Volunteer & Foster Opportunities
Volunteers and fosters are the backbone of any rescue program. Without volunteers, a rescue will not succeed. Whether it is an hour, a month, or several hours a day you can donate, there is a job waiting for you!
We are currently in need of transport volunteers and adoption ambassadors at a couple of our adoption centers. Please click here for more info on transport volunteers. Please click here for more info on becoming an Adoption Ambassador volunteer!

What kind of volunteers are needed?
• Cat Care: Work within an adoption center to care for the kitties daily. Feeding, cleaning and giving them much needed interaction.
• Fostering: We are always looking for responsible, loving homes that can take in a cat or dog for a period of time. These animals need tender loving care while you help them prepare for a forever home.
• Vet Tech Assistants: Assisting vet staff during exams, assist with lab work (including fecals, blood work, UA), administering and helping manage medications and entering medical records into our software.
• Transporters: (taking animals to the vet, from shelters, from the foster home to adoption events, transporting food, etc.) Kennels and leashes provided as well as blankets or towels to protect your vehicle.
• Helping Hands: We would love to bring all of our available animals to adoption events, but often can't due to lack of hands. If you can hold a leash or an animal, we would love to see you there.
• Donation Collectors: Collect new or used items for our animals (newspapers, blankets or towels, stuffed toys, treats) and contact us to pick them up. A great activity for kids and a wonderful way to recycle used items!
• Volunteers for Events & Fundraisers: We plan and organize events throughout the year to raise money for our animals. We always need people to help plan and prepare these events so they are successful.
• Administrative/Clerical: We always need volunteers to help with miscellaneous office projects such as data entry, filing, editing website descriptions, phone calls, bulk mailings, prepping foster and adoption packets; as well as general cleaning of crates, laundry, organizing supplies, etc.
• Specialized Skills: Do you have experience with photography, dog behavior/training, grooming, web design skills, vet tech training, or other specialized skills? If so, we always need additional help in these areas.
We also need small blankets for our Adoption Centers – we like to give one of the blankets from the kitty kennels to our adopters so that the kitties have something familiar for them to feel more comfortable when adopted. Fleece tie blankets (24” x 32”) work great!
