GET HANDS-ON TO HELP HOMELESS PETS!

Volunteer: Can you donate time each week to assist us with kitty care, socialization and cleaning? Volunteers are needed for this important duty, twice a day, 365 days a year! We request a one shift per week commitment. If you are 18 or older, you may volunteer on-site; volunteers ages 12-17 can volunteer on-site with a parent or guardian during that shift. Help OARS with fundraising and other special projects.

Please email coordinator@orphananimalrescue.org to see how you can assist!

Foster a homeless pet: Fostering is a rewarding experience that saves lives. We need more foster homes – simply put, the more foster homes we have, the more pets we can save. All it takes is a little time, love and a spare room.  We prefer that foster cats are cared for in a separate space than your personal cats.  OARS provides food and medical care for the foster pets. To inquire about fostering cats, please email info@orphananimalrescue.org.

Promote Spay and Neuter programs!  It’s the only way to effectively address pet overpopulation and ultimately save lives.  Check out the Spay Me Clinic!  Their website offers details about their transport program from Madison, WI to the Fox Valley.  Their clinic offers high-quality, low-cost services for pets.

Donate pet-themed crafts! OARS is happy to accept pet-themed crafts or other homemade goods to sell at expos and events. We’d encourage you to include a business card or brochure with your items so we can acknowledge you and your business. Some people have made blankets, hats, mittens, scarves, dog coats and pet toys. Please contact us at adoptions@orphananimalrescue.org if you are interested in contributing.

Host a supply drive at work, school, church or anywhere else! We’re always in need of litter and high-quality foods for the animals in our care. We often have sick, nursing or baby kitties who need canned food. See our complete list of needed items on our Wish List
