WE NEED YOU!
New Year, New Goals… Volunteering at HART checks every box! ✅🐾❤️
2-Hour Shifts Available — Lend a Paw!
Office / Gift Shop
Be the friendly face visitors meet when they walk in! Answer phones, help adopters find their future feline soulmate, and ring up gift shop goodies. Your smile truly matters.
Feeding & Scooping Team
Feeding time = happy meows! Help with meals, fresh water, and yes—litter boxes too. Don’t worry, our kittens will happily “supervise,” climb you like a jungle gym, and assist with the digging.
Cleaning Crew
Help keep our cats’ spaces clean and cozy. Tasks include litter boxes, fresh water, laundry, dishes, sweeping, mopping, and cleaning carriers and cat furniture. It’s not glamorous, but it’s where we need the most help—and we’re incredibly grateful for it.
🐾 You won’t be alone—we pair volunteers whenever possible, so it’s more fun and more supportive. Plus, free-roaming cats and kittens are always nearby to “help.”
A couple hours a week makes a huge difference.
Apply today and be part of something truly meaningful. 💛
