Become a Cat Care Volunteer
Our Cat Care Volunteers play an essential role in supporting our foster felines as those kitties wait for the day they are adopted. By offering your time and compassion, you directly improve the health, comfort, and happiness of cats and kittens in our care.
A Warm & Welcoming Foster Environment
Cat Cove has multiple rooms and communal spaces designed to create a safe, enriching environment for cats and kittens of all ages. Volunteers help us maintain these spaces so they remain clean, comfortable, and full of positive interaction.
Daily Care That Changes Lives
Volunteers provide the essential daily support that keeps our cats thriving:
- Refresh food and water to ensure proper nutrition and hydration
- Scoop and maintain litter boxes for a healthy environment
- Sweep and clean foster rooms and communal areas
- Replace washable bedding and soft items as needed
- Clean cat trees, toys, and enrichment equipment
- Most importantly--offer playtime, affection, and social interaction
Every task, big or small, contributes to the well-being and adoptability of our cats.
Learn Valuable Hands-On Skills
Volunteering is also an opportunity to expand your knowledge and experience in feline care. Depending on your comfort level and interest, you may learn to:
- Bottle-feed newborn kittens
- Administer oral medications
- Provide subcutaneous (sub-q) injections
- Socialize shy or reserved cats and kittens
- Build confidence in animals preparing for adoption
Our team provides guidance and support, helping you gain meaningful, practical skills in animal care.
