Are you bright eyed and bushy tailed best after dark? Don't mind a few messes? Love kitties? Then we have the purrfect opportunity for you!
We need occasional late night (anywhere between 9pm and midnight) cat care for two scenarios.
1 - every week we trap and care from 20-40 cats. They stay in the traps and we provide care for them with special equipment. We check them every Monday night after 9pm but before midnight. This entails removing any soiled pads (we have lots of gloves), replacing with fresh, and feeding and watering. This can take anywhere from an hour to two hours. We schedule per month and you can sign up for as few or many shifts as you'd like. This is a great opportunity for a buddy or a solo purrson can handle it as well.
Occasionally, we have cats in need of meds; if we get a sick / injured cat that needs night care, you'll get a text asking if you can help. You have the opportunity to say yes or no.
Must be a minimum of 18 years of age.

About The Meow Mission
Location:
2915 E Mishawaka Avenue, South Bend, IN 46615, US
Mission Statement
Our mission is to: 1) humanely and proactively reduce the free-roaming cat population of northwestern Indiana/southwestern Michigan 2) eliminate the barriers free-roaming cat caretakers encounter with spaying and neutering colony cats 3) educate the community on the merits and methods of trap/neuter/return practices
Description
Michiana faces a problem most communities face - an overpopulation of free-roaming cats. A significant amount of these cats are tame, discarded pets. Feeling compassion, many families (referred to as "colony caretakers") feed these community cats. Unfortunately, a great deal of the cats are found in low-income neighborhoods. Without our intervention, these cats will continue to breed, overwhelming our city’s residents and animal control in a never-ending cycle. With your help, we are able to reach out to these kind-hearted citizens and offer them the financial support needed to spay and neuter our community’s discarded and free-roaming cats.
