Volunteer with Cat Care Society!
Volunteers are crucial to the success of Cat Care Society, providing invaluable support to our daily operations and care for cats while engaging the community. Without the help of our nearly 200 volunteers, we simply couldn’t have the impact that we do. We are so grateful for every single person who has helped us throughout our 40+ year history.
If you’re looking to give back, get involved by volunteering at your local shelter! A couple of hours a month can make a world of difference to cats in need in our community.
- Feeding, scooping litter and socializing cats
- Data entry
- Adoptions assistants
- Lobby attendants
- Answering phone calls and checking in with adopters

What Current Volunteers Are Saying
Volunteering for CCS is a great experience. It has allowed me to contribute to the community and feel like I’m making a difference, no matter how small it seems. I always walk away knowing I spent a few hours doing something that was needed that will help the staff working there focus on other important things. And I get to see and pet cats! I encourage people to apply – there are so many different opportunities to help anybody can do it.”.
– Dany T, CCS foster, seminar assistant and shelter organization volunteer
“It feels good to help an organization that you believe in. It's one thing to provide funding, which is incredibly important! But it is also personally satisfying to be able to give my time, energy, and love directly to the shelter.”
– Melissa C, CCS retail store volunteer
“I would recommend volunteering to others because it’s bringing love to an animal and bringing love to a person. It brings more love to the world!”
– Vicky G, CCS volunteer cat socializer
