Save Lives, Change Futures

Become a Kitten Foster – Save Lives, Change Futures.


Every year, kittens are born in abandoned buildings, barns, under sheds, or on the streets - tiny lives in need of care. By fostering with Neighborhood Cats Network, you give them a safe, loving space to grow into healthy, happy cats ready for forever homes.


All you need is a spare room and a big heart.  We cover all supplies and veterinary care - including vaccinations, spay/neuter surgery, parasite treatment, and microchipping - and provide training and full support every step of the way.

 

Fostering has never been easier or more rewarding.


Email us at: foster@neighborhoodcatsnetwork.org,  or fill out the application and our foster coordinator will be in touch.

 

Every kitten you foster not only gets a second chance - it creates room for NCN to rescue more lives. Your love, your home, your time: it’s all it takes to save lives and change the future for kittens who need you.

Volunteer

The Heartbeat of NCN

Volunteers are the heartbeat of Neighborhood Cats Network.

 

Everything we do - every life saved, every kitten nurtured, every community cat protected - is made possible because compassionate people choose to show up for cats who need them most.


When you volunteer with us, you become part of a mission that rescues, heals, and transforms lives. Whether you have a few hours a month or time to give regularly, there is a place for you here. You might help at adoption events, transport cats to veterinary or spay/neuter clinics, foster vulnerable kittens, build warm cat cabins, support our TNVRM efforts, or contribute your tech, administrative, or organizational skills behind the scenes.


Each role matters. Each act of kindness creates a ripple effect. From the first bowl of food to a forever home, volunteers are the reason cats are given safety, dignity, and a second chance.

 

By joining Neighborhood Cats Network, you’re not just volunteering- you’re becoming part of a community that believes every cat deserves care, compassion, and hope.

Become A Cat Cabin Builder

Do you have a knack for building and a heart for animals? We need handy volunteers willing to work as Cat Comfort Builders to help us build insulated cat cabins and feeding stations.

 

It’s an opportunity for you to:​

  • Use your building skills to construct cozy, weather-resistant cabins for cats.

  • Create feeding stations to ensure neighborhood cats have access to food and water.

  • Work with a passionate team dedicated to animal welfare.

  • Make a tangible difference in the lives of homeless cats.

No previous experience with animal shelters is required; just a willingness to help and basic building skills are required. We provide all the necessary materials and instructions.

If you’re interested in joining our efforts and making a positive impact in your community, please contact us. We can create a safer, warmer environment for our neighborhood cats. Thank you for your support!​
