VOLUNTEER
We need volunteers!
We are always in need of volunteers!
Are you a cat lover? Do you want to help make a difference for the local feral and stray cat populations? Furball Farm Cat Sanctuary (FFCS) provides housing and rehabilitation for hundreds of previously unwanted and suffering “not my cats.”
Are you at least 18 years old? Do you not mind getting dirty? Our cats pee, poop and puke! Can you commit to a regular weekly shift? We want you and your help!
Our volunteer staff are responsible for the daily upkeep and maintenance of the sanctuary. Without them, we would not be able to offer the excellence in sanitation and care for our 350+ resident cats.
Volunteers are expected to be able to:
Commit to a weekly 3-4 hour morning or evening shift.
Collaborate with each other to most effectively clean and sanitize the premises.
Be subject to cleaning and disinfecting solutions, including bleach.
Take pride in providing a clean and tidy sanctuary for our visitors.
Wear clothing that you don’t mind getting soiled.
Be timely and accountable.
Understand that the premises are livestreamed 24/7 on several platforms.
Be open to constructive feedback.
Tune into our YouTube channel.
To volunteer, you must first visit the sanctuary and mention Volunteering to the staff.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many cats are in the Sanctuary?
Boris says we are caring for 350+ cats.
Can I bring you a cat?
No. We do not accept socialized cats or strays from the public. We only accept cats from professional trappers or other rescues that deem the cat unadoptable.
In what ways can I support FFCS?
- Donations can be made in cash, check, Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, and Cashapp.
- You can donate via our social media platforms on Twitch, Facebook, and Instagram.
- We have Wishlists on Amazon, Target, Walmart and Chewy.
- We can accept stock donations or be designated as a beneficiary in a will.
- Arrange to visit and stay in our Airbnb.
- Weekly volunteer cleaning shifts are always needed.
- Shop our branded merchandise in our Shop
Are all the cats spayed/neutered?
Yes! We have our own on-site veterinary team which provides regular wellness care for our Furballs. We also have a feline sterilization program for the public called the Dr. Beverly Stephenson Spay/Neuter Program.
What can I do if I see stray cats in my area?
Please do not call us. Contact your local animal control or humane society in your area. Reach out to rescues. Utilize social media platforms such as Facebook to post on rescue sites. Please consider spaying/neutering the stray cats in your area so they do not multiply. Be careful approaching any stray cat as you can sustain serious injury and/or illness if you are bitten. If the cat appears injured, you can post on Facebook's MN Cats in Danger.
When do you euthanize your cats?
We prefer not to, but we will euthanize our cats when their life becomes simply existing. Our focus is on their quality of life, their ability to enjoy, socialize and be enriched. We offer surgical, arthritis and cancer care, but when their pain cannot be easily controlled, we will lovingly provide a peaceful and stressless end.
