You can help the HSJC cats and kittens at our satellite cattery get the care and love they need.
Cattery care volunteers at Madison's PetSmart West location are needed for about 2 hours daily anytime between 7:00am-11:00am to help with feeding, cleaning, socializing, and preparing kitties ready to meet potential adopters.
Another need is in the evenings anytime between 5:00-8:30pm, helping wrap up the day feeding dinner, cleaning out cages, and making sure the room is as clean as possible to keep the kitties healthy and ready to be adopted.
- Because of the time and cost required to train volunteers, HSJC requires a commitment to volunteering. Volunteer are asked to commit to a minimum of one scheduled, recurring shift at least twice per month. Shifts vary in length depending on the number of animals.
- Volunteers must be able to read and comprehend policy and protocol information and remember and follow shelter rules.
- Human interaction is a requirement of all volunteer roles. Volunteers are an extension of the HSJC and must always communicate professionally, although this is an independent role and you will usually be working solo.
Volunteers must be 14 years old or older.
- 14-15 years old: must volunteer with a parent/guardian
- 16-17 years old: may volunteer solo with parent/guardian consent
- 18 years or older: may volunteer in any capacity

Mission Statement
The mission of the Humane Society of Jefferson County is to care for the lost, homeless and abused animals of Jefferson County, help place them in forever homes, and work to inspire kinder and more humane communities.
Description
The Humane Society of Jefferson County, Inc. (HSJC), a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, was incorporated on September 11, 1922.
We fulfill our mission through a wide range of programs including companion and livestock animal rescue, adoption services, emergency transport rescue, animal medical care, community spay-neuter services, our Barn Cat Rehoming Project, community outreach and educational programming, and community room rental.
Volunteers are a critical part of making our mission to save the lives of homeless, abused, and unwanted animals possible. Volunteers help support the HSJC in a wide range of ways from helping in the office to representing us in the community, caring for the animals, and even doing tasks around the shelter property. If you're interested in making the lives of animals better, we'd love to have you as a volunteer.
