Review for Karma Cat & Zen Dog Rescue Society, Milltown, NJ, USA
I’ve been involved with this rescue for years and I know that every volunteer is focused and intent on finding the best family for our babies.
Review for Karma Cat & Zen Dog Rescue Society, Milltown, NJ, USA
Four years ago, I was looking for a way to use my spare time wisely and in a way where I would feel useful, helpful, and that would benefit others. I found VolunteerMatch.com and found Karma Cat +Zen Zen Dog was looking for a fundraising coordinator. I applied, I was contacted almost immediately and the rest is history. Since then I have been a Development Director, Board Member, foster for 30+ cats, Adoption Counselor and even had a cleaning shift twice monthly for several years.
I've also seen hundreds of cat go to their forever homes. EVERY volunteer loves and cares for EVERY cat we care for as if it were our own. We love each and every volunteer in the organization and consider one another family.
This was my first volunteer experience and it has been so much more than I expected. I knew that I would love the animals but I didn't know how much I'd love them or how close I'd become to the other volunteers.
If you want to learn how to care for cats and help them find a home, maybe foster or just socialize them (yes- you can sign up just to play with them!!), this is the organization to do it. You won't find a more knowledgeable staff of truly caring volunteers anywhere.
I'm still a volunteer and hope to be for a long, long time!
Review for Karma Cat & Zen Dog Rescue Society, Milltown, NJ, USA
I found Karma Cat + Zen Dog Rescue Society on VolunteerMatch.com. I wanted to be involved with animals but I was concerned about seeing the dark and sad side of rescuing animals so I volunteered to be a fundraising coordinator. I met the Executive Director and I knew that I had found the perfect organization!!
Christie runs her organization with passion, compassion and integrity. The animals always come first. All the volunteers are the nicest people that I have ever met and they all LOVE to take care of the kitties and they all love her and want to be a part of this amazing group of people. We represent our kitties in the best, most positive way and stay away from the horrific pictures and stories that tend to turn people away.
It's been a year and I can't imagine my life without Karma Cat. I have made wonderful friends, learned SO much about rescue, fundraising and how to take care of my own kitties. I can't say enough good things about this organization.
