Volunteer Coordinator

Position: Volunteer Coordinator

Status: Volunteer/Remote

Hours: Flexible

Location: Kitty Bungalow, Los Angeles, CA 90062

Organization Overview:

Kitty Bungalow is a community cat organization and kitten socialization facility. We focus our attention on providing services for the most vulnerable of felines. Our cats and kittens come from the mean streets of Los Angeles, whether it be directly from TNR, pulling from LA Animal Services, or working with our remarkable rescue partners. Kitty Bungalow provides the community with access to free TNR services, which allows for thousands of community cats to be fixed, receive vaccines and flea treatment, and get returned to the people who care for them. Kitty Bungalow intakes hundreds of kittens each year into Charm School. Our dedicated family of onsite volunteers and foster parents care for our "students" and use fear-free socialization techniques to take street cats from 'hiss to home.' As a No-Kill facility, we believe that working together is how the best life-saving strategies come to be.
