Cat Room

You need to be at least 16 to volunteer in the cat room; basically cleaning the cat room and feeding. The cleaning and feeding are done in the morning, so you need to be able to be here between 8-8:30 a.m. Once you are familiar with how the cat room operates, we need volunteers to be in the cat room when we are open for business (11-4:30) to help answer questions from prospective adopters. You do not need to take the orientation class for this position. If you need more information on working with the cats, please contact our front desk at 561-482-8110.
