Volunteer with Nine Lives Foundation

Make a difference in your community by helping the cats and kittens in our care. Every volunteer hour makes a difference!

Our volunteers are a driving force behind Nine Lives Foundation. Without their dedication, we would not be able to give so many kitties the care they deserve. Opportunities for volunteers include working in our adoption center and clinic, fostering, cat care and enrichment, transport, fundraising events & community outreach, technical support, administrative help, and more!

Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older and available to volunteer at least four to six hours a month on a weekly or bi-weekly schedule for a minimum of six months. Interested parties are encouraged to fill out our online volunteer application. Our volunteer coordinator will arrange an informational meeting and training.

Fostering with Nine Lives

Foster parents provide care for cats that need to be socialized, cats that need to be nursed back to health before they can be adopted, and kittens that are too young to be adopted.

A few weeks or months in a foster home can mean the difference between life and death. The more foster homes we have available, the more cats we can save!
