Adopt A Cat is a non-profit, no-kill cat shelter that cares for the abandoned and relinquished cats of the Greater Houston Area. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and foster homeless felines until safe, caring, and permanent homes are found for them. We are a grassroots organization whose success and growth is a result of caring individuals working together in their communities to rescue cats. We need volunteers who can help with the day-to-day direct care of the cats and the shelter, including things such as: Cleaning Sweeping/Mopping Cage tidying Dish washing Sanitizing surfaces Laundry Cleaning litter boxes Feeding/watering Anyone interested must be comfortable being around and handling cats, as many of our cats are outside of cages and are allowed to freely roam the shelter.

At Adopt A Cat, we know that it takes more than just a roof over a cats head to consider them saved and ready for a new home. Many of our cats were previously strays, or have just left their homes for an extended period of time for what is likely the first time in their lives. We want all of our residents to receive love, comfort, and specialized time that works with their comfort level. Whether that means lap time with lots of pets, playing with wand toys from a distance, or even just staying safely inside of their cage while listening to someone talk about their day, every cat can start or continue the socialization process somewhere. We are looking for volunteers who are comfortable with being around and handling cats who can come in to the shelter and spend time with all of our kitties to help them flourish into the happy and healthy cats we know that they can be. This will also help them to get ready for adoption and entering their new homes. (We'll absolutely understand if there is some bribing with treats and catnip that occurs during the process.)

One of the most important aspects of the shelter is building up and maintaining the health of our cats, and that is accomplished in part by visits to the vet. Unfortunately, our shelter vehicle has been of service to us for many, many years now and the toll of that is starting to show itself. Between the state of our car, the general (and sometimes unexpectedly intense) busyness that comes from the average day, and understaffing, we are relying largely on volunteers to help us get the cats to and from their vet appointments in a timely manner. Outside of assisting in our cats overcoming existing and/or sudden health issues, you will also be helping them get ready to go to their new forever homes, as every cat that we adopt out is spayed/neutered, vaccinated, combo tested, flea treated, dewormed, and receives any other essential medical care that is necessary to get them on the path to recovery. The ideal volunteer for this position: Has a valid drivers license and reliable transportation with room for up to three medium/large sized carriers Can commit to the time necessary to transport the cats to the vet, wait for their appointment to be completed if it is not an overnight stay, and bring them back to the shelter (approximately 1.5-2 hours total) Is comfortable with handling cats
