We show adoptable cats at various pet stores located throughout San Jose and Morgan Hill. Volunteers are needed to help our cats thrive in what is typically a stressful environment because happy and healthy cats are more likely to be adopted into loving homes.
As a clean/care volunteer, you will clean cages and feed cats at one of our adoption centers. Shifts usually take around 1.5 to 2 hours and include cleaning litter boxes, feeding cats, wiping out cages with cleaner, changing bedding, and giving cats free time outside their cages. Morning shifts start no later than 10:00am and evening shifts no earlier than 6:00pm. (Sunday evenings can start at 5:00pm.)
Volunteers must be comfortable handling cats, and on occasion, will have to administer oral or eye medication. Volunteers must also be able to climb step stools and crouch for extended periods of time.
This is an on-going volunteer opportunity for those who can commit to at least one shift a week for several months. Minimum age requirement is 18 years of age.

Mission Statement
Town Cats is a non-profit volunteer-based no-kill cat and kitten adoption center/shelter and feral cat advocacy organization dedicated to enriching the lives of homeless cats and kittens in the south Santa Clara county through an aggressive rescue and adoption program, TNR (trap, neuter, return), and public education.
Description
Town Cats works to alleviate the suffering of stray, abandoned, unwanted, and feral cats in Santa Clara County. We sponsor innovative programs to help cats in traditional shelters in our county, as well as community cats who live outdoors. We educate the public about the cat overpopulation problem, and provide people with the tools to become part of the solution. Town Cats supports individuals who want to help through aggressive spay/neuter and cat care programs, and by providing vet care and cat food to low income cat guardians, fosters, or owners. We also find permanent, safe, and loving homes for the homeless house cats and kittens in our care.
