If you bring significant experience with felines and if you're a great communicator who loves wo work with diverse members of the public, help cats and customers on alternating Tuesdays, 4- 6pm- weekly or alternating weeks!
As a cat adopters' meet-&-greet volunteer, you would assist members of the public who are either interested in adopting a cat (or kitten) or who are looking for their lost cat.
There's almost no better feeling than assisting in an adoption or redemption!
Cleaning cat condos, helping ensure water for cat and rabbits, and taking out the garbage are also part of the job.
Initial commitment: a shelter tour/ volunteer prep session (one hour, 20 minutes), two training shifts (two hours each), plus at least six additional shifts on alternating Tuesdays 4- 6pm. The six shifts need to be completed within four months of having completed training.
Parent-youth teams welcome: Volunteers who are between 9- 15 years old must be accompanied by a parent at all times (or an adult the parent designates in writing), who also must become a volunteer.
Adults are most welcome too!
Next steps:
1. Complete an initial online application at tinyurl.com/RASKC-Vol-Applic
2. If you are an adult, complete an online liability waiver: https://tinyurl.com/DocuSign4RASKC

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.
