Together, we can build a brighter future for cats, ensuring they receive the love, care, and family life they deserve.

SAFCC Volunteer Needs
Trappers
Trappers are crucial to our success. We are in need of experienced trappers on the south side of San Antonio to join our Trapper Team. Approved trappers are paid $20 per cat to TNR for those not able to trap.
If you have TNR experience and like to trap, we would like to connect with you.
Fosters
The aftermath of kitten season has our home-based foster care at its limits. We appreciate those who stepped in for our one-time foster program. We are placing this on hold and are looking for long-term fosters or foster leads to help us manage our Community Cat Adoption Program.
Please consider providing shelter to foster cats and kittens so we don’t have to turn lovable and perfectly adoptable cats away.
Helpline
Helpline volunteers are needed to return calls for a half-day shift, once a week. Training is provided and calls are returned at your convenience. Most of our programs are accessed via this very important service we provide to the community.
Retirees are perfect for this position!
Petco/Feeder Cleaners
We could still use a back-up volunteer to come to our Petco location on Austin Hwy on Fridays to tend to the adoptable cats still waiting on their families. This volunteer will be responsible for feeding the cats and kittens, cleaning the adoption cubicles, and provide some attention.
Please fill out a volunteer form and we will contact you to discuss these volunteer positions in more detail.
Event Recap
Barktoberfest
Thank you so much to everyone for coming out to Barktoberfest this year! With your help, we were able to raise $370! We also want to give a special shout out to UTSA’s Accounting Professionals of Tomorrow for all their help in raising these funds. From face-painting, to walking through the crowd collecting donations, each member had a creative, and paw-sitive attitude! We can’t wait to see what next year brings!
National Adoption Week
The Community Cat Adoption Program had a successful National Adoption Week, closing the week with 17 cats adopted, including Fog, a 10+ year old FIV positive male, who we met in February this year. If you follow us on social media, you may already know about Fog and his health journey.
Fog arrived as a scabby, unneutered male with permanently folded ears from years of fighting with other ferals. With professional help, we helped heal his wounds including a bb that was lodged into the skin of his throat, and got him well groomed. Even when his health had a long road ahead, we did not give up on him.
Thank you so much for adopting our cats and kittens and supporting our Community Cat Adoption Program! 17 more cats will spend the holidays with their furrever families!

Cats of the Month: Frosty & Snow
This month, we’re excited to introduce our dynamic sibling duo, Frosty and Snow! These two gentle cats were adopted out as kittens in early 2023, but sadly were left behind when their previous owner moved away. They’re ready to find a forever home that truly appreciates their sweet and loving personalities.
Snow, is the more outgoing of the two, with cute little green eyes and a sleek white-and-black coat. She’s always ready to rub up against you for attention, and cheek scratches are her absolute favorite! Snow loves being near her people and will happily follow you around the house for a chance to soak up all the love she can get.
Frosty, with his distinctive large, round heterochromatic eyes and unique “bowl cut” pattern on his white-and-black coat, is a big, chill boy. While he may be a little reserved at first, he enjoys a good cuddle once he warms up. His gentle, laid-back nature makes him the perfect companion for those quieter moments when you just want to relax with a feline friend.
Frosty and Snow are over 10 pounds of pure affection—extra large for extra lovin’!
They have always been prone to runny eye, ever since they were kittens and upon their return they were severely irritated and stained. With a little TLC and daily eye wipes, they’re looking and feeling much better. If you’re ready to welcome this sweet pair into your home and heart, Frosty and Snow will reward you with double the love, double the snuggles, and endless purrs. They are up to date on their vaccinations, neutered/spayed, and just waiting for that perfect forever family!
To apply to adopt Frosty and Snow, please complete an application at tinyurl.com/ccapadoptions.
