Volunteering

Second Hand Purrs is in need of volunteers! Please note, children under 16 need to be accompanied by a parent or grandparent while volunteering. We have lots of volunteer opportunities, including the following:

• SORTING AND MARKING GOODS FOR ANNUAL RUMMAGE

• Open House - Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings and afternoons. This mostly requires assisting potential adopters and socializing cats and kittens.

• Cleaning shifts: The shelter is thoroughly cleaned Monday and Tuesday evenings, Wednesday mornings, Friday mornings, and Sunday mornings. This does require some heavy lifting, going up and down stairs, lots of bending your body—it can be a good work out! Socializing kittens during kitten season is available, as well.

• STAFFING SPECIAL EVENTS

Stop by on any open house for information, view our facility, and fill out our volunteer application.

Whether you can give one hour or ten, we appreciate it! We are a successful shelter because we work as a team. Please contact us to join our team & our mission, 

If you have any questions or would like to know what volunteering all entails, email us at secondhandpurrs@gmail.com .

Foster Homes Needed 

Currently there is a waiting list to get into our shelter. Foster homes allow homeless cats a place to stay while waiting to get their spot at our shelter. 

Do you have room to spare? Become a foster parent with us! Short and long term options available, but commitment is needed.
