Volunteer
Oppurtunities:
Cat
Cuddlers Club You can
volunteer to come in and sit
with the cats, brush them, clean
their ears and play with them.
Hours are from 12:00 pm until
5:00 pm every day (except
Sunday). How long you want
to stay is up to you. This
is a great oppurtunity for
seniors and children above 14
year of age (with a parent).
Dog
Walkers Club Again, you can
come in any of the above hours
and walk the dogs, brush them,
play ball and have fun!!
Needless to say, this for the
fit and young at heart.
Volunteer
Kennel Staff Of course
we ALWAYS need help cleaning and
feeding in the mornings and
tidying up in the afternoon.
VIP (Volunteer
Incentive Program) This
program is designed for
people that need
help spaying/neutering
their pets but can't
necessarily afford the
surgery. WE CAN HELP!
All you need to do is help
us clean in the morning
(must be here at 8am) and
once your hours are
completed then we can sell
you a discounted spay/neuter
voucher to take to any of
our local vets to cover the
surgery costs. A female dog
requires 8 hours of cleaning
and then the voucher would
cost $68.00. A male dog is 6
hours and $55, a female cat
is 4 hours and $56, and a
male cat is 2 hours and $33.
Bring a friend along and you
can combine your hours to
get it done faster. Please
call us if you have any
questions.
TNR
(Trap-Neuter-Release). This
program is geared towards
spaying/neutering our free
roaming cats here in Steuben
County, we are all aware
that we have an
overpopulation of cats here
in the county and we need
your help to help them.
Unfortunately our shelter in
struggling with funds and
cannot afford to spay/neuter
every cat in the county but
with your help we might be
able to do more than we are
right now. We provide traps
here at our shelter (we
require a $35.00 deposit but
is returned to you when our
trap comes back) and ask
that you donate $56.00 for
the surgery. All of our
local vets are aware of this
program, all you need to do
is call and make an
appointment with them to
know when you need to trap
any local free roaming cats.
Please call the shelter for
any additional information
or questions.
Volunteers
for off-site events Such as
going into classrooms to
introduce the K.I.N.D.
newsletter, picking up
newspapers and donated food,
off-site adoptions and
information booths, etc.
Foster
Program We need people
willing to take animals into
their home on a temporary basis,
mostly for medical needs
(pregnant, mamas with newborns,
animals that are to young, etc.)
and Humane Society pays for
their food and treatment.
When the problem is resolved,
they are then returned to our
adoption program.
Call
us, email us or stop by.
You are always welcome.
Our next
project is to renovate our cat
rooms to be more user friendly.
Donate supplies or folding
"wingchairs" to make a lap for
our petters and furry friends!

Picture Of Your Shelter Pet, We
Will Hang It In Our Lobby!
