Fundraisers We’d like to do fundraisers as a group periodically to raise money for 2 nd chance pet adoption This is the facility we got our cats from and we would really love to give back Fundraising ideas?

Fostering I work with a vet who spays feral cats and she is always trying to find somewhere for the kittens to go. I have taken in 10 kittens from her so far and found them good homes. We hope to get some good volunteers who would be interested in doing the same for 1 or 2 kittens.
