    Flatbush Cats is a TNR-focused 501(c)(3) nonprofit working to end the cat overpopulation crisis in Brooklyn.

    We can only rescue friendly street cats when they have somewhere to go, so an effective foster program is a crucial part of our mission. We are seeking a volunteer Foster Coordinator to provide oversight and guidance to a growing team of foster caregivers. This is a remote position, Brooklyn preferred.

    • Refer medical issues to our Medical Consultant as needed

    You will be enabling the rescue of friendly cats (by our Community Cats team) from the streets into caring foster homes so they can then be adopted! This is an opportunity to use your love for animals and people by helping us in our mission to reduce the outdoor cat population in Brooklyn. Gain valuable skills and experience, and volunteer with a dedicated team of animal lovers.
