Volunteer at the Cypress Feline Rescue

We need your help! Taking care of hundreds of homeless cats and kittens is a huge undertaking. We work hard round the clock, but our arms alone can only stretch so wide. There are multitudes of tasks that continually require attention such as feeding, cleaning litters, cleaning cages and food/water bowls, socializing and spending time with the cats and much more!

We need your help to accomplish these things with as much time, detail and attention as our cats deserve. We simply cannot keep up with all the small details on our own. If you even have an hour once a week, it is an hour that some sweet cat will appreciate. We would be grateful for whatever you have to offer us as far as time and attention for our furr babies.

If you are interested in helping at the Cypress Feline Rescue, please contact us or simply fill out our Volunteer Application below!
Thank you so very much for your consideration.
