Volunteer Requirements

Volunteers aged 5-13 are only allowed to handle cats and MUST be accompanied by an adult. 

Volunteers aged 14-17 may assist with handling animals under staff supervision and MUST be accompanied by an adult. 

Volunteers (and supervising parents/guardians) need to dress appropriately; no dangling jewelry or I.D. badges, thicker pants(these prevent scratches!) are suggested as well as a t-shirt, and close-toed shoes are a must. 


ALL VOLUNTEERS MUST SIGN IN & OUT.

Volunteering is rewarding not only to you but to the animals, you're visiting!
It's also a Feel good kind of thing. Like most of us animals make us feel good, so why not volunteer at the local shelter to get those feel-good vibes and snuggle some animals? 


As you begin to work with an animal, you can see a change in their personality almost instantly. A big chunk of our animals come in as strays and they can benefit so much from someone just reading to them, sitting in their space or even giving them treats,  you will see their personalities come out and they start to shine. You can almost see the change in their behavior instantly. Now, that is something entirely rewarding. 


So why wouldn't you volunteer with us?  

Volunteering Not For You?

Often families and guardians want to get involved and teach those in their care about giving back, but our age restrictions limit their first plan! Consider coming down and reading a story outside of a cat enclosure, or just using one of our pop-up tables for a game of UNO or go fish. 

Complete the Volunteer Application

Please fill out the application in shelter or prior to coming in to volunteer!
