Feed cats and clean at the Frisky Cat Cafe. As little as one shift per week can help feed a lot of little mouths and only takes around 90 minutes. Duties typically consist of feeding, litter box scooping, fresh water refills, medicating when applicable, and other light cleaning (sweeping/mopping/wiping down surfaces). Sporadic 'deep cleans' are required since over time a lot of paws can track a lot of dirt, even though they're all indoors. Share a shift with a friend or family member- everyone is welcome. Your first few shifts you will shadow a veteran so you can learn our tips & tricks.

Socialize cats at the Frisky Cat Cafe. Some of our cats are shy or scared after being abandoned (who wouldn't be?) The more social they are, the faster they can be adopted. Since everyone is already fed, volunteers must be prepared for a lot of head butts & demands for snacks. Light duties such as belly rubs and cuddling are typically required.

Must be 15 years old to apply.

At Frisky Cat Cafe, our lounge attendants greet our customers and deliver drinks and pastries to our guests. We are looking for can't and animal lovers who will educate our customers about our mission to save cats and help make sure our guests have the best coffee ever and have the time of their lives while visiting. You will be the welcome wagon and social king or queen of the cat lounge. We want you to love the mission we stand for as much as our guests love petting cats. We would love someone with an open schedule and lots of availability, willing to work weekends and holidays. Having good people skills, enjoy meeting new people and have a polite positive attitude is a must. Having a great knowledge and passion for cats and coffee would be ideal. 

Responsible reliable volunteers needed to make sure the kitties are happy and are being treated appropriately by our guests. Must be over 18 with reliable transportation to apply.
