Cat Care Assitant

Save to Favorites

Cat Care Assistants work directly with staff to ensure proper care and cleanliness of animal enclosures.

Responsibilities:

Duties include complete cleaning of cages, using proper techniques, cleaning litter boxes and bedding, spot cleaning as needed, and stocking supply areas.

Volunteers work quickly and efficiently to move cats to temporary housing, clean cat caging and equip kennels with clean litter and water for the day.

Volunteers also assist with the maintenance and general cleaning of floors, windows, doors and other surfaces in the cat adoptions ward. This is a very important position, and a great way to gain work experience in an animal shelter environment.

Volunteers may also provide assistance with laundry, grooming, cleaning & distributing toys, and socialization.

Qualifications:

Volunteers must be physically able to handle cats of all sizes and temperaments. Volunteers must be able to follow directions, think quickly and work with minimal supervision. We use walnut litter in the cattery, so those with nut allergies should not apply.
