Our Cat Care Volunteers are a vital part of our mission to improve the lives of all cats and provide support and education for the people who care for them. This is a "hands-on" volunteer position, working with and caring for the cats/kittens in our Shelter. Cat Care shifts require some lifting, bending, and other movements to clean enclosures and floors.

If you are interested, you can start the volunteer process by filling out our application here: https://www.volgistics.com/appform/2020648272

About Merrimack River Feline Rescue Society

Location:

63 Elm Street, Salisbury, MA 01952, US

Mission Statement

Our Mission: To improve the lives of all cats and provide support and education for the people who care for them.

Description

MRFRS began in 1992 as a few caring souls who decided to come to the aid of the 300+ free-roaming cats barely surviving along the Newburyport, Massachusetts waterfront. The effort our founders launched was one of the first in the nation to use Trap-Neuter-Return to improve the lives of free-roaming cats.

      Our programs include:

  • Adoption Program: a no-kill adoption center in Salisbury, MA housing up to 60 cats and kittens
  • Feral Program: assistance with feral TNR (trap, vaccinate, neuter, and release) program
  • Sunday Spay/Neuter Clinics: monthly spay/neuter clinics for feral cats
  • The Catmobiles: two low-cost mobile spay/neuter clinics covering all of Eastern MA
  • Foster Program: cats and kittens in need of TLC before adoption
  • FARS Program: assistance with veterinary care costs for owned cats
  • The Captain Courageous Fund for injured feral cats
  • The Bridge Program: provides emergency boarding for cats whose owners are in perilous circumstances
  • Catmobile & spay/neuter resource hotline: refer dog and cat owners across the state to local low-cost spay/neuter services

Since our inception, the MRFRS has assisted over 133,000 cats - placing over 23,000 cats and kittens into homes, spaying or neutering over 14,000 feral cats at our TNR clinics, and over 68,000 cats on our Catmobile.
