Volunteer
Lori bottle feeding an orphaned kitten
Volunteers are the life blood of any shelter. We are particularly in need of foster homes to help feed orphaned kittens. This is a challenging but very rewarding job, and spring brings many orphaned kittens to the shelter. If you are not quite up to the challenge, we also need foster homes for mother cats with kittens, or kittens that just need a few weeks to grow before they are ready for adoption. To be a foster home, please contact the shelter at (530) 894-5630 and ask for Lori.
We are also in search of volunteers who might be interested in doing adoption counseling or becoming adoption ambassadors, as well as people who have an interest in dog behavior and can help with behavior modification.
If you are unable to foster or work directly with animals, there are other ways to help! We could use volunteers to help with keeping our website up to date, check lost and found logs, and other office duties. Currently we are looking for people to volunteer at the front desk. If you'd like to get more involved in the shelter, we can always use volunteers to help with feeding, cleaning, and maintenance. Or, if you're not able to visit the shelter on a regular basis, you can still help out by holding a food/supply drive at your office or in your neighborhood.
To volunteer, please download the following forms and return to the shelter or send via e-mail to chicoanimalshelter@yahoo.com. You will need to fill out either the Volunteer Application or Foster Care Application (or both).
