Volunteer Roles

We know life is busy, so we offer a variety of ways to get involved—whether you can commit to a regular schedule or just a few hours now and then. There’s something for everyone!

Every moment you spend volunteering helps a cat in need. Whether you’re scooping a litter box, giving ear scratches, or helping find a forever home, your time makes a difference.
