Calling all cat lovers! Marin Humane's Hopalong Foster Program is seeking new volunteers to help care for the cats and kittens at our Oakland office. You'll have the opportunity to meet and care for a wide variety of kitties in this role, which is the perfect blend of cleaning and cuddling. As an Animal Care Volunteer, you’ll provide hands-on care by feeding, cleaning cages, doing laundry and dishes, and socializing kitties temporarily housed at Hopalong’s Oakland office. Volunteer shifts are available seven days a week and at a variety of times, so you should be able to find a time that fits conveniently into your existing schedule. Our next volunteer orientation is coming up on Tuesday, August 27th at 6pm - please sign up here to join us!
