    Description

    Join Our Cat Rescue Volunteer Team!

    Welcome to our growing cat rescue community! We're seeking dedicated volunteers who share our passion for feline welfare. Here are some of the ways you can make a difference with us:

    • Daily Cat Care and Cleaning: Assist with the essential care of our cats. This is the primary duty of all volunteers and what enables us to keep cats safe and healthy while searching for their forever home! This includes following assigned tasks per shift including feeding, scooping litter, and cleaning condos as well as open floor.
    • Socialization: Spend quality time with our cats and kittens, helping them feel loved and ready for adoption.
    • Fundraising and Partnerships: Research grants, develop corporate partnerships, and organize fundraising events to support our rescue efforts.
    • Transportation: Help shuttle cats to and from vet appointments and our rescue facility.
    • Social Media: Help us expand our outreach and cat exposure via social media by curating posts and helping strategize to grow.
    • Volunteer Recruitment: Help expand our team of dedicated volunteers.

    We value new ideas and initiative. Whether you can spare a few hours a week or more, your help is invaluable to us. Volunteers must be 18 years or older, or accompanied by a legal guardian, and have their own transportation. Must be mobile and able to lift and move items. Must adhere to all policies and procedures.

    If you're interested in joining our cause, please fill out a volunteer application today! Together, we can make a meaningful impact in the lives of cats in need.

    Thank you for considering becoming a part of our cat rescue family!
