Your Time Makes All the Difference

Volunteer with us

FMCA is powered entirely by volunteers. From fostering animals to assisting with trapping efforts, supporting administrative work, and responding when animals need help most, our volunteers are the reason we are able to do what we do.

If you are looking for a meaningful way to give back, we would love to hear from you.

Who Makes a Great Volunteer?

We are looking for volunteers who are dependable, compassionate, and a strong fit for a team-based rescue environment. Successful volunteers are clear communicators, responsive to messages, and able to follow directions carefully — as many tasks involve coordinating with others and following established procedures to keep animals safe and supported.
