Furry Friends Farm, a nonprofit cat and dog rescue in Volcano is in need of supplies and volunteers to help rebuild. 😻See below for ways to contribute.

The recent storm completely destroyed the housing for our cat rescue, leaving most of our 30+ kitties without a safe place to sleep. Our biggest priority right now is rebuilding adequate shelter for them.

Monetary donations are greatly appreciated as well as any building materials you may have on hand.

If you are able to volunteer or have materials to donate please call or text 808-990-2200.
