The Cat Enrichment Team is committed to improving the general living experience of all cats and kittens at Simply Cats. Enrichment activities relieve potential boredom and satisfy the cat’s need for playing and affection. Volunteers provide patience and gentle handling for cats that may otherwise be unable to present well to the public because of environmental stress. This is a structured position that will require specific application and approval.
At the moment, we need some wonderful cat-smart people to provide a nice energetic playtime session for our cats before we close for the day. This posistion is available Tuesday through Saturday from 3-5pm.

Description
Simply Cats is the Tresure Valley's only cageless, no-kill shelter for cats and kittens. We take in and adopt out over 1,000 cats a year. Simply Cats accepts cats and kittens on a space-available basis. We make sure that all of our animals are in excellent health before they are considered available for adoption.
Simply Cats promotes spaying and neutering as a major part of responsible pet ownership and as a means of reducing the overpopulation of unwanted cats. Simply Cats does not practice euthanasia as a means of population control; we euthanize only when there are quality-of-life issues involving a sick or injured animal.
Simply Cats relies on the generosity of our community through financial contributions and donations of food, litter, and time. We are extremely thankful to all who support our organization and its mission.
