PetSmart West Madison Cat Care Volunteer

You can help the HSJC cats and kittens at our satellite cattery get the care and love they need. Cattery care volunteers at Madison's PetSmart West location are needed for about 2 hours daily anytime between 7:00am-11:00am to help with feeding, cleaning, socializing, and preparing kitties ready to meet potential adopters. Another need is in the evenings anytime between 5:00-8:30pm, helping wrap up the day feeding dinner, cleaning out cages, and making sure the room is as clean as possible to keep the kitties healthy and ready to be adopted. Because of the time and cost required to train volunteers, HSJC requires a commitment to volunteering. Volunteer are asked to commit to a minimum of one scheduled, recurring shift at least twice per month. Shifts vary in length depending on the number of animals present during your shift. Volunteers must be able to read and comprehend policy and protocol information and remember and follow shelter rules. Human interaction is a requirement of all volunteer roles. Volunteers are an extension of the HSJC and must always communicate professionally, although this is an independent role and you will usually be working solo. Volunteers must be 14 years old or older.14-15 years old: must volunteer with a parent/guardian 16-17 years old: may volunteer solo with parent/guardian consent 18 years or older: may volunteer in any capacity
