TRAPPING

Trapping is at the heart of our work. If you enjoy being in the trenches, working with lots of different people, and have a sporting nature, then trapping is for you!

If you do not have trapping experience, the best place to become certified is with the Neighborhood Cats TNR Training Workshop, offered monthly, online for $10.

After taking the course, you can shadow a fellow Wildflowers trapper until you feel ready to go out on your own.

Trappers can expect to spend 1-3 hours on trapping day (Sundays and Mondays) (possibly more if needed and able), and be able to release cats they trapped back to their locations the day after surgery (Wednesdays).

CAT CARE

This can be dirty work (gloves provided!), and being mindful is very important to keep everyone safe- but caring for the cats in traps is easier than you might think. It's like being a candy striper to a bunch of kitty patients! A training session will be provided at our holding space in Upper Montclair.

Cat Care shifts will be:

AM. (before noon)

PM. (between 5-8 pm)

Night Owl- after 10pm the night before surgery for food and water removal

TRANSPORT

Once a month we host a mobile vet that does our TNR surgeries. We shuttle cats from our holding space to the mobile van parked only 6 minutes away.

We will need other transport help from time to time to take cats to our full-service vet in Wayne, or other needs as they arise.

SOCIAL MEDIA

There are endless stories to tell, and the cats need us to be their voice. Social Media team members will work together to divide tasks and plan content:

Video Editing
Regular Posting
Fundraising Campaigns
Appreciation Posts
Graphics

FUNDRAISING

We couldn't do anything without fundraising. And we find that people are so happy to give because they really believe in the work we do. The fundraising team will work together to brainstorm and execute fundraising ideas, write grants, and manage our online Merch sales. We welcome leaders to help us grow our fundraising efforts!

TABLING

As part of educating the public about TNR and empathy for cats, we will be out in the community as much as possible, sharing our work and creating relationships. If talking cats for hours while dressed in your favorite kitty garb sounds like a fun day out, then tabling is for you! As we grow this part of the organization, we would love help with:

Seeking community events
Managing the table at the events
Making educational materials
Ideas for interactive tabling (giveaways, games etc.)

ADMINISTRATIVE

If you can't be available to help in person, there are always computer tasks that we could use help with!
