CURRENT VOLUNTEERS

PetSmart Feline Care Volunteers

Shelby Humane is looking for volunteers to help care for our adoptable cats at our PetSmart adoption centers in 280 and Alabaster.

 

Volunteers can choose from two daily shifts:
• 10:00 AM–12:00 PM
• 5:00 PM–7:00 PM

Volunteers help with cleaning, feeding, socialization, enrichment, and making sure our cats are comfortable and ready to meet their potential forever families.

Interested in volunteering?

 

Visit the Shelby Humane volunteer page to get started. All PetSmart volunteers must complete Shelter Orientation and a PetSmart-specific orientation before signing up for shifts.

Your time can make a direct difference in the lives of our cats!

Shelby Humane does offer court-ordered
community service opportunities.
Restrictions apply. 

For information, email: info@shelbyhumane.org

Thank you to our sponsors!
