    • Provide daily food and fresh water according to FieldHaven’s feeding guidelines.
    • Clean and sanitize kennels, cages, and living spaces, including litter boxes, bedding, and enrichment areas.
    • Monitor cat behavior and well-being, noting any changes in appetite, mobility, mood, or appearance.
    • Report health or behavior concerns promptly to staff so cats receive timely care.
    • Assist with basic grooming, such as brushing, nail checks, or gentle cleaning when appropriate.
    • Offer socialization and enrichment, including playtime, petting (when appropriate), and providing toys or stimulation.
    • Help maintain a calm, low-stress environment by following safe-handling and stress-reduction practices.
    • Support cleaning and organization of cat rooms, including sweeping, mopping, laundry, and restocking supplies.
    • Follow all safety and sanitation protocols to protect both cats and volunteers.
    • Assist with moving cats between rooms or areas under staff direction, ensuring safe handling and secure transport.
    • Provide friendly communication
