Become a Volunteer
 

We always need more help with reaching out and responding to the many needs of the people and animals in our local communities. 

 

Foster homes are always in demand for our homeless felines. 

If you think you might be able to care for a kitty or two in your home, click here for more information

 

Here are some of the ways you could help as a PAWS volunteer:

  • Join our Response Line Team and help to answer voicemail messages and emails

  • Staff our store-front office in Wakefield

  • Help the Lost & Found team get strays and lost pets back to their families

  • Maintain our online databases

  • Plan events and fundraisers

  • Help keep our website up to date

  • Write/produce online ads to promote our adoptable cats, fundraisers, volunteer needs, etc.

  • Work with our medical team to keep our cats healthy and get them ready for their new homes

  • And more!
