Adoption Site Animal Care
Volunteers are desperately needed to assist in maintaining the general welfare (feeding and cleaning) of the animal’s quarters at the various adoption locations. Volunteers are trained on how to keep animals’ cages clean and sanitized to promote a healthy environment.
Adoption Counselors & Cat Cuddlers
The Adoption Counselors and Cat Cuddlers spend time at our adoption events, greeting potential adopters and answer questions regarding the adoption process. They also take animals out of their cages to visit with potential adopters, answer questions about the animals, and try to find the best pet match. They give attention and affection to the cats and kittens during their stay at the adoption venues, making them more comfortable on the adoption floor.
Spay/Neuter Clinics
Volunteers are needed for our small and large scale spay/neuter clinics. You can easily be trained how to put together surgical packs, or clean instruments for the volunteering Vets. Learn and perform Veterinarian assist positions, recording, tracking, and monitoring of animals, and other needed tasks. Spay/neuter clinics are the heart of Camp Companion. If you are able to share your time, it’s educational and rewarding.
TNR Crew
Be part of the heart of one of our missions. To prevent homeless animals through Trap-Neuter-Return. Volunteers are needed to learn and help with feral cat trapping. It’s no “fluf” job, but very rewarding to see immediate success of the program.
Foster Care
Volunteers provide housing and care for cats and kittens, who are not yet adopted or not ready to be put up for adoption due to being too young, too shy or ill. (An initial supply of pet food and other necessary items are provided by Camp Companion if need exists.) Camp Companion relies soley on foster homes to provide shelter for the cats waiting for their forever home. Download our Foster Home Application
Clean Team
Can you do some laundry? Or wash some dishes? Volunteers are needed to launder sheets, towels, etc that are used to keep the animals comfortable while at adoption events. Pet dishes also need a thorough cleaning as well. Pickup and drop-off locations are typically PetSmart North and South.
Holiday Helpers
Camp Companion is gearing up for the holidays. Volunteers are being sought for our Home for the Holidays adoption event November 27th through December 20th. Like to gift wrap?? Volunteers are needed to donate time and talent gift wrapping at Barnes and Nobles in December. Santa’s checking his list . . .and would be grateful to see you on it helping with Santa photos at PetSmart North / South, and PetCo weekends in December. Contact Teresa Zais for more details and to sign up if you’re able to help.
Ambassadors
Promote Camp Companion, our spay-neuter programs, pet adoption, and responsible pet ownership at public outreach events. These volunteers assist with publicity, community events, trade shows, and speaking engagements to raise awareness about Camp Companion by handing out literature, answering questions about the organization, or giving talks about our missions and programs.
