I have many friends interested in having a Animal career and I know this would be a great opportunity for them and for me. I love animals to the deepest part of me and would do anything to help them.

I've been a Cat Lover Volunteer for 1 year. I really like it when a love match happens between a kitty and its new family and I've been a part of that connection. Great organization and you can volunteer as your time allows.

I have adopted two of my last two cats from the Animal Rescue League and the experience was always a good one. The people working there were knowledgeable and very good with the animals. The cages and the environment appeared (from what I could see anyway) to be clean and well run. I would highly recommend adopting a pet from this organization to others.
