It depends on the role. Some opportunities are one-time or occasional; others involve ongoing responsibilities. We are upfront about time expectations before placing anyone. If your availability changes, just tell us!
Yes. Transport help, event support, short-term fostering, and administrative projects often need flexible, as-needed volunteers. Consistency is appreciated, but perfection is not required.
TNVR volunteers may help with trapping, monitoring traps, transporting cats to and from clinics, or post-surgery recovery. Training and mentorship are provided. You do not need to be an expert to start.
We welcome adults (18+) who are reliable, compassionate, and able to follow protocols. Some roles require specific skills (e.g., veterinary credentials, trapping experience, or grant writing). Many roles can be done remotely.
No—many of our volunteers start with no rescue background. We provide guidance and training appropriate to each role. That said, reliability and follow-through matter more to us than enthusiasm alone.
