CAT VOLUNTEER - Skokie Adoption Center

C.A.R.E. is a volunteer-driven organization, and we can always use more help taking care of the cats who are awaiting adoption. Volunteers are responsible for cat care at our adoption center on weekdays, weekends and holidays. Devoting time as a CAT Volunteer entails giving up a few hours per week to help the animals at the adoption center. Cat Volunteers pick a regular weekly shift that they can adhere to consistently. At the present time, we are looking for adults aged 18 years and older.

Cat Volunteer tasks cover the day-to-day care of the cats at the adoption center. We have daytime shifts available during the week in addition to evening and weekend shifts. Fill out our quick online application and we will contact you to conduct a brief on-site orientation . After this brief orientation, you will then be trained on the job.

These are the task performed by our volunteers:

• Cleaning and disinfecting cages
• Grooming and socializing cats and noting behavior issues
• Cleaning litter pans and scoops
• Feeding
• Doing dishes
• Doing laundry
• Mopping floors
• Washing windows
• Taking out trash
• Volunteering at fundraisers
• Other opportunities such as Adoption Counselor are options after a probationary period
