Volunteering

Volunteers are always needed, and we are truly grateful for every bit of help we receive!

There are many different ways to get involved, including socializing kittens, keeping cats company, walking dogs, cleaning, helping animals during their recovery from surgery, taking photos, assisting with office tasks, and much more.

There is no such thing as a small job — everything helps towards improving animal welfare, keeping our dogs and cats happy and healthy, and allowing us to help even more animals and support the local community.

For safety reasons, we require all volunteers to sign a liability release form. Children are also welcome when accompanied by an adult, especially for kitten cuddling! Our kitten cuddling sessions take place on Saturdays from 12:00 to 2:00 pm.

Some activities have specific schedules, while others are more flexible. We are open Monday to Saturday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, except Wednesdays, when there are no surgeries and we close at 12:00 pm. However, the animals staying with us still need care and attention every day.

Some volunteer tasks require prior training, which we can provide.

We are always in need of volunteers! Here are some ways you may help:

Foster parents provide temporary homes for kittens, this requires a significant commitment. The length of fostering varies from a couple of days to a few months depending on each individual situation. Learn more about fostering a kitten.

Trap, Spay/Neuter & Return Assistants – No Experience Needed!

We will explain & show you everything to do. Trapping is done early in the morning or late at night, and involves setting out traps and waiting for cats to enter them. Very simple! Just requires a bit of patience. Done in teams of two, you can bring a friend or make a new friend!

Feral Cat Colony Manager

This involves bringing food to a local colony of feral cats. You will also need to be aware of changes, additional cats, or sick cats in the group.
