SCRUFF (Spaying Capital Region Unowned Feral Felines) is looking for passionate volunteers to help us grow our organization and expand our impact on the lives of unowned and feral cats in our community.
Founded by Dr. Susan Sikule, owner of Just Cats Veterinary Clinic, SCRUFF is a volunteer-driven organization dedicated to helping stray and feral cats throughout the Capital Region. Since January 2007, SCRUFF has helped spay and neuter more than 10,000 community cats! That’s more than 10,000 cats who will no longer contribute to the cycle of unplanned litters, helping reduce overpopulation one cat at a time.
As we continue our mission of Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (TNVR), we are looking for people who want to share their talents, ideas, and experience to help us build a stronger future.
We are especially interested in volunteers with experience or interest in:
Social Media & Communications
Creating engaging social media content
Promoting SCRUFF’s mission, programs, and impact
Expanding our community reach and public awareness
Helping develop our communications and outreach strategy
Board Development & Organizational Growth
Nonprofit board leadership, governance, or strategic planning
Fundraising, community engagement, or public relations
Financial planning, legal expertise, or organizational development
Volunteer recruitment, leadership development, and succession planning
You don’t need to be a cat expert or a veterinary professional to help! We welcome people with fresh ideas, professional skills, and a passion for making a difference.
SCRUFF is an all-volunteer nonprofit, and every contribution of time, talent, and expertise helps us continue our work for community cats.
Together, we can make a difference one cat at a time!
