King County's animal shelter/ RASKC is seeking volunteers to cuddle and care for kitties from the shelter who temporarily reside at Tukwila Petco (near SouthCenter), as they wait to be adopted.
You would give the cat fresh food & water. Clean the kennel, then give loving attention to the animal.
As a RASKC ambassador, you also engage with Petco customers who are interested in cat care or the cat-adoption process. You also maintain the best possible professional relationships with the Petco staff.
Volunteers work a regularly 60-minute shift. At the moment RASKC offers this opening:
Mondays, 5-7 pm, alternating weeks
Thursdays, 9-10 am, alternating weeks
Fridays, 9-10 am, alternating weeks
Initial commitment: Six months, unless you begin in the summer.

Mission Statement
To provide King County with sustainable, cost-effective animal services, which protect people and animals, while providing compassionate animal care. Our organization is built on the cornerstone values of compassion and service. We demonstrate this commitment in the countless hours spent by staff and our RASKC volunteers to save animals' lives at the shelter and in the field. By collaborating with community partners, we are able to expand our programs and resources to provide even greater value to our residents.
