Volunteer

Provide short-term accommodations for cats and kittens in need by allowing them to seek shelter in a bathroom or bedroom within your home. All supplies and vet care will be provided, you simply provide food, fresh water, love and attention.

You tell us how much space you have, how many cats/kittens you would like to foster, and what kind of durations are best for your lifestyle (short vs. long term)

We’re looking for kennel cleaning volunteers to help us keep our cats in the Waynesville PetSmart comfortable, cared for, and loved until they’re adopted—and help us keep saying yes to cats who need rescue.

We make cleanup easy! We use disposable food trays and litter boxes, so there’s no scooping or washing dishes. Simply toss the used disposables, clean the kennel, and set it up with fresh items and clean bedding.

We can be flexible with days and times. Tell us your availability, and we’ll work together to find a schedule that fits. Having reliable hands on deck makes such a difference to our small team and the cats counting on us.

Get out into the community and help trap cats to get them the vet care they so desperately need. We’ll teach you everything you need to know about TNR and provide a mentor you can work with one-on-one until you are comfortable going out on your own!

Pick up the cats in Waynesville, transfer them (in traps) into the van, transport to the clinic, and return the van to Waynesville.

Requires that you commit to at least 2 transports per month.

Pick up the van in Waynesville, drive it to pick up the cats in Asheville at the ASPCA, transport back to Waynesville, move the cats (in their traps) from the van to the holding area.

Requires that you commit to at least 2 transports per month.

Visit the cats and kittens featured in the Petsmart adoption center to provide cuddles, socialization, and playtime.

At least once per week on a relatively consistent basis.

Help us set up for events, tear down after events and/or help us during adoption events by answering questions about our adoption process, guiding people through the application process, telling people about our cats and kittens, running short errands during the event, etc.
