Volunteer at an Adoption Centre

While AVA is a foster-based rescue without a physical location, we partner with PetSmart adoption centres in Toronto, Scarborough, Richmond Hill, Brampton, and Vaughan. We are always looking for energetic volunteers to feed and clean up after the cats, keep the adoption centers clean, play with and socialize our cats, and assist potential adopters to find the right cat.

​

Volunteer Requirements:​
 

• Must be over the age of 18

• Able to commit to a regular three-hour shift for a minimum of 3 months

• Cleaning and scooping litter pans

• Cleaning cages and washing cat dishes

• Feeding wet and dry food

• Brushing, playing with, and socializing the cats

• Comfortable talking to people about the cats, our organization, the adoption process, and speak fluent English

• Reliable! The cats depend on you to come in for your shift and it is difficult to find an alternate on short notice

 

If you think this sounds like a fit for you, apply to volunteer and set up a volunteer orientation session.
