Cat lovers - For Animals, Inc. is looking for reliable, compassionate volunteers who love cats and have about 1 hour of free time in the morning and/or evening to take care of the kitties at our small Adoption Alcove. All you need to do is give food, water, clean cages and spend some time with the cats. If this sounds like something you would like to do, please contact Jean at foranimalsincvolunteers@gmail.com for additional information. We will arrange an orientation for you to do a shift with an experienced volunteer so you can learn our procedures, see where we keep our supplies, and learn about our organization. Because the space is small, volunteers usually cover their shifts alone. Therefore, volunteers must be very dependable. We request that you sign up only for shifts you are confident you can cover, and that you notify us as soon as possible if you cannot make a scheduled shift.

Great for individuals & families. We welcome young people (under 18) who volunteer with one (or both) of their parents.

Our Adoption Alcove is located inside the pet supply store NYC Pet at 218 5th Ave, Brooklyn. The owner of NYC Pet sets aside a small area in the front of the store for us to show adoptable cats on the condition that our volunteers take care of the cats. For Animals, Inc. and NYC Pet are separate legal entities. For Animals, Inc. is a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization.

We have found #foreverhomes for hundreds of cats through this location. When one cat is adopted into a loving home, we have room to take in another, so you are truly saving lives when you volunteer with us. Shift duration is roughly an hour. It might be a little more or less depending on how many cats are at the Adoption Alcove and how messy they are. We need a volunteer every morning when the store opens and every evening roughly two hours before the store closes:

For Animals, Inc. Morning Shifts (arrive when store opens)
Monday - Saturday 9:00 a.m.
Sunday 11:00 a.m.

For Animals, Inc. Afternoon/Evening Shifts (arrive 1.5 to 2 hours before store closes)
Monday - Saturday 5:30 p.m.
Sunday 4:00 p.m.

NYC Pet Store Hours
Monday - Saturday 9:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.
Sunday 11:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.

Thank you!
