I'm a cat-rescue volunteer in the Boston area. We need ALWAYS fosters to provide temporary homes for cats awaiting adoption. Nearly all of our cats are adopted within weeks. All will have been vaccinated, flea-treated, tested for FIV and FeLV, and spayed/neutered prior to placement into a foster home with the exception of extremely young kittens who are too young to have had certain procedures. Rescue organizations provide vet care.
We also need volunteers to assist in trapping stray cats, transporting cats to foster homes and to the veterinarian (most frequently dropping them off in Revere or Medford on certain mornings for spaying/neutering and/or picking them up in the late afternoon/early evening). If you're good with a video camera, we could also use someone to help with video recording/editing (if you're not sure how to edit but are willing to learn, you will be taught).
If you're not in the Boston area but would like to help a similar organization in your area, you can probably find one at www.nokillnetwork.org.

Posted by fotol8yI rescued this little guy about 8 months ago. He has FOPS and though he seems happy while he is near or on me, I think he is in a lot of pain and isn't putting on weight. Very worried about him.
Posted by warebecMy dogs and cats. All rescues, naturally. My boys (the black cats) cuddle together all the time, it's very adorable.

Posted by Falsifiable1Added a Russian Blue kitten to the family. He’s fearless and just a furrball of energy. So far, my two year old cat hasn’t warmed up to him, but its only been a few days.
