You can help cats and kittens find homes!
Heaven on Earth holds adoption events every Saturday and Sunday at various Petsmart and Petco locations around the San Fernando Valley. We are looking for cat-knowledgeable volunteers who can help match rescued cats with loving families. Plus, you'll get to pet and interact with the kitties while you're there, too! Duties consist of setup at 11:30am (tables, cages, cats, etc.), showing cats and kittens to the public, and event teardown. As an adoption volunteer, you will also serve as an ambassador for Heaven on Earth by answering questions from the public about our organization and our cats. Don't worry, we will be there to teach as you go! Minimum required time commitment is one Saturday or Sunday a month, from 11:30am to 3:30pm. Of course, volunteering more than one day each month is always welcome! Requirements: You must be at least 18 years old, and able to lift approximately 25 lbs (cages & tables). Please be prepared to be on your feet for a few hours at a time. --------------- Other on-site weekly duties available! The cats who reside at area Petsmarts require daily care (food, water, clean litter boxes, and social time). If you are interested in caring for the Petsmart cats on a weekly or substitute basis, please reference this in your response. Our adoption event locations are in: Santa Clarita Van Nuys Sherman Oaks Tujunga Encino
but we are currently only in need of volunteers who can help us on Saturdays in Santa Clarita and/or Sundays in Encino and/or Tujunga. Thank you, we look forward to hearing from you! :)

About Heaven on Earth
Location:
7342 Fulton Ave., North Hollywood, CA 91605, US
Mission Statement
Heaven on Earth, founded in 2000, envisions the day when there are no more homeless pets in the Los Angeles area. Our programs and events are aimed to rescue cats most at risk for euthanasia and to raise awareness in Los Angeles and beyond.
Description
We fulfill our mission by:
- The Perry MacFarlane Sanctuary, our Cage-free, No-kill Facility. Cats who are with us temporarily awaiting adoption as well as longer-term residents receive quality care and lots of love at our North Hollywood sanctuary, known affectionately as Perry’s Place.
- Adoption Program. Mobile adoption events are held each weekend at several area pet stores, and we host adoption visits at Perry’s Place as well.
- SpayShip Transport Service. Working in conjunction with local spay/neuter clinics, SpayShip provides free transportation and trapping assistance for community and companion cats in targeted San Fernando Valley zip codes.
- Community Outreach. Referral, guidance, support and humane education are central to everything we do, and while we cannot rescue every cat in need, we do respond to each inquiry we receive from people seeking to help them.
