Our kitties need YOU to help make their second chance at a happy life a reality. Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age or be accompanied by a parent or guardian during all volunteer activities. We have many opportunities for volunteers, including:
Sanctuary Cat Caregiver

Shifts are once a week, mornings or evenings for approximately 2 hours. Responsibilities include: Cleaning, feeding, socializing, and environmental enrichment.
Adoption Center Cat Caregiver
We have two shifts a day staffed by cat-savvy volunteers at our Petco location in Gilbert (1415 E Warner Rd – Warner and Val Vista). Duties include feeding, litter boxes, and loving the kitties while they await a forever home.

Do you love caring for cats? We need loving foster parents to give Save the Cats Arizona rescue cats a temporary home while they wait to be adopted. Duration varies from 2 weeks to a few months. Volunteers must be at least 21, experienced at caring for cats and be able to provide a safe, cat friendly home. Supplies can be provided by Save the Cats Arizona. Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Chandler area preferred. If a foster cat is unable to be adopted after a reasonable time, they will be returned to the Save the Cats Sanctuary.
