Love cats and don't mind driving?! Paws and Claws is looking for volunteers who want to donate an occasional hour or two to drive rescued animals. The shifts are flexible and you can choose drives that work for you and your schedule. Most transports are picking up felines in Evanston and dropping them off at a vet clinic. Occasionally, we need volunteers to pickup cats from local animal control facilities and bring them to Evanston. Volunteers must have a reliable vehicle and a clean driving record. Donating a little bit of your time will allow our animals to safely get to vet appointments and ensure they are ready for adoption. Please email ashlynn@pawsandclawscatrescue.org or call/text 773-402-9838 if you are interested.
