A Shared Calendar for Your Animal Rescue
Adoption events, volunteer shifts, foster meetups, vet appointments — synced to every volunteer's phone. No app to download. No accounts for your team.

It's Saturday at 10 AM. The adoption event at PetSmart starts in thirty minutes, but only two volunteers showed up instead of six. The signup sheet was emailed last week, but three people forgot they signed up and one thought it was next Saturday.
A foster family drove forty minutes to meet a potential adopter at the shelter on Sunday at 2 PM, but the adopter thought the meetup was at the dog park. The location was in the email thread, but it got confused in a chain of fifteen replies.
The rescue coordinator spends every evening texting volunteers: "Can you cover the Saturday shift?" "Did you see the transport run for Tuesday?" "The vet appointment for the new intake is tomorrow at 9 — can someone drive?" She adopted this role to save animals, not to be a text message dispatcher.

Here's what animal rescues typically put on their shared calendar:
What this looks like in practice
Lisa, the rescue founder, opens iCalFeed on Monday. She adds Saturday's adoption event at the pet store with the shift times, posts the transport relay for Wednesday's dog coming from out of state, and updates Thursday's vet appointment details. Total time: five minutes.
Jordan, a weekend volunteer, checks his phone on Thursday. He sees "Adoption Event — PetSmart on Elm, 10 AM to 2 PM, Bring Leashes & Treat Bags" on his calendar right after his Friday plans. He packs the supplies in his car Friday night so he's ready.
On Friday evening, PetSmart calls to say the event needs to move from the front entrance to the side patio. Lisa edits the event location and adds a note with which door to use. By Saturday morning, every volunteer's phone shows the updated spot. No confused volunteers wandering the parking lot.
How iCalFeed compares
vs. Email chains
Event details get buried in reply-all threads with fifteen messages. Nobody can find the location.
Clean event details on their calendar — date, time, location, what to bring. Always findable.
vs. Facebook group
Posts get buried under cute animal photos (ironically). Not every volunteer is on Facebook.
Every subscriber sees every event. No algorithm hiding your adoption day.
vs. Shared Google Sheet
A spreadsheet of shifts and events works in theory. In practice, nobody opens it.
Events appear on phones automatically. No spreadsheet to hunt down.
vs. Group text / Slack
Important event details scroll away in minutes. People mute the chat.
Events stay pinned on their calendar. No notification fatigue.
