Don’t feel as if any of our other roles are a good fit for you? Maybe you have something to bring to the table we didn’t list, or just want to be kept informed about future volunteer opportunities. This is the option for you! This all encompassing role involves things from helping clean carriers and putting together out reach kits to maybe helping with graphic design. Sky’s the limit! If you have skills you want to shout out that can be useful to the rescue, make sure to include that in your application 🙂

We consider new fosters on a case by case basis. Preference given to those with experience, those who can care for unweaned kittens, or individuals willing to foster adults.
