TAILS hosts small, monthly adoption events at the Petco next to Staples and Walmart on Main Ave (650 Main Ave, Norwalk), where we have the cats we have for adoption housed. When we have dogs in our foster homes (we are always looking for fosterers...), we bring them along as well. It is a great opportunity for us to show our animals and drive the message of how important it is to spay/neuter.
We need help with creating a mini-adoption day - setting up tables, crates for foster kitties, putting out paperwork, playing with the kitties (and dogs if we have any) and greeting anyone with questions. We do not expect you to know everything (smile) - and there will always be a TAILS Board Member on site during these events. We are all volunteers so appreciate any time you can donate to us.
These adoption events are the third Sunday of every month from 11-3pm with volunteer shifts from 1045-130pm and 130pm-3:30pm - but if you need to modify those times, just let us know - we're flexible (and appreciative!).
This is a great opportunity to help us out (a lot...) once a month and fulfill that desire to give back - so we hope you will...we welcome the help! :)
Thank you.

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.
