Volunteer
Thanks so much for your interest in volunteering with BFF! We care for many, many cats and kittens daily, so we need volunteers to keep us running consistently and to provide the best care possible. Here are some ways you can help us out:
Feeders and trappers!
Our biggest needs are for feeders and trappers. For the most part, feeders & trappers need to have a car. While everyone else is asleep, feeders are on the streets where feral colonies gather, homeless cats roam, and sick and injured cats suffer. They provide the most important elements of survival: food and water. For truly feral cats, trappers go around Boston, trapping cats and bringing them to the vet to treat medical issues and injuries, and for TNR. Interested in becoming a feeder or a trapper? Contact us!
“There’s nothing like the feeling of seeing Boston’s Forgotten Felines waiting for you to bring them their one good meal of the day and to see the lucky friendly ones get taken off the streets and into loving homes.” – FCW Cheryl
Fosters wanted!
We are in need of fosters. Fosters help socialize cats and kittens so that they are more comfortable with humans once they become available for adoption. Foster homes require a spare room! Learn more about fostering on our Foster page.
Don’t have a car or spare room? Other ways you can help:
- Hold a cat food drive to help feed all of our cats on the streets & in foster homes
- Host a fundraiser to benefit BFF (make your own soaps, candles, or crafts; or sell LulaRoe or Pampered Chef? All ideas are welcome!)
- Share our social media posts of kitties looking for forever homes
- Talk us up to your friends and family who may want to feed or foster
Cat toys at Ritual Arts in Allston! All proceeds go to BFF.
- Participate in the monthly BFF auction to raise money for cat food and vet visits. We accept any and all donations: crafts, gift cards, gifts you don’t want, or any item you find during your spring cleaning. Contact us here if you are interested.
