 Our organization president, Pam Draper, has been announced as Leidos' top volunteer for the third quarter of this year! Her hard work has earned Dewey Animals a generous charity grant.
Pam has ben volunteering with Dewey Animals for thirty years. Founded in 1993, Dewey Animals is a non-profit organization run by a network of unpaid volunteers who support trap-neuter-return efforts for feral cats to reduce the birth of unwanted kittens, reduce the intake at shelters and thus reduce the euthanasia rate at the shelters. The organization also fosters cats and kittens and facilitates adoptions to forever homes. Pam reflected on her work with Dewey Animals saying, "Successful placement of kittens and cats into loving homes and rescuing community cats from urgent medical situations is quite gratifying. Seeing cats we have rescued in loving homes where the people and cast are wonderfully happy brings incredible joy to me." Congratulations Pam and thank you for your dedication to volunteering!
We have an urgent need for volunteers to feed and play with kittens from September 28th through October 2nd.
Several of our foster homes will be on scheduled leave and unscheduled medical leave at the same time and we're looking for reliable volunteers who can visit the kittens at least once a day in Centreville to feed, water, and play with them while their foster parents are away. Volunteers who can foster these kittens in their home during this period will also be considered. We are also in search of long term foster home(s) for adolescent kittens. Veterinary care is provided and food can be provided if needed as well. Foster applicants must have reliable transportation and be able to bring their kittens to adoption events every other week at the Chantilly PetSmart. If you are interested in fostering please fill out an adoption application and put 'FOSTERING' as the answer to 'Which cat or kitten are you interested in?' If you are interested in volunteering for short-term fostering or caring for the kittens in their current foster from September 28th thru October 2nd please contact us using this form. |
