Kitty Caretakers

More Adoption Options for Cats

The PETCO on the east side and PetSmart on the west side features some of our adorable adoptable felines.

You can help our homeless cats and kittens have another opportunity to find a permanent and loving home.  The cats & kittens selected for this program will be able to reside in a specially designed enclosure within the store, 7 days a week.
 
SHS staff are responsible for transporting cats and kittens to and from the store, but SHS volunteers help us supervise and care for them during their stay.  Two caretaker shifts are available seven days a week. 
 
Morning Shifts
Monday-Saturday    8:00-10:00 am
Sunday                    10:00-10:30am
 
Evening Shifts
Monday-Saturday    6:00-8:00 pm
Sunday                    5:00-6:00 pm
 
Caretaker responsibilities include, but are not limited to: cleaning enclosures, changing litter, feeding, medical observations, and providing TLC.

The overall time for each shift is approximately 45 minutes.  We are looking for volunteers who can work with minimal supervision and who are responsible and dependable.  

Training:   

1. Complete a Volunteer Application
2. Attend a Volunteer Orientation Session
   
3. Attend PETCO or PetSmart Training
   

Commitment:

For this job, regularity is immensely helpful.   For example, signing up for every Monday evening in the month, or for the morning shift the third Wednesday of each month, makes scheduling easier for all volunteers involved.
