Two ways to make a difference
Support the animals with your time or your community.
Volunteer alongside our team, or rally your school, workplace or neighbourhood behind a fundraiser or supply drive. Every hour and every donation helps a rescued animal heal and find a home.
Volunteer with us
Join our compassionate team of volunteers.
Make a meaningful difference in the lives of rescued animals. From socializing kittens and caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles, birds and other small companion animals to assisting with daily animal care, adoption events, fundraising and community outreach, there are countless ways to get involved.
Whether you have a few hours each week or can lend a hand at special events, your time and talents help give homeless animals the second chance they deserve.

Fundraisers & supply drives
Organize a fundraiser or supply drive.
Looking for a meaningful way to give back? Organize a fundraiser or supply drive to support Cozy Critter Rescue and help provide lifesaving care for cats and non-traditional companion animals in our community.
Whether you’re an individual, school, scout troop, church, community organization or local business, your support can make a lasting impact. Every dollar raised and every donated item helps provide food, habitats, enrichment, veterinary care and a safe place for rescued animals while they heal and wait for their forever homes.
