I don't work at one but frequent them and support them. The last one I went to reminded me of a surgical hospital at wartime: so much need, much of it urgent, so few resources to meet that need. I expect if you showed up and said I'm available to help at these times, is there anything I could do? they would gratefully accept.

I plan on getting more involved moer locally as well. One day Id love to open a cat rescue shelter in my late sister's name.

I've been impromptu fostering 6 abandoned kittens for a while 🐱

It's tiring, but they're a fun bunch

Get involved with catch and release. Usually it is pretty easy to do. Getting strays fixed is a huge way of helping.

For many years we have rescued drop offs as well as captured strays, got them spayed or neutered. We have fostered kittens and kept several as pets. It can feel hopeless because of the shear number of animals that are dropped off and put down but even capturing a few can make an impact in your neighborhood.

Another thing you can do is get to know your neighbors and talk to them about getting their pets fixed. Let them know you are willing to help. They may be like minded but not know others like them are their neighbors. SN and online tools are great but sometimes we forget that we can just walk down the road and talk to people about things.

We all ❤️ cats here, maybe @SatsCats can help u 🐈

It's only been a month or two that Stacker News has become more than just a bitcoin site, so you might be a little early. I personally have adopted a few cats in my life, but I don't know anything about running an organization like that.

Thank you for supporting local shelters.

Purr-fect place to pounce on is connecting with your local rescue centers and charities, fur sure! They're always in need of extra hoomans to lend a helping paw, volunteering and gathering nom-noms or cozy blankies. 🐾
