There’s nothing more rewarding than giving a homeless, sick or injured animal a second chance at life! You can make a difference by becoming a Critter Crusaders volunteer. The most important skills you’ll need are love and respect for animals.
Being a Critter Crusaders volunteer can be fun and rewarding. The time you spend as a volunteer matters. Whether you sell tickets to one of our fundraising events, or transport an animal to a veterinary visit.
We often need help transporting animals to vet appointments for exams and surgery. If you’re available during regular business hours, or on Saturday mornings, we can use your help!
Fostering - The interaction we have with our local partner shelters and rescues often provides us with other ways to assist the animals. Working through these organizations our volunteers are able to foster animals during their medical treatments, or help at an adoption event.
We are often invited to speak at events to educate the public on what we do. If you enjoy public speaking we need your talent!

Mission Statement
Critter Crusaders exists to support the Health, Welfare and Adoption of animals at the Cedar Rapids Animal Care and Control shelter and reserves the right to assist other shelters and rescues by special request.
Our mission is to provide medical and surgical treatment that will lead to the restoration of health and adoption for our shelter animals.
We also facilitate placement of animals that do not adopt through the CRACC shelter into foster-based rescues as an alternative to euthanasia.
Description
Critter Crusaders of Cedar Rapids provides funding for projects that enhance the welfare of the animals at the Cedar Rapids Animal Care and Control shelter. Our ongoing project is the financial support we provide routine vetting of all animals sent out to rescue organizations. This includes spay/neuter, required vaccinations, de-worming and heartworm testing., and we provide funding for the major medical needs of the shelter animals. We also assist Cedar Rapids Animal Care and Control with shelter needs such as their surgical suite and animal intake room, which we paid for and constructed. We purchased a storage shed for the shelter and, as a result, the space cleared inside the shelter will be utilized for additional dog kennel space. We purchased Kong toys for the dogs and facilitated a fundraising project for the purchase of fleece that was made into blankets for the cats.
