According the the Merriam-Webster dictionary a volunteer is a person who voluntarily undertakes or expresses a willingness to undertake a service. Forever Home Feline Ranch is a strictly volunteer organization. We don't have any paid staff. We survive and rely on our volunteers. In fact, we are proud of our volunteers and all they have done to help out the cats! We wouldn't be where we are today without our volunteers.

Forever Home Feline Ranch needs your help! Would you like to make a difference in the community and the life of the cats? Help is needed in the following areas:

• Sewing cat mats, dog mats and cat toys
• Offsite adoptions
• Grant writing
• Assisting with fundraisers
• Distributing flyers
• Getting the word out
• Marketing
• Capital Campaign Fund

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer call us at 217-679-1593 or send an email to our volunteer coordinator Marisa: marisa.visel@yahoo.com

Ruby is a 2 year old Black and Tan Squirrel Terrier adopted from the Animal Protective League. She is currently obsessed with a bunny who has been taunting her through the window in the front yard. She does an excellent job of keeping the backyard squirrel and bird free. She is also obsessed with playing with the laser light and will make it known when she is ready to play with it - which is all day. She's really good at agility - if only her mommy could keep up with her. She is continuing to practice her agility skills at Capitol Canine Training Club in Chatham. She's very treat motivated - and loves to eat - anything.

Ruby has two doggy siblings, Newman (a Wirehaired Belgium Waffle Terrier) and Taxi (a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier)... and four kitty siblings - Parker Posey, Veruca, Nelson and Oliver. Ruby's mommy is Diane Lyddon and her daddy is Mark Thoma.

Ruby loves her job as donation dog for the Forever Home Feline Ranch because she gets LOTS of attention... oh, and she helps raise money for all the deserving cats and kittens of the Ranch!
