During kitten season, we often encounter neonatal kittens who need round-the-clock care because their mothers are absent or unable to care for them. These little ones require bottle feeding every few hours, even overnight.
Join us for a special training session where we'll teach you how to properly bottle feed and care for neonatal kittens (and puppies, too!). Don't worry if you've never done this before—we'll provide all the training and supplies you need. Together, we can give these babies a fighting chance at a happy, healthy life!
Please RSVP: Only 12 seats. Please sign up to attend.
Your willingness to learn and help save lives means the world to us!
Thank you for being a hero to our furry friends in need. See you there!

We love getting new volunteers! We want your volunteer time to be fun and meaningful to you. We also want your volunteer time to be safe. We want you to get started on the right foot, learn about who we are and what you'll be doing as a volunteer, and we want to show you where you'll be working when you come to the shelter. We can make all of this happen by scheduling a Volunteer Orientation. Once you've finished orientation, you can get started right away! Thank you for helping us help the animals!
Fill out a volunteer form here on our website under the Forms tab.
