We are looking volunteers to take care of our cats and kittens that are located at Pet Valu in Island Park. Responsibilities include cleaning, feeding, assessing health, petting/brushing, socializing, and showing the cats. There are morning and evening shifts available each day. Each shift is typically a minimum of 1 hour and requires a commitment of the same day each week.
*We will also have floater positions for those who cannot commit to the same day each week. A floater with cover for someone who is unable to make their shift.
More opportunities with Bobbi and the Strays Inc.
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.

Mission Statement
Bobbi and the Strays' mission is to stimulate interest and concern in the prevention of animal abuse and neglect. To that end, we undertake rescue operations, spay/neuter programs, provide essential care -- both veterinarian administered and volunteer coordinated -- for orphaned, homeless, stray, abused, and special needs cats and dogs. Through rehabilitation, socialization and adoption, we endeavor to provide a humane and humanitarian community service.
Our outreach efforts in the community are second to none: hosting pet adoption days, bringing pet and owner together, establishing forums to educate the public about abuse, cruelty, feral (rescue and TNR), and responsible pet ownership. We also hold special fundraisers to increase public awareness and support.
Description
Bobbi and the Strays Inc. was established in 1998 as a 501c3 non profit animal rescue organization by founder and president, Roberta "Bobbi" Giordano. We maintain partnerships with an extensive network of community and humane groups, including but no limited to veterinarians, active volunteers, local print media, and many other businesses that provide support services. We are also active members of the Mayor's Alliance for NYCs Animals.
