Volunteer With Cause 4 Paws

Volunteers are the heart of Cause 4 Paws. Whether you have a few hours each month or want to become a regular volunteer, there are many ways to make a meaningful difference in the lives of homeless cats and kittens.

Why Volunteer?

Every Volunteer Makes a Difference

Cause 4 Paws is completely volunteer-run. Every adoption, fundraiser, foster placement, and rescued cat is possible because compassionate people choose to donate their time and talents.

Whether you enjoy working directly with cats, helping at events, or lending professional skills behind the scenes, there is a place for you on our team.

Volunteer Opportunities

Find Your Perfect Fit

PetSmart Cat Care

Help care for our adoptable cats by providing fresh food and water, cleaning their living spaces, and spending time socializing and playing with them. Your visits help keep our cats happy, healthy, and ready to meet their future families.

PetSmart Laundry

Help keep our cats cozy and comfortable by washing, drying, and returning bedding, towels, blankets, and other linens used in our PetSmart Adoption Center.

Photography

Great photos help cats find homes faster. If you enjoy photography and have a DSLR or quality camera, your talents can help showcase our cats to potential adopters.

Special Events

Help at adoption events, fundraising events, Christkindlmarkt, community outreach opportunities, and other special events throughout the year.

Fundraising & Community Outreach

Assist with organizing fundraising events, greeting visitors, sharing information about our rescue, organizing donated items, and supporting activities that help provide care for the cats and kittens in our program.

Professional Skills

Experience with marketing, grant writing, fundraising, photography, web design, accounting, social media, or other professional skills can make a tremendous impact behind the scenes.

Volunteer Requirements

Before You Begin

  • Volunteers under 18 must have a parent or guardian complete a waiver.
  • Volunteers under 16 must be accompanied by an adult volunteer at all times.
  • Volunteering is a wonderful family activity and an excellent opportunity for students to earn community service hours.

Volunteer Spotlight

Meet Jared Demarkis

We are proud to recognize Jared Demarkis as one of the dedicated volunteers who helps make Cause 4 Paws possible. Jared is a familiar face at our PetSmart adoption events, helping with setup, assisting visitors, and making sure every event runs smoothly.

Jared has fostered more than 50 cats and kittens through our rescue, providing countless animals with safe, loving homes while they waited for adoption. He has also taken on some of our most challenging foster responsibilities, including bottle-feeding vulnerable kittens, transporting cats to veterinary appointments, and assisting with our veterinary support clinics.

His willingness to help wherever he is needed, his compassion for every animal, and his positive attitude make him an invaluable member of the Cause 4 Paws family. Volunteers like Jared are the reason we are able to continue saving lives every day.
