The everyday work
Shelter care is hands-on.
Time with the animals matters, and so does the steady work that keeps their spaces clean, supplied, and comfortable.
Cat care
Make room for calm.
Help refresh litter and bedding, prepare food and water, keep laundry and dishes moving, restock supplies, and spend attentive time with cats.
Questions are welcome
Not sure where to begin?
Email the shelter and staff can help you understand where an extra pair of hands is most useful.
