Urgent Needs
Work alongside the staff in the lobby during our open hours. Volunteers will greet the public, answer phones/take messages and help with other responsibilities such as: cleaning windows, trash removal, wiping down counters, cleaning out cat rooms and organizing paperwork as needed.
Shifts are 2-3 hours, needed Tuesday – Saturday from 1-4PM.
Always Needed
Each morning, seven days a week, a group of volunteers feeds, cleans the enclosures and loves up on all of our cats and small animals on the lobby floor. Then, after all animals have been tended to, the lobby is swept and mopped.
This position is scheduled each morning, 7 mornings a week from 8am-10am.
This position is the feeding and cleaning of enclosures for the cats in our care who are not yet ready for adoption. Volunteers will be assigned a room that they will be responsible to clean and feed each morning they’re scheduled.
This is a scheduled position mornings from 8AM-10:30AM, needed 7 days a week.
Helping disinfect rooms, kennels and spaces that animals have recently come out of is a constant need to help move animals through the adoption program. This ensures the space is clean and ready for the next animal to take up residence. Also with this position, volunteers can assist in prepping breakfast, help with projects and with the enrichment of our dogs, cats and small animals during/after morning cleaning.
This position is scheduled from 8am-10am/11:30am (depending on enrichment).
