Volunteer

Be the Change! Not only can you do something to save the lives and reduce the suffering of Japan’s stray and abandoned cats, you can be part of a great group of people. Help us plan events, start TNR projects, get the word out…there are lots of ways that you can become a part of the amazing things that we accomplish every year. And with just a little of your help, this year will be even better. Fill out our volunteer application to get started. We’re currently unable to work out a form on which information can be entered and sent directly. Please copy and paste the following form onto an email, enter your information, and send it to us that way (click on our email address below). Thanks for your patience!
