Furkids is excited to now be at the PETCO Sandy Springs adoption center, located at 5938 Roswell Road NE.  We need volunteers to help support the center full-time.

Currently, we are housing adoptable cats at this location Fridays - Sundays only.  We would like to start being there full-time as soon as we can in order to give our cats more exposure to potential adopters -- thus possibly expediting more cats into forever homes.

Volunteer duties would include:

• Socializing with the cats.  This includes letting them out of their cages, engaging them in play, grooming them, petting them, giving them individual attention, allowing them to stretch their legs, etc.  Socializers also do light cleaning duties and talk to potential adopters about the cats and Furkids' adoption policies/procedures.
• Cleaning the cat cages and the adoption room in which the cats are housed.  This includes refreshing litter boxes, refreshing food and water bowls, making sure the cat beds and other cage linens are clean, wiping down all surfaces, sweeping and mopping the floor, cleaning windows, etc.
• Volunteers would also be asked to make observational notes in a notebook about each cat after each visit and work with the volunteer coordinator to ensure supplies are well-stocked and managed.

You can work as little as 1 hour per week or you can volunteer multiple days per week.  The amount of time you want to commit is up to you.  The work is highly satisfying and great fun to do in pairs!  So grab a friend, spouse, sibling, co-worker, child -- whomever -- and complete a volunteer application today.  After we receive your application, we will contact you for training and get you ready to start working with some great cats and people at PETCO Sandy Springs.  To learn more about our volunteers please feel free to browse through our volunteer pages.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Existing volunteers do not need to fill out a new application.  Just contact us at [email protected] and let us know if you would like to start volunteering at this location.
