Free Websites for NYC Animal Rescues
Small animal rescues in New York City often juggle many tasks with limited resources, and building a website is usually a low-priority item. A new partnership between website builder B12 and Bodega Cats of New York offers free B12 websites to 25 rescues selected in the first round, with applications opening on September 15. The program removes the cost of building a site and much of the technical work that can be daunting for volunteer-run groups. Rescues describe their organization to B12’s AI builder, which creates a working site that can be customized by chatting with the AI. The sites can host adoption applications, donation tools, meet-and-greet scheduling, and animal listings. A professionally built website for a small nonprofit can cost between $2,000 and $8,000, while B12 has already built more than four million sites.
Bodega Cats of New York, an independent media brand that documents cats living and working in city bodegas, is the partner behind the program and is releasing a photography book this fall.
