Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Nose 2 Tail Cat Rescue! We are all volunteers and we wouldn't exist without our dedicated group of people who make a tremendous difference in the lives of the cats and kittens who come through our doors.

​

How it Works

We have regular volunteers who come to our building every morning (8AM-12PM) and evening (4PM-8PM). The starting hours vary by day as we like to work around the schedules of our volunteer's lives.

​

New volunteers will be paired with a current volunteer for training. After a few shifts and if new volunteers feel comfortable, they will be added to the regular schedule. We mainly communicate through a private Facebook group. 

​

Regular volunteers are responsible for EVERYTHING - cleaning, scooping boxes, feeding, giving medication, playing/cuddling with the cats, etc. We all do our part to keep our cats healthy and happy and keep our facility clean!

​

We do not have regular hours, we are by appointment only and we do not allow drop-ins.

​

Please read these important requirements before completing the application:

​

• Volunteers MUST BE 21 years old or older.

• You must commit to at least ONE 2-hour shift a week to be a regular volunteer.

• Attend Nose 2 Tail Cat Rescue orientation, training, and meetings when appropriate.

• At this time we are not allowing required high school or court-ordered community service.

• Nose 2 Tail Cat Rescue reserves the right to decline any volunteer application for any reason.

• Our volunteers come to us with a wide range of personal characteristics. We believe that volunteer eligibility shall be determined without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, or disability.
