VOLUNTEER HELP NEEDED:
We at Cacapon TNR are working our tails off to continue the mission of Trapping, Neutering/Spaying and Returning the MANY outside community WV cats of Hampshire and Morgan Counties. This year has been the most overwhelming so far. To continue helping the community in this way, it takes more than just the physical trapping and transport. There are dozens of tasks we need help with, but most of all we need:
Trappers:
CTNR has just 3 volunteers trapping in the field: Loree, Leslie and Susie. A couple weeks ago Leslie was put on strict bed rest after hurting her hip and the health of our volunteers always comes first. We miss you Leslie and are sending healing vibes every day! So presently we have just 2 volunteers trapping for both counties.
Our clinics are generally held every other Sunday, and we usually schedule trapping Thursday PM, Friday AM & PM, and Saturday AM. If you would like to learn how to use our trapping tools and have a few hours to give every other week, please DM us for more information.
Administrative Tasks:
We get calls, texts, emails and FB messages all day every day regarding requests for help. We need help with general data entry duties like registering microchips, etc. Loree is drowning doing all of this on her own. If you think you could give a few hours a week to respond to the constant requests for help and work with Loree coordinating the scheduling and communicating with caregivers, DM us for more information.
Social Media Volunteer:
Every clinic there are at least a few cats with stories we would like to highlight. We try to remember to take photos and video when in the midst of all the TNR duties, but we find ourselves lacking in the social media/posting/networking/sharing our efforts department. We’re also Gen X introverts that feel intimidated and unprepared regarding social media posting and digital communication in general. If you have some spare time you could put towards volunteering for a worthy cause, love to post on Facebook, daydream about creating compelling content for animal welfare nonprofits and feel generally comfortable using these social platforms to communicate our needs & show off the many ways we are helping our community- please DM us, we want to talk to you!
We need help. It’s that simple, really. In order for us to continue this necessary and meaningful work we really need some additional hands on deck. Please share our post and maybe someone who would like to volunteer their time with Cacapon TNR will see it.
Thank you for helping us continue in our mission to humanely control the overpopulation of outdoor cats through Trap, Neuter, Return
