The Cat Connection is a nonprofit cat rescue serving the greater Boston area, and we are opening our own cat shelter in Brighton! Join us in our mission to save the lives of stray & abandoned cats and find them loving homes! The Shelter Care Caretaker will work with the Shelter Supervisor and the Shelter Director to oversee the health and safety of the cats within the shelter. We put high priority on cat care and well-being. Working in a small, busy environment these Caretakers need to have strong interpersonal skills and a willingness to be a team player. This position has to be flexible in the duties and responsibilities to best fit the changing needs of the shelter. Caretakers will be expected to commit to a regularly occurring shift. Responsibilities include: Daily cleaning and sanitation of the shelter according to our protocols Daily care and monitoring of all cats in the shelter Distributing food and washing dishes Scooping litter and cleaning litter boxes Signing up for shifts in advance and reporting for duty on time Using disinfectants and cleaners Sweeping and mopping floors Operating laundry machines We have morning, afternoon, and evening shifts each day, and we couldn’t run the shelter without dedicated and reliable volunteers!

Cat transport

Flexible Schedule | Waltham, MA, MA 02454

Sometimes transportation is needed to get cats to and from the vet, or to and from foster homes. Cats are transported in a carrier or trap, and generally the cat would already be in the carrier or trap at pickup. This job is "on call". Typically for the vet, the cat is dropped off in the am and picked up in the afternoon, but other drop-offs/pick-ups could be various times. The volunteer can do both drop off and pick up or just one. The volunteer will get a few days or a week notice for requests. Transporting cats is a very important step in the process of finding them homes, so you will be helping us out immensely!

Colony Feeders

Flexible Schedule | Brighton & Waltham, MA 02454

The Cat Connection is an all-volunteer cat rescue that saves the lives of stray and abandoned cats. We need new feeders for our feral cat colonies in Waltham (South) and Brighton. We generally feed in the mornings. It takes about 30 minutes. We can use temporary and backup feeders as well as regular weekly feeders. We also need carpenters/handymen to build or repair feeding stations and warm houses for the cats and sometimes help move them. Come help us maintain our colonies and stem the tide of cat overpopulation!

This org is made up of a wonderful group of people intent on taking stray cats off the streets and giving them a safe place to live. TCC has also recently opened a zero kill cat shelter for cat adoption.

I have been volunteering with TCC for about five years. It is a well-run organization and has been a very rewarding experience. There is something for anyone to do who is interested in helping cats!

STAY AWAY-If you want to help with rescue pets don't waste your time here. They drag you around for weeks then decide you know to much and you want to actually do something on a daily basis not sit around waiting for the sky to fall. Go someplace where you can be appreciated and enjoyed. Your better off! Let's just say they lost a great volunteer!!!!!
