                                    SOS Pen Pal Cats
                            VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Reliable volunteers are always needed for the SOS Pen Pal Cat program. We have many opportunities some that just take a few hours a week. Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older. If you can help with any of our volunteer opportunities, please call Peggy Lynch 804-514-7463. We are currently looking for volunteers to help with the following:

CAT TAXI
We need volunteers who can help transporting cats and kittens to and from our shelter in Chesterfield to our vet's office on Patterson Avenue. We need both week day and Sunday drivers. All cats will be in carriers and volunteers to not need to handle the cats.

FUND RAISING AND OUTREACH
Help us raise donations and get the word out about spay/neuter, dog and cat adoption and animal advocacy. Volunteers man our information booths at festivals, and local events. You would distribute literature, talk with people about our program and collect monetary donations.

ADOPTIONS:
Volunteer assist with adoption on Sundays from Noon to 3 PM. We will provide you with training. Volunteers must believe in the importance of keeping cats indoors, advocate against declawing and be comfortable saying "no" to potential adopters. There will be times when you will have to turn down a potential adopter because they would not provide a suitable home.

FOSTER HOMES:
Volunteers temporarily house cats or kittens until they can be adopted.  This is a great way to have the joy of having kittens or a cat without the long term commitment of ownership! It helps the cats by giving them more individual attention and allowing the animal to be socialized in a home environment.

We look forward to hearing from you!
