Want to help cats but also be part of a fun community?
We are looking for volunteers to assist with caring for our adoptable cats by providing food and water, play time, and enrichment! Forever Fortunate Felines is a foster-based cat rescue in the Chicagoland area. The cats cared for by Cat Care Volunteers are located at Petsmart and Petco stores. Volunteers are expected to refill food and water bowls, make sure that cat areas are clean, play with the cats in a safe way, and make sure that our feline friends are healthy and enriched until they are adopted. If you are looking for a very relaxed volunteer position where you get to help rescue cats find their forever home, this is for you!
We want to have fun while we are volunteering! You'll get added to a group chat with all those who volunteer at this location to share pictures, ask questions, and be part of a community.

Description
Forever Fortunate Felines is a foster based cat rescue. Michela Onesti who is the President of Forever Fortunate Felines started her journey into cat rescue when she lost her cat Giles. Giles went outside one day and never returned. Michela searched for years for Giles and during her search, she visited many animal shelters such as Chicago Animal Care and Control. When she saw the number of cats in desperate need of rescue from high kill shelters, she was motivated to take action! And in Giles memory, Michela started Forever Fortunate Felines.
