How Can I Help?

 

St. Francis of Assisi Animal Rescue is a non-profit, 501(c) 3-tax exempt, cat rescue and placement organization.  We depend solely on volunteers, adoption fees and donations to operate; and because we are a non-profit organization, your gift may be tax deductible.

 

Foster A Cat, Dog, Puppies or Kittens
We often have to turn away homeless and abandoned cats and kittens because we do not have enough people willing to foster animals in their houses.

 

As a foster parent your job is to take care of the animal placed in your home. Most are frightened and need some training, all of them need a lot of TLC. We provide the food, vet care, and transportation to the adoption days if you don't care to or can't go. We are a no-kill rescue group, which means we will keep an animal in our program until it is adopted. It may take one week or five months or longer. We try to keep the animals in the same foster home for the well-being of the animal. Sometimes, home placement isn't working for a variety of reasons. If this is the case, then an alternative animal is placed in your home.  Your reward is the sense of accomplishment in helping to save an animal.

 

Become an Adoption Day Volunteer

Adoption Day volunteers help introduce our pets to people who are hoping to adopt. Volunteers provide information about the pet and get to know the prospective adopter to see if they are a good match. Volunteers are generally scheduled to attend one adoption day each month (or more if you wish). 
 

Transport Animals

Occasionall a volunteer is needed to help transport animals to and from veterinary appointments and adoption day events. Volunteers are needed to pick up the animal at their foster home, transport to the appointment, and return them back to their foster home. 
 

Help Us With Our Fundraising

If you can’t foster an animal or commit to helping every month with adoption days, consider helping with one of our many fundraising events.  We can use just about any type of help — from planning and organizing — to advertising — to set up, participation and clean up at the event — to generating ideas for new activities.

 

Pass It On
If you know someone who is thinking about adopting or fostering a pet tell them about us!  Also, tell people why it is crucial to spay/neuter all pets. There are thousands of cats here in Minnesota that are euthanized each year because no one has room for them.

 

Want to volunteer?

Fill out and submit our online volunteer form. A volunteer will try to connect with you within 48 hours.
