PAWS is in need of dedicated people to help foster cats in their houses until volunteers can find permanent, loving homes for them. We do not have a facility to house our animals, so we rely solely on the generosity of individuals willing to open their homes on a temporary basis to our feline friends.
Other PAWS Volunteer Opportunities include: PETsMART Adoption Center (morning pet care specialists and evening/weekend adoption coordinators), Garage Sales, Fundraising, Bake Sales, Trap-Neuter-Return, Foster Homes, Spay-Neuter Education, Mother's Day Tea, Holiday Cookie Dough Fundraiser and more! Contact us for more info to join our fun and compassionate group. We need you!
To find out more information on volunteering, please contact PAWS by e-mailing volunteer@pawsofpa.org
