PET ASSISTANCE FOUNDATION NEEDS VOLUNTEERS

Please consider helping rescued cats find a permanent, loving home by volunteering an hour or so a week to clean cat habitats at Lakewood or Downey PETCO. You can volunteer in the evening or morning. PETCO’s hours of operation due to COVID are 9:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. If you wish to minimize contact with the public, we recommend volunteers help in the morning from 8:00 to 9:00 or in the evenings from 7:00 to 7:45 when the store is closed to the public. However, you are welcome to adapt your volunteer time from 9:00 to 10:00 A.M. or 5:30 to 7:00 P.M. In accordance with safety regulations, we require you wear a mask at all times, use gloves and engage in timely handwashing. We require just one volunteer at a time or two volunteers from the same family. Our goal is to minimize exposure to other people. Basically, it is just you and the cats, and they are deeply appreciative of any attention you can give them.

We are in urgent need of volunteers after months of shutting down the program due to COVID, while somehow managing to help the constant flow of homeless dogs and cats that end up on our doorstep. We welcome all volunteers, including those fulfillingcommunity service obligations. Please Join our team today. The animals need YOU!

If you cannot volunteer at PETCO, please consider fostering a dog or cat while we attempt to place a pet in a loving home. Contact Pet Assistance Foundation by email petassistancefoundation@gmail.com.

About Pet Assistance Foundation

Location:

555-B Artesia Blvd., LONG BEACH, CA 90805, US

Mission Statement

Pet Assistance Foundation was founded in 1955 with the sole purpose of helping stop pet overpopulation and abuse through spay and neuter. We refer pet owners to quality low cost s/n vets through our thirteen branches throughout So. California. We also assist low income pet owners by providing a donation towards the cost of the surgery. We also do adoption/rescue with weekend adoption events in PETCO stores in Rolling Hills, Lakewood, and Downey.

Description

We have an immediate need for cat caretakers! This volunteer activity will involve feeding, cleaning cages and socializing with the cats during playtime. Cat care taking requires about an hour and a half to two hours at one of the above locations.

This is our 64TH year of humane work in Southern California. Come join a group of dedicated, caring people who know that every moment they volunteer results in a positive outcome for an unwanted pet. We take in owner relinquished, homeless and unwanted given up pets-get them any and all medical care they need, get them healthy, happy and friendly. Then, there is the huge moment when we find them a pet parent who will care for them for their lifetime. That's huge! In just a few hours a week, that is what you will be part of. Please reply to petassistancefoundation@gmail.com, or you can call our office at 310-732-1230. Please answer - the volunteers and especially the pets, NEED YOU!
