Town Cats is a 100% volunteer run organization.  This means we need many hands to do all the work we do.  We are always seeking committed, enthusiastic and reliable volunteers.  The work Town Cats does is only limited by our volunteer resources.  We need help doing everything from shelter care, data input, foster homes, transport to and from vets, website maintenance, and adoptions.  What ever your interests are, we can put them to work, even if it's just a few hours a month. 

If you are interested in volunteering, please read through the various volunteer opportunities available and follow the instructions below.  If you have a particular skill or desire to do something that is not mentioned below, don't be discouraged.  Let us know what you'd like to do and we'll try to find a way to make that happen.  (for example: construction, graphic design, writing poetry, or photography).

Below are the standard volunteer opportunities for Town Cats. Please indicate what area you would like to help.  Remember, just because it is not listed here does not mean we don't need it.  Please let us know if you'd like to help with something that isn't listed here. 

Our minimum age requirement is 12 years old and we are limited in positions for people this young. We require that volunteers under 18 be accompanied by an adult at the initial training. 

If your child is interested in volunteering for Town Cats, we ask that you be patient as we try to find the best match for him/her.

We often receive requests from teens and adults who need to complete Community Service Hours either for a class for as required by court.  We will happily provide these hours as they are available. 

If you must complete Community Service Hours, please email Town Cats as soon as you are able.  Please tell us how many hours you need to complete and when you must have them completed by.  We will do our best to work with you so you receive as many hours as possible.  Please note, however, that we have a limited number of volunteer positions for Community Service Hours.  The sooner you contact us, the more time we have to work with you to complete your hours. 

Sufi Teaching Story:
Past the seeker as he prayed, came the crippled and the beggar and the beaten. And seeing them, the holy one went down in deep prayer and cried, "Great God, how is it that a loving creator can see such things and yet do nothing about them?"
