🐾 Spay/Neuter Transport Scheduler

Help us coordinate transportation that makes spay and neuter services possible for cats in our community.
The Neuterville Express transport program helps clients access spay and neuter services by providing transportation to our Spay/Neuter Clinic, removing a critical barrier to care for cats in our community.
This role plays an important part in ensuring requests are processed accurately, appointments are scheduled efficiently, and clients receive clear and timely communication

🗓 Shifts available:
Monday and Wednesday, with flexible 2 hour shifts that can be completed anytime between 8:00 AM–2:00 PM. We are ideally looking for one volunteer who can commit to both shifts each week.

✅ Are comfortable working with Google tools, including Sheets and Gmail, on a laptop
✅ Enjoy organized, detail-oriented work and keeping information accurate and up to date
✅ Feel comfortable communicating with clients by email (training and templates provided)

🐾 Cat Care – Medical & Foster Care Center

Healing starts with compassionate care.

Our Cat Care volunteers help create a clean, comfortable environment where cats can recover, receive medical care, and prepare for foster homes. While the work may happen behind the scenes, the impact is felt by every cat who comes through our doors.

🗓 Shifts available:
Saturdays: 9:00–11:00 AM

You would be a great fit if you:
✅ Enjoy hands-on animal care, including refreshing food and water, replacing newspaper bedding, and maintaining clean living spaces.

Our Spay/Neuter Clinic welcomes dozens of clients each day. The hustle and bustle of morning surgery check-in can feel overwhelming, especially for first-time visitors.

As a Clinic Concierge volunteer, you will greet clients, assist with the flow of morning check-in, and help create a positive, welcoming, and stress-free experience for everyone who walks through our doors.
