KITTEN TRANSPORT TEAM

Got a car, a little bit of time, and don't mind the sound of kittens screeching from their carriers? We provide the kittens and carriers, and you help get them where they are going (usually to the vet, or back to the adoption center from the vet). We have need in the early mornings, afternoons, and weekends, so we can work with any schedule!

PICK YOUR PASSION

I look forward to volunteering at Paws and Claws every week. No matter how stressful my day at work could have been, coming down to the shelter to help out adorable cats and experience camaraderie with other volunteers never fails to lift my spirits. I truly feel like I have found a place where I can contribute something meaningful while also having a great time.
