At Big Easy Animal Rescue, any of our adoptable rescue cats that are not in foster homes live at our Marigny petshop! Every morning, volunteers come in at 10am to help care for the cats. This includes:

  • Scooping litter boxes
  • Feeding wet food
  • Cleaning and refreshing dry food/water bowls
  • Cleaning cages and changing bedding
  • Sweeping & mopping
  • Administering medication such as topical ringworm ointment, oral pills or liquid medication (only with guidance)
  • Socializing the animals
  • Dog walking, select days only
  • Assisting with our bi-weekly low cost wellness clinic (Sundays only)

We have need for volunteers all days of the week.
Generally, a volunteer will come in the same day each week, for example 10am every Thursday.

Many of our morning weekly shifts are already covered by wonderful volunteers who have been with us for months or even years. However, we can always use more hands! In your response, let us know which day(s) of the week you're available.

About BIG EASY ANIMAL RESCUE INC

Location:

839 SPAIN ST, NEW ORLEANS, LA 70117, US

Mission Statement

Helping New Orleans animals since 2005. After Katrina, there were many loose animals in New Orleans who required immediate care. Big Easy Animal Rescue owner Brenda stepped in and opened her first non-profit petshop and rescue. We are a non-profit, all volunteer rescue group, who rescue, foster, provide medical care and love for abandoned and neglected animals. We are a LGBTQ+ friendly team.

Description

100% of our Big Easy Animal Rescue Marigny petshop proceeds go to funding our rescue work. The petshop is unique because the cats roam freely during the day, getting socialization, love, and exercise, with a higher chance of adoption because they can show their personalities. Dogs are all placed in foster homes, but many fosters turn into adoptions. We work hard to advocate for spaying and neutering, and finance getting community animals fixed. Our bi-weekly, low-cost medical clinic is a resource for our community.
