CAT AND DOG VOLUNTEER ORIENTATION STATUS – EFFECTIVE OCT. 1, 2020

Please see the event calendar for cat volunteer orientation dates/times.  Dog volunteer orientations will resume at a later date.

READY FOR YOUR HOME: RENO & MIAMI

Do you prefer sunrises to sunsets? Do you love to be the owner and caretaker of precious and rare desirables? Do you wish that every day was filled with sunshine, funtime, frolic and folly?

If these are some of your greatest passions, you must meet 6-month-old STAF kittens, Reno and Miami. You may be thinking that there are plenty of orange tabby kittens to be adopted, but these two beauties are females, and they are considered quite rare since only one in five orange tabby cats is a female. Their temperament is rather demure, their demeanor is beguiling, and their desire to run around and provide entertainment is preferential. If you are enchanted by the beauty of ginger-colored cuties that have a passion for play, we have the pair for you!

WONDERING HOW STAF MAKES A DIFFERENCE?

When STAF received the call from the manager of another shelter telling us that a cat was being shot at and needed medical attention that they could not provide, we were more than willing to run to this rescue. James had been living on the dangerous streets and obviously, although he survived by fending on his own and perhaps receiving a few scraps of food here and there, his life was going from bad to worse under his dire circumstances.

As James was rescued and raced to the vet by our volunteer, he was evaluated by our veterinarian and was provided with all of the necessary medical protocols for convalescence; we were not surprised to learn that he tested FIV positive. Knowing that most shelters don’t have a place for cats that test positive, this could have truly been the demise of James. With all of the STAF volunteers on his side, he was treated for his wounds externally, and he was showered with love for his internal wounds having never felt the loving touches he deserved. After all, every animal matters to our STAF volunteers, and we had to let him know that the life he led on the streets was far behind him. We are so proud to share that our boy James recently found his forever home with a wonderful family and as the pictures prove, James tells us that STAF really does make a difference!

RECYCLING COMES TO STAF

STAF not only cares about rescuing dogs and cats and saving lives, but we want to do our part to help save the planet too! We are very proud to share that we have partnered with Rumpke, and we have our very own recycling bin available for the many cans, bottles, delivery containers, and so much more.

Prior to the launch of this great program, many of our volunteers had taken it upon themselves to bring home items that were recyclable, but now they no longer have to worry that these items will be put into the regular trash.

Thank you STAF volunteers for caring and for being a part of this exciting new program to make our world a better place!
