Taking care of the cats and the sanctuary is a fun and rewarding experience!  You will be helping to provide a clean and safe environment for the cats and our sanctuary guests. If you love cats and enjoy cleaning, this may be the opportunity for you!

• The sanctuary is in Roxbury, CT
• You must be 18 or older with a driver's license and reliable transportation
• You need to have a cell phone and email and use both for communicating with us
• You will be cleaning and working inside and outside the sanctuary – scooping lots of litter boxes, sweeping and mopping floors, scrubbing walls, etc. 
• You'll need to be able to bend, reach and otherwise physically perform these tasks.  You need to be able to lift a 20-pound bag of cat food.
• We are looking for volunteers who can commit to a weekly 3-hour shift 9:00-12:00 and be reliable.

If this describes you, we would love to have you apply!

If you enjoy talking to people, this may be the opportunity for you!  We set up tables outside of local grocery stores to collect food and supplies for the sanctuary.  We also set up at local farmer's markets and other events to tell people about our cause.

• Events are typically in towns around Roxbury, like Southbury, Woodbury, Watertown, New Milford, etc.
• You must be 18 or older with a driver's license and reliable transportation
• You need to have a cell phone and email and use both for communicating with us
• You will be sitting and standing at a table, usually outdoors and under a tent.  
• You may need to help with set up and/or takedown of the table and materials we give away
• You need to be outgoing, comfortable striking up conversations and encouraging people to donate or sign up for our mailing lists
• Shifts are usually 3 or 4 hours and often on Saturday or Sunday

If this sounds like fun, we'd love to have you apply!
