VOLUNTEER
Much like we rely on fosters to house and socialize our animals, 9 Lives Rescue Inc relies on volunteers to support our organization. From transporting animals to vet appointments, helping at adoption events, administrative work, fundraising, building cat shelters and just about everything in between, volunteers help support 9 Lives Rescue's mission to find homes for our animals.
We’re currently looking for volunteers for the following areas:
Fundraising: 9 Lives Rescue relies on donations to operate. Fundraising allows us to save the most vulnerable kitties, those that would otherwise be euthanized. Our ideal volunteer would provide annual updates to our supporters, build partnerships that lead to donations, plan and host regular fundraising events, and assist with securing grants. (Anticipated commitment: 2-4 hours/week, plus events)
Health Support Specialist: Our organization handles many aspects of our kitties routine medical care, including administering oral medications and subcutaneous injections, and having a dedicated volunteer would provide great efficiencies. No medical degree is required - we’re happy to have our veterinarian and foster team train the right volunteer! (Anticipated commitment: 2-4 hours/week)
Adoption Fair Coordinator: This person plays a very important role - preparing the space where potential adopters can meet their special kitty. This volunteer would be responsible for preparing kennel cards for the fair, storing and transporting the kennels, tables, and other items needed to and from the adoption fair, setting up, assisting during the fair, helping with adoptions and taking down the fair.
Miscellaneous Duties: We can always use people to provide transportation to fairs and vet appointments, helping us live trap cats and kittens, cleaning cages, filing and data entry, and other duties as needed. (Anticipated commitment: variable, a few hours as needed).
