Adopt-a-Condo Volunteers
Adopt-a-Condo volunteers are the heart and soul of keeping the cats healthy and happy. Volunteers in the Adopt-a-Condo program give love and attention to the cats while they clean their living space called a cat condo. Cat condos need to be cleaned on a daily basis...provide fresh linens, change the litter, sweep the floor, etc. Cleaning the kennels not only provides the cats with a place they enjoy living in, it also makes the shelter a warm, welcoming place for visitors.
BENCHS encourages Adopt-a-Condo volunteers to make time to socialize with the cats too! Volunteers can spend time brushing, petting, and cuddling the cats; playing with toys; and building their trust in humans. A cat who is well socialized is happier, healthier, and more adoptable!
Be sure to click Adopt-a-Condo when you sign up to volunteer! You can simply show up at the shelter in the early morning and ask for Diane.
Training: Adopt-a-Condo volunteers are trained in-the-job.
Commitment: We ask that you are able to commit to cleaning the condos on a weekly basis.
Hours: daily, year-round, mornings beginning at 7:30 am
