    Can You Lend a Paw? đŸŸ

    We’re looking for Adoption Counselors to help our students find their forever homes! Our +A students are ready to graduate into loving families, and you can be part of their journey.

    As an adoption volunteer, you’ll play a key role in helping our cats and kittens find their forever homes. Duties includes reviewing applications, conducting adoption interviews, hosting meet-and-greets, and processing adoptions through our shelter program, Shelterluv.com. In addition to adoptions, volunteers feed, tidy enclosures, scoop, provide general care and socialization our students for the duration of adoptions. You’ll act as a matchmaker between cats and potential adopters, making sure each placement is the right fit. Because this role involves working directly with the public, volunteers must have excellent communication skills, confidence in decision-making, and comfort with basic cat handling. Adoption Counselors are also expected to be familiar with and supportive of Kitty Bungalow’s open adoption guidelines and standards.

    Opportunities are available at PETCO in Westwood as well as at various pop-up events. Shifts typically last 2–3 hours, with breakfast served from 9:00–11:30 am and dinner from 4:00–6:00 pm and adoptions held between 12:00pm-4:00pm

    Ready to help our students go from hiss to home? đŸ± Apply today at kittybungalow.org/volunteer-opportunities or email volunteers@kittybungalow.org to request an application.

    ___________________________________________

    Kitty Bungalow is a non-profit cat wellness and socialization facility located in South Los Angeles. Our cats and kittens come from the mean streets of Los Angeles, whether it’s directly from TNR, from the LA Animal Services, or working with our remarkable rescue partners, helping the most vulnerable of felines.

    We offer free TNR services to our local community, helping thousands of cats each year by ensuring they are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and treated for fleas and parasites. This essential work helps control the population of stray cats, prevents disease, and improves overall quality of life for community felines.

    Each year, we intake hundreds of kittens into our Charm School, where our group of volunteers socialize and rehabilitate them. Our dedicated team of onsite volunteers and foster parents care for our "students," using force-free socialization techniques to help street cats transition from 'hiss to home'.

    As a No Kill facility, we believe that working together is how the best life-saving strategies come to be. ​

    As a 501c3, we rely on community support.
