What We Need

Our volunteers accomplish amazing things in Muncie and Delaware county. There are hundreds of cats that need our help everyday. There are many ways you can join in:

  • Fostering
  • Trap Neuter Return (TNR) of community cats
  • At our PetSmart adoption center
  • Fundraising
  • Technology and Social media 

It is really rewarding because it's so fun to just watch them grow so much in such a short time

Foster to adoption program

Our Foster Team

Fosters are essential to what we do at Action for Animals and are deeply appreciated. Foster homes prepare our cats and kittens for their forever homes. We always welcome new fosters.


We require that pets in your home are current with vaccines and do not have any contagious illnesses.  We will help you create a safe space such as a room or large cage for a nursing mother and kittens.


We also ask fosters to be exclusive to Action for Animals. If other animal rescue organizations use the same foster, we can have a difficult time sorting things out if a contagious illness begins to spread, for instance.

Frequently asked questions: foster

How long do fosters care for a cat?

Will someone come to my home as part of the approval process?

How long do fosters care for a cat?

Generally a cat or a mother with kittens is with you between 2 to 4 months, but it depends on the cat. For instance, some are very shy and need time to adjust to new surroundings or time to recover from their spay/neuter surgery.

Will I have to use my own money?

Will someone come to my home as part of the approval process?

How long do fosters care for a cat?

AFA relies on partners and donations. You are welcome to donate the cost of food and litter for your fosters. If needed, AFA will provide those for you. We can also loan a litter box, nesting box, and other supplies. AFA covers the cost of spay/neuter, vaccines, microchip, flea treatment, and medical treatment.

Will someone come to my home as part of the approval process?

Will someone come to my home as part of the approval process?

Yes, the foster approval process includes a home visit.  We want to be familiar with the space the foster cat will be placed in, as well as the people and other animals that are in the household.

PetSmart Volunteers

What They Do

We partner with PetSmart in Muncie to house our adoptable cats and kittens. During their stay, these cats have our dedicated volunteers to care for them everyday. Our volunteers clean out the cages, disinfect all surfaces, freshen the litter boxes, provide fresh food and water, and most importantly give loving attention to the cats.


All of the supplies are provided and each volunteer goes through onsite training. Volunteers come once a week for about two hours.

Technology and Social Media Volunteers

Help with Technology and Social Outreach

Our website and newsletter keep our donors, adopters and the community informed about our goals and achievements. We post news and photos to let our donors know how we are doing. AFA is developing more online outreach and invites those who are tech-savvy to join our team.

Petfinder

Volunteers help us keep our Petfinder listings up to date. We add new kitties as they are ready for adoption, and we remove them from Petfinder when they find their forever homes. Volunteers also respond to potential adopters to help them connect with just the right cat. 

Facebook

We have a lively Facebook presence that keep us connected to the community. Facebook posts help us promote adoptions and important animal rescue information.

Website

The AFA website has just received a great new facelift with a new design and great functionality. Volunteers help us keep it up to date with event listings and photos.

Fundraising Volunteers

What They Do

  AFA survives by the generosity of its donors. There is no physical location other than the PetSmart adoption center in Muncie. All volunteers are unpaid, giving generously of their time and talents. Most of our donors have given monthly or quarterly for years. We also receive grant funds from partners. Fundraising events are another method that we like to have fun with and get creative. We use the donor management platform called Network for Good (NFG) to receive funds from individuals and to manage the donor database. NFG is an excellent platform. 


We are actively seeking volunteers to get involved with fundraising in the way that is the most enjoyable for them. It could be grant writing, donor engagement, fundraising development, and community partnering. The range goes from working with a computer, to making calls on local business for partner opportunities. Our rescue budget is in the range of $48,000-50,000 per year. Let us know what would be the best fundraising volunteer activity for you.
