Searching for summer volunteers to help with cat shelter

San Luis Obispo CA

Description

Searching for summer volunteers to help with cat shelter! The Cal Poly Cat Program is looking for a boost from the community! Being a non- profit, 100% volunteer run program, and full service cat shelter (located on campus), donations are always welcomed but our current need for shelter volunteers is a major concern. As the program is geared for students - “Learn by Doing” provides the students with great learning opportunities and experiences - the challenge comes when the students go home during the school breaks. Cats and kittens don’t go on holiday and with a reduced crew during the summer months it is a struggle to keep the place tidy and the kitties happy and healthy. Shelter duties do take some elbow grease; cleaning cages & litter boxes, sweeping & mopping, and laundry are a few of the chores. After the work is done you can spend time with some pretty great cats and kittens, it’s a win, win for everyone! Since the shutdown during Covid our program has been on steroids; last year 160 kittens were rescued, over 160 feral cats were TNR’ed (trapped, neutered, and released), and 186 adopted. It takes a village to achieve all these amazing goals.
