Rescue runs on people who show up

What volunteering here looks like

People often imagine rescue volunteering as cuddling kittens. Some of it is. Most of it is the unglamorous chain of tasks behind every adoption — and that chain is exactly where a small rescue runs short.

In a rural county, distance is one of the biggest practical barriers we face. A single veterinary appointment can consume half a day of someone's time. Volunteers who can take one of those trips a month materially increase how many cats we can help.

Availability matters more than enthusiasm

Be honest about your realistic availability rather than optimistic. A volunteer who reliably does one task a month is more valuable than one who promises weekly help and burns out by spring. There is no minimum commitment we would rather have than an accurate one.

Roles change with need

Available roles depend on what the organization needs at the time. If what you can offer is not currently needed, we will tell you honestly rather than leaving your application unanswered. We may also come back to you months later when circumstances change.

Who can volunteer

Many roles require no experience with cats at all. Some require a vehicle, some require a computer, and some can be done from anywhere. Minors may participate in some activities with parental involvement and appropriate supervision; tell us your situation and we will be straightforward about what is possible.
