Volunteers needed to spend an hour with shelter cats at Petco

Can you volunteer to care for shelter cats waiting for adoption at Shoreline Petco?

King County’s animal shelter is seeking volunteers to care for cats from the shelter waiting for adoption at Aurora Village Petco, 1241 North 205th. 

Weekly one-hour shifts are available in the morning or early evening. There are usually 1-2 cats at a time.

As of early December, these are the following shift openings:

• Mondays: 9am - 10am
• Wednesdays: 9am - 10am
• Fridays: 9am - 10am
• Fridays: 6pm - 7pm
• Sundays: 5pm - 6pm

Requirements and Commitment

Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) will provide orientation and training, and asks all volunteers to make an initial commitment of a weekly shift for six months (time off okay for vacations, illness, etc.).

Volunteers must be at least 10 years old. Those between 10 and 15 years old must volunteer with a parent/guardian. This is a great way for students to fill community service requirements.
