Thank you for your interest in helping us!

TAILS is raising needed funds by collecting donated items and putting them up for auction on eBay. Everyone gets that gift that they just don't plan on using - or maybe has an electronic device (old iPad, phone, etc) which is new (or nearly so) that is collecting dust - or perhaps knows a company with unclaimed special orders or inventory - well - please help us sell the donated items we have and collect new items and sell on eBay to raise funds for spay/neuter!

As an all-volunteer organization, eBay helps us offset our costs. We have sold items (donated to us specifically for this purpose) on eBay under the handle spaytosave and are seeking help collecting items, listing the items on eBay and/or help organizing collection/drop off days. This can all be done from the comfort of your home on your eBay account by using eBay for Charity and having the proceeds donated to TAILS.

All proceeds go to supporting our Mission (spaying and neutering animals to help end the pet overpopulation problem) and donors receive a tax receipt just as they would at the Goodwill or similar.

Ideally we seek individuals to help with all or part of the list below:

  • Get the word out to the public that we are looking for items to sell to raise funds,
  • Research appropriate venues to approach (individuals, businesses, etc) & ask them for their help
  • Get the items listed on eBay

This is the perfect time of the year to do this as there are so many unwanted items lingering about and businesses with leftover/unwanted/unclaimed merchandise they need to push out before the holiday stuff comes in - all of which might end up going completely unused or destroyed - so why not donate those items to TAILS and help animals?! :)

If you're interested, please contact us and fill out our volunteer application (so we know how to reach you) on our website at www.tailsct.org (click on the volunteer tab) - or email us at info@tailsct.org.

Thank you!

About TAILS (The Alliance In Limiting Strays)

Location:

P.O. Box 2277, Westport, CT 06880, US

Mission Statement

The mission of T.A.I.L.S. is to serve the community as a charitable organization that promotes spay/neutering of animals and provides financial support to humane organizations and individuals in pursuit of this goal. We are dedicated to vigorously promoting and educating the community about the importance of spay/neuter to reduce, and eventually elimnate, the killing of unwanted dogs, cats, and other animals.

Description

TAILS is an all-volunteer, stand-alone, spay/neuter organization based in Fairfield County. Put simply, TAILS funds and promotes spaying and neutering to save dogs and cats from being born into a world where there already aren't enough homes.

Formed in 2001, TAILS has grown each year thanks to the many volunteers who have come out and made our events successful. A tax exempt, 501(c)3 we welcome anyone who cares about our furry friends to come out and help us make a difference!

In November 2014, we took over the cat adoption space at the Petco-Norwalk location at 650 Main Ave (next to WalMart and Staples) and in 2017 we moved into the Westport Petco adoption space as well. Our primary focus is still spaying and neutering... .However, we are not a shelter so rely on our Petco adoption space and foster homes to help save cats we come across during our work on the streets. We desperately need help with fostering cats/kittens and help with our daily cat caretaking at both Petco stores we are in.

For a snapshot of our work (and how busy we are), in 2022 we spay/neutered approximately 650 dogs and cats and adopted 222 cats into loving homes.

We cannot do it without the help of our community. We are all volunteers ourselves - trying to help make our neighborhoods better for our furry friends. Can you help?

Thank you.
