weeks each month. Volunteer just one hour per week to spend time with the cats in the center. Job description: cleanup litter, give fresh water and food, attention to each cat, some playtime and cuddle time, speaking to the public about the program, the cats available for adoption, and our need for volunteers, foster homes, adoptions and funding.
SHELTER: The shelter on the corner of 51st & Faithful is a crucial link to the public. It needs to be kept clean and open for the public to appreciate visiting, spending time with the cats living there, and helping to find homes, fosters, and funding. We are looking for people to help clean. Even a "team" would be great, that way not any one person has to do it constantly and gives everyone time off, while stilling helping the animals out. Cleaning is crucial to the animal's health. Please be there for the cats. Potential volunteers are encouraged to call the shelter at 955-7228 and pop by to pick up a volunteer application and/or to download the application from online at www.quadrant.net/streetcat - Download page. Need Help for Petsmart Adoption Center
Summer is right around the corner, which means that more cats/kittens need to find homes. We are short of people who are able to help take care of the cats when they are at the Petsmart Adoption Center. It's only for two weeks per month. Even if you can just come to spend time with the kittens and cats for an hour once a week, it still would be appreciated by the cats. Give the shelter a call and complete a volunteer application.

ADOPTION OUTLETS...
Faithful Street Shelter and Preston Crossing Petsmart...
Pop by and visit us at the PetSmart Adoption Center at Preston Crossing or check out our Faithfull Street Shelter (shelter hours listed below).
January 25, 1997: the official registration date as a charity. We thank all who have made this possible - volunteers, foster homes, businesses, sponsors, donors - and who continue to support the work we do.
YOU can help!
FOSTER HOMES: Foster homes are the VITAL link between a life on the streets and a safe warm loving home for these wonderful animals. They need YOU - a committed, responsible, reliable foster home - long term or short term - to help us get them off the streets.
FUNDRAISING EVENTS: It's great to talk to people about the lives we save. Join us and build our funds so we can continue our work.
COMMERCE STUDENTS/PROFESSIONALS/MENTORS: Help us make money. Your experience and/or training could greatly help us to make more money and thus help more animals.
COMPUTER PROGRAMMERS: HUGE NEED for easy access, easy use, web base, database for contacting our sponsors, donors, volunteers. It would be a HUGE help. Website design and maintenance.
EBAY?: Anyone willing to try selling stuff for us on EBAY?
ACCOUNTING: As our organization grows, so do our accounting needs.
REPORTERS/PHOTOGRAPHERS: A picture is worth a thousand words (and a few words in a story helps too)! Help us get the word out and save lives.
GARAGE SALE LONG TERM STORAGE: Location to remain set up for the summer would be PERFECT!
TALK IT UP: Spay or neuter! Spay or neuter! Spay or neuter! Cut down on the numbers living on the streets. Spay or neuter!
SO MANY OTHER THINGS ...Just stop by our shelter and spend some time getting to know us and the animals living there. There are so many ways you can help.
EDUCATIONAL LECTURES/TALKS: Videos also available. Enquire at the shelter. |
