Do you have an interest in caring for cats indoors, but outside of your home? Louie's Legacy Animal Rescue is looking to utilize space in a pet store in the Plainville, CT area for the purpose of housing cats and kittens that are looking for their forever homes.
Before we finalize a commitment to this store, we need to recruit up to 10 volunteers to care for the pets at this store during their operating hours.
Your duties would include feeding the cats/kittens and cleaning their litter boxes. You could also play with them.
The requirements for this role:
1) Experience handling cats
2) Ability to transport a cat to the vet if he/she is sick. You would use your car.
3) Comfortable with learning new things on a computer. Ideally, we would want someone who is familiar with Slack and Google Docs/Gmail.

Description
Our Story
The story of Louie’s Legacy started in 2006 when our founder Emily met a Basset Hound mix with red fur and different colored eyes living at a shelter with a 99% euthanasia rate. Not long after bringing him home, Louie was diagnosed with heartworm disease. Some suggested taking him back to the shelter, but Emily refused. Louie was more than just a pet. He brought joy into her life and gave her something to care about and love outside of herself. And in the process of healing Louie, she found that he healed her too. Emily soon realized the overwhelming number of shelter animals whose lives were cut short. Louie could have easily been the same. Instead, he became an incredible catalyst for her mission and the inspiration for Louie’s Legacy. Since then, we've saved thousands of
animals and become one of the nation's largest foster-based rescues. Our goal is to save as many animals as possible and to expand our reach to help in even more areas, especially those that struggle with high populations of homeless and neglected animals.
In 2021, we saved the lives of more than 3,200 animals thanks to the generosity of our volunteers, fosters and donors.
