Why I Volunteer

  • My favorite part about volunteering at Almost Home Cat Rescue is helping care for and give a voice / safe space to cats and kittens. It’s such a rewarding cause and experience to see them thrive before and on their way to their new homes, and the people at AHCR are some of the best I know.

  • When I come into AHCR, the cats or kittens look at me with love in their eyes. They know that I love each and every one of them, even the shy ones, and I'm there to take care of them. AHCR is miles above other shelters, giving the cats so much space to roam, climb, and play without cages. It is kept spotlessly clean and in good repair. The founders truly care about each and every cat. The medical officer is exceptionally devoted to their health and well-being.

  • I love volunteering with Almost Home because of the impact I can make on cats and my community. I appreciate the flexibility that the shelter offers. I'm able to bring my ideas and have them supported and brought to life by the time thus supporting the mission further.

  • We enjoy volunteering with Almost Home for several reasons. Its an easy and rewarding way to help, and everyone is so friendly. We look forward to our shifts, especially the chance to play with and cuddle cute cats and kittens, it's like our reward!

  • I started visiting Almost Home and then volunteering as a way to share my love with cats and kittens after we lost our last cat, Sassy. I particularly like working with cats that are shy, withdrawn, or nervous about their new surroundings at the shelter, getting them socialized and comfortable with interacting with people, so that they can then move on to their adoptive homes. They get some love and care, and I get my "cat fix"!

  • I love volunteering at Almost Home Cat Rescue because it provides me with the opportunity to give back to a community that I care about. There is a feeling of selfless accomplishment and pride when I finish cleaning one of the cat rooms and get to spend time giving these amazing cats love and attention that they deserve. This rescue is also so unique in that there are no cages and every cat they take in is given so much love and care by this amazing team. Almost Home is serious about community and culture at rescues and I have so much respect for them!

  • I chose to volunteer with Almost Home Cat rescue because I love cats and I thought it would be a good opportunity to get in some extra kitty cuddles while giving back to the community. The people at the shelter are incredibly kind and welcoming, and you can tell everyone has a real affinity for animals and their well-being. Almost Home's cage-free layout is very unique and allows people to make instant bonds with the cats, something I've loved witnessing during my time as a volunteer. If you're on the fence about applying, I say "go for it," the process is easy, the schedule is flexible and the time you get to spend with the cats is priceless
