We have an immediate need for volunteers in our adoption center at Petco in West Babylon. This would be to feed cats and kittens, and take care of their litter boxes and living area at the store. Most needed time slots are Tuesday mornings and Thursday mornings, but other slots may be available too.
Our rescue group is looking for fosters for cats and kittens to take care of them while we look for their permanent adopters. You supply the love and care and we vet the cats and kittens. We also have a specific need for volunteers to feed, play with and clean cat crates in our Babylon Adoption Pet Store as well as take inquiries from the public from potential adopters. Hours would vary depending on how many volunteers we have. We are also in great need of transporters. Transporter would range from picking up in Wading River to dropping off in Medford where our vet practices or alternately it could be Huntington to Medford and back. We are also looking to expand reach into Nassau and Queens, so that is also helpful if you can transport from those counties to Medford.
Please send an email with your credentials, availability and references. This is a non-paid volunteer position but we do reimburse for certain expenses, depending on what role you provide. A typical example would be vet costs or fuel costs for long transports, food for kittens in foster homes ie, kitten formula.
