Want to help care for orphaned kittens in our neonatal nursery? Our nursery cares for approx 100 kittens and mom cats at any one time, and they require around the clock bottle feeding and care. Our nursery is staffed almost entirely by volunteers and if we don’t have enough volunteers to feed the kittens we can’t rescue them from the shelter. Nursery volunteers can sign up for shifts any time of the day or week, and we literally need hundreds of volunteers to keep the nursery running!

Description
San Antonio Pets Alive! (SAPA!) was founded in 2012 to help address alarming euthanasia rates in the city. SAPA! is unique-it is the only high paced, high-volume rescue in San Antonio, saving 6,000 at-risk cats and dogs annually.
Since its inception, SAPA! has saved more than 64,000 dogs and cats. SAPA! provides safety nets for the dogs and cats that fall through the cracks of all other lifesaving options and end up on the euthanasia lists, often with just hours to be saved. SAPA! promotes the availability of these dogs and cats to other rescues, adopters and fosters.
