Here
are just a few of the benefits of volunteering:
- Be
part of the solution. You'll join a network of hundreds
of thousands of people working to make the world safe and
more humane for all living
creatures.
You'll make the jobs of everyone working for animals a little easier by
lending a hand and spreading the message of responsible pet ownership.
- Get
warm fuzzies. You'll never find a more grateful and accepting
comrade than an animal you have comforted.
Who can't use another loyal support in life?
- Keep
good company. You'll make lots of new friends-and not just
the four-legged kind. Working side by side
with people who share similar
interests can forge
lifelong friendships.
- Meet
the new you. You'll discover skills you never knew you
had, and you may be surprised at what you're
capable of achieving.
- Gain
a new career. You'll learn things that may lead you to
the career-or career change-of your dreams.
Employers and college admissions
officers
look favorably
on time spent in volunteer service.
- Enjoy
a wagging tail, a purr, and a smile. Didn't someone once
say that the best things in life are free?
Give
a little bit.
- Give
a little bit. Donate food, old blankets, towels, or other
needed supplies. Contribute to one of
its special programs.
- Lend
a hand. Volunteer your time. Bathe and groom the cats.
Stuff envelopes for a mailing. Help publicize
an event.
- Find
that special someone. Choose your next pet from your Whisker
City, which has many wonderful
cats, in different shapes
and
sizes, just waiting
for a permanent,
loving home.
- Help
spread the word. Tell your friends about your shelter's
services. Promote animal safety
and responsible
pet ownership.
Celebrate with
us by attending fund-raising
events.
- Be
a responsible pet owner. Keep current identification on
your cat at all times. Spay or neuter your
cat. Always keep
your cat
properly confined or supervised.
In addition to the basics-food, water, shelter,
and veterinary care-give your cat lots of love
and attention.
- Vote
for the animals. Support legislation to protect animals.
Contact government officials
and urge them
to support pro-animal
legislation.
- Be
a hero. Report animal cruelty and neglect as well as injured
or stray animals. You
may prevent suffering and even save a
life.
- Teach
your children well. Instruct children in how to care for
animals properly and
how to treat
them with kindness. Set
an example
by doing
the same.
