    Description

    Kennel Assistants Needed (Willowbrook Petco)

    St. Sophia's Forgotten Felines has cats and kittens living at the Petco in Willowbrook on Kingery Highway. And, we need Kennel Helpers!

    What Would You Do?

    Kennel Helpers are very important people.

    • They check the cats in the cages.
    • They scoop boxes.
    • They fill food and water dishes.
    • They wipe down kennel walls and doors.
    • And most importantly, they Socialize the Cats!

    We want our cats to be healthy, clean, and HAPPY! And we need your help to do it!

    How Often Are You Needed?

    Kennels need to be visited at least once a day. Volunteers sign up for one shift a week, and be expected to be committed to that shift.

    Shifts are morning (prior to 10am) and evening (after 4pm) and are flexible (as in, you can come at any time before 10am, or anytime after 4 on your scheduled day).

    Most people stay at least an hour, but some people like to stay longer (and play with the cats). We're flexible, but the main thing is that the cats are cared for!
