We have KITTENS/CATS being adopted seven days a week in six Pet Supply stores like PetSmart, PETCO, and Pet Supplies Plus. Our partnership with these stores requires a volunteer attend to the cats twice a day. That means 84 volunteer shifts a week. We have more than 200 volunteers at varying levels of engagement and doing different tasks. We need a person to implement the best practices volunteer match teaches on their site, materials, and blogs. We want the best relationship possible with our volunteers.

Getting cats in the condos is a major task. We acquire and evaluate every cat. Vaccinate, and administer preventative medications. We foster the cats through quarantine, medical issues, socialization, and maturity to reach adoptability. We keep thorough computerized records on each cat's health, treatments, vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, and rabies vaccination. We give this complete information record to the adopter, so it must be accurate.

We post the cats to adoption sites, receive, and review each application to adopt. The application allows the potential adopter to indicate areas they want more information on like claw trimming, introducing the new cat to children or another pet, etc. We speak to potential adopters, arrange a "meet and greet" at the pet supply store, and come prepared to address their questions. If it is a good match, we complete the adoption paperwork, including paperwork the stores require and hand off the cat to their new family. Photograph the new family, post to BAND and the process starts all over again.
